AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Written around an original story by Yoram Gross, with the characters based on Edith Pedley's classic children's tale about a young girl and her friend, a large female kangaroo. In this sequel to the 1977 film Dot and the Kangaroo, Dot joins up with Santa Claus in order to help her friend the kangaroo find her lost joey. The pair take off into the air in Santa's sleigh (pulled by two kangaroos) and travel the world searching for the zoo where the joey has been sent.
