Trivia
The plot of the film is somewhat confusing as Dot is still searching for the Kangaroo's missing joey despite having previously achieved this goal in "Dot and Santa Claus". See more »Goofs
Dot encounters some tree-kangaroos during her journey even though such a species is not native to New South Wales where the film is supposed to be set. See more »Quotes
Dot: Rabbits are important. What about Easter time? Whenever you think of Easter, you think of the Easter bunny.See more »

Dot and the Kangaroo was my all-time favourite movie as a kid (though it mysteriously vanished one day - possibly my family being driven mad by its being watched endlessly) but Dot and the Bunny was a very weird, very poor follow-on. It had none of the plot, gaiety, excitement or merriment of Dot and the Kangaroo, it was just a bit slow and grey, and the depressed Bunny, clearly suffering some kind of Bunny mid-life crisis, was an inappropriate character for a children's' film, I feel. The atmosphere of this film is really, really strange. Having said that, I haven't actually seen it for over a decade. Has it been warped in my memory?
