Narrated by Magda Szubanski, this one-hour documentary is a warm, witty, affectionate and definitive look at one of Australia's most cherished TV stars, Skippy the bush kangaroo.

Everybody remembers Skippy. The family show about the kid and the kangaroo that was sold in 128 countries, watched by hundreds of millions worldwide and put Australia firmly on the global map. For those of a certain generation, the heroic marsupial is synonymous with their childhood, often in more profound ways than they realise...

The film is both a tribute to the forward-thinking and hard-working souls who created the ground-breaking series, and also an analysis of how they did it, and what it meant for all those millions of viewers around the world.

Skippy: Australia's First Super Star also pays appropriate homage to the millions of viewers around the world who enjoyed the show each week, by talking to members of the public in the street about their memories and stories of Skippy.

Fast, fun, entertaining, and undoubtedly nostalgic, the film leaves the viewer laughing, crying and ultimately realising the importance of a TV series that finally showed Australian stories could, and did, find a worldwide audience.
