Does anybody out there know how they spelled the name of the monster in this movie? I made a guess here, but I haven't seen this in probably close to fifteen years so I can't verify it.

THANK YOU! i haven't seen the movie in probably 20 years, and I can still remember the scary-ass bunyip is completely scarifying!
shareCome to think of it, the Bunyip is about the only thing that I remember about the movie. Oh, that and the fact that the kangaroo gives the girl drugs in the beginning.

shareOh my god i am so comforted to know that it wasn't just me that was scared to death of that Bunyip thing. Still sends chills up my spine
share[deleted]
I remember the song. It was like "The Bunyip's coming to get you. The Bunyip's very bold". Scared me stupid. I think I remember what it looked like too. It was kind of a blurry yellow figure with green spots, wasn't it?
shareYep i remember. Weird kinda glowy(is that even a word)thing. And yes i remember the song too.I couldn't get it out of my head and it scared the pants off me. My mum had to leave the radio on just so that i would go to sleep.
share"the bunyips very bad, and the bunyips very bold...and they tell me that the bunyip is now a 1000 years old"
"so you better run home quickly, and you better hide very soon, cos the bunyips going to get you...in the bunyip moon!"
Top tune, was the best in the movie. I'm 29 now and must have been ten when I saw this. Can't believe i remember the words so well.
Anyone remember the singing frogs???

OMG
THATS REALLY SCARED ME NOW
THERES LOADS OF DIFFERNT KINDS ON BUNYIPS
AND I CLICKED ON THE ONE AND ITS JUST LIKE THE FILM
LIVES IN RAINFORSISTS!!!!!
please could someone start talking again?
shareI dont belive in many things like ghosts and stuff like that,
but just because i watched this film when i was little its made me belive in bunyips and it still makes me shiver everytime i say " Bunyip "
i remember being scared of it every night when i went to sleep i used to see it in my head and then hear the music AHHHH im still scared now.
i first watched this movie when i was about 4, as my mum taped it on tv,
and i had nightmares nearly every night,
it stills makes me very scared,
HOW FUNNY!Years ago I got a bootleg copy of it for the same reason. That damn Bunyip still scares the sh*t out of me which is hysterical because it looks like an amoeba. I'm a huge horror/cult fan and have seen just about everything. The bunyip is scariest!
shareIam a 25 year old male who remembers this movie, The bunyips and dancing frogs are what I remember most about this movie , there was a sequel to this movie,
Dot and the mosiquito or something like that.
P..s does anybody know what country this movie is from ?
[deleted]
Let's see, Kangaroo's, Bunyips, Willie Wagtails, Dingoes.. Could it be Australia? ;-)
The Bunyip was scary. I was just talking about it with my sister, we haven't seen the movie in 10 or so years, but the way that Bunyip was animated and they made it leap out of the fire as though it was part of it and meld into the picture on the cave wall... It really was terrifying. Makes you think that the bunyip could appear out of anything.
I'm glad it isn't just me that remembers how scary the bunyip was..:)
It scared me silly as a kid...and even now as an adult!!
I did like the film very much...I wonder why they never play it on televsion??

I a, so stoked that other people actually remember this movie, I looked it up years ago at a blockbuster but they said they couldnt order it, then the other day someone says something about it and all of a sudden all the memories cam rushing back again. I was probably 4 the first time i saw it and the monster plus i think i remember it storming and a diggereedoo (spelling) playing this erie music. And oh damn the nightmares i used to have about that damned sound and the bunyip.
I would so love to see this again, and maybe even scare the bajeezus outta my 4 yr old >:) time to scope the wallie worlds.

Bunyip....
I've been trying to find this movie for the longest time - I had watched 'Dot and the Bunny' and 'Dot and the Kangaroo', both I had never seen. Thank you IMDB :)
I remember this movie scared me as a child, and just coming to this site and seeing the word 'Bunyip' gave me the shivers! I remember the film was like an acid trip or something, mix of live and animation. Good stuff, I gotta find this one again!
I know this is about the 1,000th time this has been said on here, but I"m 31. When I was little kid I must ahve watched this movie a couple dozen times with my sister. And nothing, and I mean NOTHING, scared us like the bunyip. The combination of that muisc and that deranged looking boo berry with fangs or whatever he was horrified me. I watched Nightmare on Elm St, Halloween, Friday the 13th, any and all monster movies on tv all the time and nothing phased me...except that friggin' Bunyip! I almost want to watch this movie for the first time in about 20 years, but I really am almost afraid to. Easily the most horrifying thing I ever saw as a child.
shareI used to call it "The biscuit monster" because it looks just like Water Crackers. I would love to get inside the head of the director of that film. It would be a dark, dark place...
shareI'm another one who was in mortal terror of the Bunyip, my sister used to torment me by singing it at me!!
shareHere's for all you that haven't been scared in a while. I used to love this while growing up, but I remember the Bunyip scaring the bejesus outta me.
Found the Bunyip video:

Thanks for that dude.
It's amazing how universally scary that was to 7 year olds. Can't imagine todays I-POD clutching spoilt little pop gen brat pack batting an eyelid though... and that is a real shame.
I'm off to post this on an aussie girl's My Space and freak her out!

