The Woodlies Movie

The Woodlies Movie

Funny, fast and furry – the Woodlies are returning to the Seven Network in The Woodlies Movie on Saturday February 16 2013 at 11.00am. A special feature-length episode rounding off the animated series which aired on the Seven Network in 2012, The Woodlies Movie is a lively and fun animated adventure for 6-12 year olds.

The Woodlies – made up of Curious Nineeyes, fearless Firehead and gentle Sevenpoints - are small troll-like creatures who live in harmony alongside us human -uglies'. They notice their tummies begin to rumble at the onset of autumn and set forth to scavenge food from the nearby camp ground. But in a nearby swamp, a menacing gang of Woodlies called -Swamp Rats' also have food on their mind...and will stop at nothing to take what's not rightfully theirs.

The Woodlies soon find themselves disbanded, lost and on the menu of various predators who hungrily await to eat Woodlie for tea! What ensures is a battle for survival in the depths of a harsh winter - but not without plenty of comic difficulty at every turn!

A tale of tolerance and survival, The Woodlies Movie uniquely combines traditional storytelling methods with a stylish, painterly quality of animation developed by the cream of Australia's creative talent, including the director, animation director and episodic directors who brought the world Happy Feet and Legend of the Guardians and features a predominantly Australian voice-cast.
