Question: Need help finding 80s movie with half animation and half live-action

I'm looking for a movie that was possibly made in the early 80s. It had a similar feel of Jungle Book because it had a little boy in it with many animals including a kangaroo. It was part animation and part live-action, and I believe the entire movie was set in Australia. I wish I could remember more details of it, but I was quite young when I watched it and I haven't been able to find it since.

Maybe your memory has combined it with Skippy the Bush Kangaroo.

Wow! Mere days ago I was going to ask if anybody knew what this film was, but my recollections were even hazier than czechmate's and I couldn't put anything into words beyond "little girl" and "live action/cartoon". Thanks.

Dang, I can't mark Jenga's answer as best. No matter how hard I try. What's wrong???? Oh... right... czechmate has to do it.

Ahem. :)

Forgive me, I'm learning the functionality of this place. It's only been a few days since signing up to mefi. :) I've lurked for years and my husband threw a $5 bill at me the other day and said "do pice, just sign up to that blue thing"

Thank you for your help Jenga and thanks to teg for uprooting another memory.

Hey! Nagging works! I'm gonna try it more often!

Welcome czechmate! It's the best $5 you will ever spend. Unless you end up buying a Picasso at a garage sale.

If you think it had a little boy and live action, I bet you also saw Dot and Keeto, an absolutely terrible movie compared to the rest of the Dot movies.
