Sinopsis:
A touching story of a boy and his pet kangaroo. How wonderful. How much fun. And Touching! In a touching tale a boy raises an orphaned baby kangaroo in the outback of Australia but due to events beyond his control is forced to return the animal to the wild. A film for animal lovers of all ages. Beautifully photographed and acted. A classic animal story.
Presented without dialogue, this live-action film uses a background of aboriginal music to tell the story about a young Australian boy and his kangaroo. Robbie and his father unavoidably hit and kill a mother kangaroo with their jeep. The mother’s baby survives the accident, and the boy is permitted to keep it as a pet. The boy does his best to raise the orphaned baby and watches it grow into an affectionate pet, but the kangaroo also grows into a nuisance. The young kangaroo creates much mischief, shattering china and furniture, trampling the flower garden, and upsetting a local food stand. This angers the neighbours and shopkeepers, and eventually the kangaroo is shot at. Wounded, it runs into the bush for shelter. The heartbroken boy eventually finds it and nurses it back to health. However, it has become too difficult to control the kangaroo’s activities, so the boy makes the painful decision to return it to the wild.
