New Zealand's only animated, feature length film. Not just based upon Murray Ball's highly popular comic strip, but directed by him. For those familiar with the character, this film should entertain with new material. For those unfamiliar, it is a wonderfully animated introduction to Dog, Wal, and all the characters that inhabit their world. "Will Wal become an All Black? Will Cooch recover his stolen Stag? Will Dog win your hearts and funnybones?" Make sure you see this one.
