BLINKY BILL: THE MOVIE * (Theatrical Release USA 2015)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 2.8|5.0 Starsìì

Blinky Bill: The Movie despite the sweet introduction of the Koala Bear does not quite manage the good entertainment rating due to likeness to other stories, weak characterization, and shortness of storyline. It needs ‘fleshing out’ and addition of ‘something new added’ in order to be a really good watch.
