Aussie films and television series have entertained generations of children around the world.

The much-loved character of Blinky Bill originated in a series of books created in the 1930s by New Zealand–born author and illustrator Dorothy Wall. The 1992 feature film Blinky Bill: The Mischievous Koala was directed and produced by Yoram Gross. As in Dot and the Kangaroo, the animation is superimposed against live-action scenery. The music was composed by Yoram Gross’s son Guy Gross, with song lyrics by John Palmer and Mattie Porges.

Blinky Bill is a cheeky little koala whose peaceful and happy way of life in the Australian bush is destroyed when humans arrive and start clearing the forest. The animals must flee and, in the chaos, Blinky’s mother goes missing. Blinky sets out to find her, accompanied by his friend Nutsy. During their quest they see the felled trees that were once their homes being reduced to sawdust at the woodchip mill. Other animals who help Blinky and Nutsy include Marcia the marsupial mouse, Jacko the kookaburra and Splodge the kangaroo.

The film’s popularity led to three seasons of an animated television series: The Adventures of Blinky Bill (1993), Blinky Bill’s Extraordinary Excursion (1995) and Blinky Bill (2004), as well as a television movie, Blinky Bill’s White Christmas (2005), featuring a theme song, ‘Christmas in Australia’, composed by Guy Gross and performed by Christine Anu. All were produced by Yoram Gross. Later there followed a CGI reboot television series The Wild Adventures of Blinky Bill (2011–18) and feature film Blinky Bill the Movie (2015). Blinky Bill in these various productions has been seen in more than 70 countries.
