Info

Adventures of the Little Koala is an anime TV series produced by Tohokushinsha Film Corporation. It aired originally in Japan on TV Tokyo from October 4, 1984 through March 28, 1985, and then aired in the United States on Nickelodeon dubbed in English from June 1, 1987 until April 2, 1993. It also aired in Greece, Italy, France, the United Kingdom, in the Arabic-speaking world and other countries, but its biggest success by far was in the United States on Nickelodeon. Production of the English and French versions of the series was done by the Canadian studio Cinar Films. The storyline revolved around Roo-bear Koala and his friends in a utopian village. The series takes place in Australia, with the village being located in the shadow of The Breadknife. Including different types of animal creatures in the daily life of the village was likely meant to demonstrate the virtues of pluralism and diversity.

Adventures of the Little Koala Audience Reviews

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Angel Meiru I have first seen this show on Nickeloden years back, and it definetly caught my attention. It was a cute show, but not sickning cute, which is good. And it deals with things like "Conflict", "Diversity" and "Using your imagination", without being so PC and preachy too! Unlike most stuff in this era.Then at Korean school, I saw the ORIGINAL Korean dialogue version of it, and I still fell in love with it. I like the Korean dialogue alot more and the soundtrack seems more upbeat and catchy.But either way, it is reccomended, no matter if it is in English, Korean or Japanese.
Joseph Anthony Sobora The Adventures of the Little Koala was definely the show that took koala bears family including other animals in very mysterious adventures. Not only that, this was the show that first launched the whole Nick Jr. block along with Maple Town, as well as other show that keep running like The Mysterious Cities of Gold, Pinwheel, and more back in 1987.The show focused on the family and friends of Roobear, the title koala, as they learned weekly life lessons. Roobear lived with his parents, Mommy and Papa, and his little sister, Laura. The playful marsupial also had friends aplenty: Pamie and Nick, the penguins; Floppy and Mimi, two rabbits; Betty, another koala; Walter the kangaroo; Duckbill, a platypus; Kiwi, a kiwi bird; Miss Lewis, a reporter; and of course a mysterious cat in a brown coat with a brown hat and a blue mitt named Weather.Of course, not all the animals could enjoy peaceful company, and the bane of Roobear's existence were the Dead End Kid kangaroos-Walter, Colt and Horsie. They were the bullies of this magical world, and though they were drawn in the same endearing children's book illustration style, they provided the edge to stir up trouble.A Japanese import of all kind, The Adventures of the Little Koala made Nickelodeon a thing of the past. The next year has brought us another Koala show called Noozles which was also a very cute show.I definely remember that show, it was my childhood memories I grew up with especially for Nickelodeon. During the last showing in 1993, I really miss this show but then after 8 years ago, I found an older print of the show on video at my local video store. I was so happy, I had to buy it so I can see this wonderful show just like I have watched it when I was a little kid. It really was one of the first shows I have discovered Japanese Animation known as anime. >From Tohokishinsha Animation. A Cinar Production in association with Viacom International Inc. Joe's Rating: 4 stars.
renaldo and clara I remember that as a kid I didn't admit to watching this, probably because I was already 7 when it had just come out and thought it was for ages toddler to 5 ys. or the agegroup defined today as the "Nick Jr. crowd". Although this was the case, there were themes aimed at older children, themes preschoolers wouldn't have understood. Like both Rubear's and the troublemaker's (forget his name)longstanding crush on that other female koala Betty, and one episode I remember clearly, when that troublemaker called the female penguin's character chubby and she started running and became anorexic and passed out. Weather-the wise grown-up(cat?) who always hid his mouth with a scarf (and always had a little pet squirrel on his shoulder)used a metaphor of red balloons-blowing one up halfway and the other all the way, and asked the girl penguin which one looked nicer..that episode really stuck out... ....Which brings me to Weather. His name was Weather, though he didn't talk about the weather, just gave a lot of great advice. As weird as it sounds I've always had a crush on Weather and think his character should be involved in a spinoff of some sort!... Finally, this show marks when I first noticed the dramatic power of animation ...that it could be drawn and directed to convey emotion..it introduced me to animae, which I later became very fond of. I believe <The Adventures of the Little Koala> was also the introduction for many children of my age in the United States to Asian animation.
dootuss I can't believe I'm the only one who remembers this show! It used to be on Nickelodeon back in the day during the network's good old days. It was about this koala named Roo bear who would go on all these adventures with his friends or family. There was an assortment of characters mainly bunny rabbits, a walrus, a bear i think, and even an old timer who knew what the weather would be like the next day. Pure classic. This show was one of the many shows that began the Nickelodeon block Nick Jr. back in the 1980's. They should bring this one back for the little ones.
