Featured reviews
This is such an interesting movie. I love the characters very much, my favorite character is Maddie the snake, she's just so cute and beautiful. Some animated movies like this are not as perfect as Disney, but this animated film, may have this well-worn silly humor, but the characters won me over a lot. I hope that there will be a sequel.
Finally an Aussie animation that both parents and children can watch together, yet enjoy on totally separate levels of humour..and it is hilarious!
"Back To The Outback" follows the road trip of a bunch of creatures in the reptile house at a zoo (closely resembling a cross between Taronga and Australia Zoo) who are sick and tired of being locked in, only to be released as part of an exhibition where humans gawk at them like they're monsters.
This group of Australia's deadliest creatures plot a daring escape from their zoo to the Outback.
Glorious animation is teamed with a clever, funny screenplay from Harry Cripps (who also directed this feature film) and loveable characters voiced by Aussie icons like Eric Bana, Isla Fisher, Kylie Minogue, Jackie Weaver and Tim Minchin to name a few and backed by a great soundtrack.
Marvellous Summer entertainment out now on #Netflix.

It is an entertaining movie, sweet yet with modern irony, every character get's a shot, everybody can be a hero. Nice happy end. I am 51 and it cheered me up after a bad day.
As an Australian and as a resident of the Blue Mountains all of my life (64 yrs).. I could pick this to pieces BUT I wont because it was so well done and such fun that I just couldn't help but love it . Pretty sure its one I will watch again to see what I missed. Highly recommended !
I find that CG animated films outside of the major studios are normally a "big miss" money grabs catered towards young kids (not requiring good writers and animators). But, this by far is an exception - with great character designs for the creepy creatures and humans, and actually funny, heartwarming dialog for all ages! :-)
Did you know
- TriviaThe lead character voiced by Eric Bana is called Chas Hunt, initials C Hunt which is a play on words for an adult word that the Australians have a peculiar fondness for. Goodness knows how they got this past censors.
- GoofsIn the chase scene, the view of the fire engine in the rear view mirror shows the koala in the right hand side of the vehicle, however it's a right hand drive, so the mirror image should show the koala in the left hand side of the vehicle, the same as the shots of the fire engine from the front.