This has literally been one of the most validating times of my life the day that i discovered that there are others who have the same INSANE irrational fear of this damn cartoon monster! I started to watch the YOUTUBE video that dude put up there but as soon as the song started i couldn't handle it. I'm 25 years old, raced motorcycles, skydove, camped out in the wilderness countless times and when i think of this movie the fear comes back like when i first watched it 23 years ago!! WHY??!! this guy was on some serious mushrooms when he directed this movie, and i would love to get my hands on some of them. the music is the creepiest part!
shareOh dear Gaz....
Maybe you could... should... be over it by now.
Although when I hear the music starting, I remember the mortal terror of my childhood, even if I don't feel it. Instead, I just sort of feel compelled to watch it again and again......

Not only did that bunyip in the film scare me to bits as a child....but as an adult I found its an actual legend.

I had the movie tie-in book of the movie and I simply could not turn to the page with the bunyip pictured on it. I had to skip past it. It scared the HELL out of me. Even now, at the age of 33, it still creeps me out a bit. Something about those eyes ... brrr.
shareI'M NOT THE ONLY ONE?!?!?!
I loved this movie when I was a 4 years old or so but the Bunyip scared the hell out of me. Between the music and the toothy ghost like creature, I couldn't sleep some nights.
All this time I felt like an arse for that brief child hood fear (and my taste for horror movies was honed by Nightmare on Elm St, mind you) and couldn't admit that the bunyip scared me.
I wonder if I can find a copy on Ebay.
...Not the only one at all...
The 'Dot' movies used to play on tv here in the states when I was a kid. The Bunyip scene gave me nightmares as much as any horror movie at the time. That creepy, ghostly apparition running towards the screen would probably still freak me out today at age 35 lol. I'd still love to see this movie again.
This is Dorsia?
I used to watch this movie all the time on HBO and the Bunyip didn't bother me until the night of my first ever sleepoever, I had a friend over, we watched it, and she got to scared of the Bunyip, she convinced me to be afraid. We couldn't sleep that night because of it! Ah, peer pressure.
I got a VHS copy of this within the past few years and watched it with my daughter when she was about the same age as I was back then, and it didn't hold her interest at all. :( My husband (who saw it growing up in England) and I both nearly break down in tears just by saying "Kangaroo, come back! Come back, Kangaroooooooooo!" *sniff*
the bunyip aahhh scary i saw it on the bbc years ago and now have the dvd
shareThis movie popped into my head the other day and I got to wondering why it freaked me out so much when I was really little. I just remembered a song that I hated and dot and the kagaroo walking through the forest or something like that. So I decided to investigate and found this and now I see why I was so scared. I had totally forgotten about the Bunyip and I still vaguely remember it, but I DO remember, lol.
shareDang! The song still freaks me out! Maybe not as much as it used to, but it does.
Here's the song if any of y'all want to watch and listen to it:

The bunyip scared the sweet everloving *beep* out of me as a child. I'm just now rewatching the movie- they're in the 'sacred cave,' I'm afraid to unpause it. Eeeeadkfj;akdjf
sharei still fast forward through the bunyip part!
share
I was watching the bunyip scene on youtube. I remember being scared as a child at 4, and I can see now that it still has the ability to scare me at 31 years old. I wonder what makes this image so frightened to us.
OH MY GOD.
I CAN'T Believe all you other people here were scared #&%^less by the Bunyip also. When I was little I would start crying and I would run up the stairs and hide in the hallway while this part of the movie was playing. I had nightmares about it all the time, and I am NOT joking when I say I am scared to watch it now. I saw that someone posted a youtube clip and I CAN'T click on it, I just can't....
Wow, it's so amazing to see everyone here feeling the same way.

But its just a animated ghost running towards the tv screen. Its weird how something like that freaks us out so much.
shareBunyip is the correct spelling.
I also found it scary as a child and recently uploaded a youtube of that song to my myspace for Halloween. I now have an mp3 of the song. I just want to find out the name of the singer now so I can label it. That's why I came to IMDB today.

If anyone ever comes on this board again, it's been over 18mths since last post, but I've thought of a way that we can overcome our fear of the Bunyip. It still scares me when I'm in dense, dark bushland (not that that's real often). But for those Australians on the board, can anyone remember about 10 years ago the little chocolate things called 'Yowies', with little figurines inside? If I can recall I think they were Bunyips.

As you can see, one is named Boof. If there is a Bunyip named Boof, then we have nothing to be afraid of. Also, just think about chocolate .... *mmm, chocolate*
