Many of the films, television series and books that we love as children stay with us for our entire lives. Decades after we first discover them, they can still fill us with nostalgia for our early years, and inspire us to share them with the next generation of young people. Children’s programs produced in Australia, particularly those featuring native animals, have been remarkably successful both at home and abroad. Some originated in their movie or television format, while others are based on books that entertained us, our parents, and even our grandparents.
