The Outback

Koala Kid (also known as Outback or The Outback) in South Korea) is a 2012 computer-animated action comedy film directed by Kyung Ho Lee and released on January 12, 2012. The English dub cast consists of Rob Schneider, Bret McKenzie, Frank Welker, Yvonne Strahovski, Alan Cumming, Tim Curry, and Chris Edgerly. Plot In Australia, a white koala named Johnny is teased about his color, so he joins a traveling circus with the help of Hamish the Tasmanian Devil, and Higgens the spider monkey photographer. He is disappointed that he is part of the freak show instead of the main acts in the big tent. The top act is "Wild Bushman" who takes all the audience from the freak show. Johnny checks out the show and accidentally becomes part of it, and The Wild Bushman saves him. While traveling to a new location, their wagon train car becomes unattached and crashes in "The Outback". On their quest to go to the next location of the traveling circus, "Precipice Lake", they come upon a billabong. They witness from their cliff location a pack of dingos, Blacktooth, Loki, Cutter, and Butch, as well as their thylacine ally Hex, chasing a bilby but is rescued by a kangaroo named Mac, a wombat army, and Miranda, a vine-swinging female koala talented at throwing a boomerang. A vulture named Boris reveals that the Saltwater crocodile Bog intends to take over the billabong. When their rescue goes wrong, and the dingos threaten to take over, Johnny then escapes and lides down the cliff and ends up rolling on top of a boulder, chasing the dingos away. Hamish introduces the now-famous white koala as "Koala Kid". Miranda is unimpressed, but Johnny watches her from a tree as she practices. When noticed, Miranda breaks the branch he is on with her boomerang and complains about him watching in secret. He tries to lie out of that accusation but ends up suggesting he is an expert at the boomerang and is proven wrong when offered to try it himself. Hamish plans to take photos of Johnny doing heroic stuff and make him famous as Koala Kid, so when they get back to the circus, they can get in the main act rather than the freak show and earn Hamish more money. Bog is not impressed with his gang getting chased by a koala, so he orders them to capture Koala Kid. In the chase, Miranda's younger sister Charlotte gets covered with cosmetic powder and mistaken for the Koala Kid resulting in her getting kidnapped.
