Skippy: Adventures in Bushtown: Skippy Saves Bushtown (VHS)

About

Skippy, the well loved and world famous kangaroo, has more adventures than ever in his own animated feature.

Skippy stars as Bushtown's intrepid Park Ranger, determined to foil the evil schemes of Mayor Croco, a double dealing crocodile.

A FULL-LENGTH FEATURE SPECIAL

At the opening of a new national park the old mayor of Bushtown announces his retirement and in the ensuing elections, Croco, the town garbage collector, is inadvertently elected mayor. Only interested in money and not the welfare of the citizens, Croco and his vain, ambitious wife Suka quickly install themselves in the mayoral residence.

It is not long before Skippy and his friends, TV reporter Matilda, her cameraman Pos and the inventor Angus McPouch realise that the outrageous mayor and his first lady will go to all manner of selfish and corrupt schemes to satisfy their own desires. When Suka excessively redecorates, Croco slams an extra tax on furniture; when, despite her terrible voice, the first lady wants to be a star, Croco exploits the talents of a young singer; when Croco decides he wants an opera house he threatens to drain the home of an almost extinct Kissing Frog to build it; and when he organises the "kidnapping" of Suka to gain sympathy he demands the citizens to pay the ransom.

But for every dastardly deed Croco and Suka can hatch, Skippy and Matilda stay one step ahead to save the day for Bushtown.
