The moral is clear as day to any kid, though plenty of adults could use the reminder: Never judge any creature by the way they look. And, for animation devotees, the lesson is the same: Never judge a cute animated offering by its platform.

However generic this movie is in premise, there is wit to be found in its details, and warmth in its message.

Ignore the 10 star rating. This movie deserves 11/10 stars, I loved this movie.

Back to the outbacks Vibrant and enchanting with a brilliant message. The soundtrack was very fitting. There were some incredulous moments, but also very forgivable in the grand scheme of things. If only this was a Disney animation so that it could gain popularity. Perfect for children and thrilling for adults.

It’s formulaic, but good clean fun. And it’s a fair dinkum way for the kiddos to learn Oz wildlife and Oz slang in a cartoon.

The problem here is a recurring one with recent family entertainment and it's how little there is below the repetitive surface. Jokes are recycled with alarming regularity, and most of the supporting characters outside of Maddie fall flat.

The aesthetic of the animation is, like the script, rather nondescript, with boilerplate-looking gloss and shine – like any number of less memorable DreamWorks or Pixar productions

Back to the outback has some major problems like the abuse of dumb humour or the fact that only three of the characters in the group has charm (Nigel and Frank are just so forgettable, easily one of the worst companions i ever seen in a movie, they could just dont be there and the movie wouldnt change anything). But its good messages really saves the movie. Maddie especially is a very good protagonist, and is the best developed character in the movie by far, and i like how two humans in the movie dont see the animals as "pure evil", but this really remains unexploited and is still very forced in the movie (along with many other forced situations only for doing bad dumb humour like the use of a rocket launcher only to stop some animals). Also, the main villain is horrible. Is impressive how unbalanced he is. He risk the life of he´s son only to chase some dangerous animals and later he forgives them only for saving their life. Overall, while is a very flawed movie with tons of filler and dumb/forced situations, characters like Maddie, Zoe and Pretty Boy saved the whole movie thanks to its unique charm.
