Featured review
This was one of my favorite movies when i was little. I think the first time i saw it, i was about 5 or 6, and my mom put it on after I got a happy-meal from McDonalds. I always wanted to watch the movie but cried every time at the end. This is definitely one of my favorite movies of my youth. It's an amazing cartoon adventure of a girl who leaves home and is befriended by a kangaroo.
I haven't seen this movie in maybe 17 years or more, but I would like to buy it. The animation is fantastic and is truly one of the better animated films even though it will now be outdated. I think its a fantastic story and should be rented and never forgotten. A seminal cartoon for me. -Aaron.
