Shanna C This is NOT a movie for young kids. There is a lot of adult references and it’s rather inappropriate and I don’t recommend it. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/11/25 Full Review Jeff B Bright, well-paced, and entertaining. We really enjoyed this movie. The plot is simple and the characters are easy to root for. Visually the movie is vibrant and well put together. The ONLY reason I wouldn’t give 5/5 is because of the few (I mean few) adult sexual innuendos that are sprinkled in. It’s not egregious, but it just doesn’t have a place in a children’s film and doesn’t add anything to the movie. But overall, it’s an excellent kids film that I think is a hit. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/08/25 Full Review Daniel L Back to the Outback is the cinematic equivalent of soggy toast—bland, uninspired, and utterly forgettable. It desperately wants to be a heartfelt adventure about misfits finding their place in the world, but instead, it delivers a painfully predictable storyline with jokes that land about as well as a faceplant onto concrete. The animation is generic, the characters are walking stereotypes, and the emotional beats feel so forced you can practically hear the script begging you to care. Even the "message" about not judging a book by its cover is drowned in uninspired execution and a lack of originality. The villain is laughably one-dimensional, the dialogue is filled with tired pop-culture references that will age like milk, and the pacing drags so much that even kids might lose interest. It’s a movie that exists, and that’s about the best thing I can say about it. If you’re looking for a charming, animated adventure, watch Zootopia, Madagascar, or literally any other movie that does this concept justice. Back to the Outback belongs in the cinematic wasteland, never to be revisited. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/16/25 Full Review Audience Member A pretty decent movie, although it promotes the idea that dangerous Australian animals are safe to touch and pet. The movie itself is pretty sweet, but the concept of "Don’t worry, they may be deadly, but they’re nice! I swear!" just seems a bit dangerous to me. Any dumb tourist could see a potentially venomous snake or spider and try to pick it up because a movie said it was ok. That aside though, I like the designs, and Nigel was really cute. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/25 Full Review Matt Y Much worse than I remember it being. It's a good movie to put on the background to distract your kids, but for adults it's a lame mess. (5.0/10 - Mid, But Almost Alright) Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/31/24 Full Review Raven W A boring movie with a boring plot and an annoying Koala that made me fall asleep.
