KANGAROO Is Bouncing Into Cinemas This Spring

From the Studio that brought you PADDINGTON comes KANGAROO. In Cinemas September 18.

KANGAROO is a heartwarming family film about an ex-TV personality (Ryan Corr) and a 12-year-old Indigenous girl (Lily Whiteley) who bond while rescuing orphaned joeys in the Australian Outback.

KANGAROO Is Bouncing Into Cinemas This Spring

Just in time for the spring school holidays, KANGAROO is a family-friendly comedy about ex-TV personality, Chris Masterman, who becomes stranded in a town outside Alice Springs. There, he teams up with Charlie, a 12-year-old Indigenous Australian girl, and the pair form an unlikely friendship.

They work together to rescue and rehabilitate orphaned joeys in the remote but stunning Outback community - an endeavour that proves to be life-changing for them both.

Set and filmed on location in the stunning Australian Red Centre town of Alice Springs, and Sydney’s iconic Bondi Beach, KANGAROO is inspired by the life of Chris ‘Brolga’ Barns, founder of The Kangaroo Sanctuary, Alice Springs.

KANGAROO is a joyous, feel-good film that brings to life a uniquely Australian story about community, friendship and the beloved kangaroo.
- Louise Gough, Screen Australia
