Dot and the Smugglers Plot

A circus owner attempts to capture a mysterious Bunyip, but Dot and her bushland friends try to foil his plans.

One of Dot's tamest films also has the best art style and animation of the series (the animation director moved on to Roger Rabbit, go figure). The whole "Dot in the Pouch" number from Dot and the Kangaroo is even reused in its entirety probably to commemorate the film's 10th anniversary and give you an idea of how much has changed over the past decade the time it was released.

Cute as ever for kids, especially those who were traumatised by certain elements of the first two films that are reused and toned down here, but for adults who grew up with Dot it may ruin any memory they had of the bunyip if they judge this as consistent with the original.
