Extraordinary animal footage.

The first twenty minutes or so of this film are among the most beautiful pieces of cinema I have ever seen. Essentially silent, the sequence shows us the interaction of a group of Australian animals - climaxing in the orphaning of a small kangaroo. How these scenes were realized I cannot begin to imagine (I hope no cruelty was involved), but they are so tender, so beautiful and so exquisitely photographed that they are unforgettable. As good as anything Disney ever accomplished with live animal footage.

The rest of the film has occasional flashes of this initial brilliance, but the plot and acting become a little confused - and the attempts at low comedy fail completely. The very end is gorgeous - but the film fails to climax as it should. But you must see this film if you get the chance! It is extraordinary.
