The Outback

---

Of all the

continents on the planet ...

There is none quite like...

Australia.

And it vast,

dramatic wilderness called ...

The Outback.

Where its majestic

Uluru Mountains ...

and treacherous Bongle Bongles ...

And lush eucalyptus forests ...

create a wonderful home

for those that belong.

Hey guys, what's the problem?

The problem is we don't

like freaky white koala.

Yeah, what are you?

Some kind of midget polar bear...

... or new type of cotton ball?

You know, you shouldn't

judge a bear by its fur.

I mean, I'm just like you.

You ain't nothing like us.

Because you don't look like us.

You don't look like

anyone around here.

So why don't you

make like a leaf and leave?

Look at that rare and white koala.

Higgens, we finally found that

golden ticket back to the carnival.

Oooh.

They are right!

I ain't belong here!

Hey, what are

you doing, little bear?

Who are you?

My name is Hamish. And this is

my dim-witted assistant Higgens.

Well ...

I'm just trying to look normal

like the other koala bears.

Oh, that's not the

way to get you life.

What I mean, kid ...

it is the thing that

makes you different

could just be the thing

that makes you right.

Different, huh?

You mean freak.

What if I told you there is a place

for special little fellas just like you?

Really?

Oh sure!

What's your name, kid?

- I'm Johnny.

- Johnny?

Johnny the amazing Albino Koala!

I love it.

So what do I have to do?

Just be yourself.

But I've tried it!

Hey, Lug?

Five more minutes, mom.

Come on, get up you big lizard!

Rise and shine!

- Who said that?

- Hamish.

Didn't I just kicked you

and your monkey out of here?

A mistake ...

I am willing to forgive.

- See, we can make a deal.

- What are you talking about, Hamish?

I'm talking about me, bringing you

the biggest act at Hippy's Carnival.

What? Is the monkey

going to light himself on fire?

No monkey, no fire.

Just ... him.

Alright, Hamish.

Booth 17.

And stay out of the Big Top.

Okay.

Let's go, kid.

Your fans await.

Where are we going?

Take a look!

Ta-da!

Welcome to the carnival, kid.

Wah!

- What is that over there?

- Well, that's the Big Top.

The main attraction.

Awesome.

- Whoa!

- You bet it's too awesome.

But ... we are actually

headed this way.

Freak show?

First, the freak show

And then the Big Top.

But I don't want

to be in a freak show.

You'll love it!

Trust me.

Hamish!

Everything here is so weird.

Don't you agree?

Think... unique and unique sells.

Now come and take

a look at your new home.

I'm not doing this.

Do you want to get back

to the bush and get bullied?

No!

They gonna love you here.

Are you sure they'll like me?

Course, they will.

Go on, kid.

Do your thing.

I don't know Hamish,

it's not even a real tree.

Go on.

Oh look, Papa,

a white koala bear.

I want to see!

Oh my. Isn't she adorable!

He is incredible!

And blazing white!

They like me.

What did I tell you!

We want to hang a monkey

take our picture with it!

Everyone loves Johnny!

How do you like

the carnival now, kid?

Sure feels like I fit

in much better here.

Come to the Big Top

and see how the amazing

"Wild Bushman" conquer

the outback single handedly!

Let's go there!

No !!!!

What happened?

Where did everybody go?

Oh, don't worry, kid.

They'll be back.

- It's gonna be okay.

- Yeah, right.

Come on, Johnny.

We will make an even bigger show!

I'm gonna go see

the "Wild Bushman".

Ah Johnny, this is a very bad idea.

Ladies and Gentlemen!

Boy and girls!

Come join us here!

Hold it!

Come on, this way.

- Why are we going this way?

- We don't want Lug to see us.

Oh! Doesn't he like us?

Okay, okay, I'm going!

We'd like to introduce to

you to a man so different ...

he's looked death in

the eyes at last with Tiki!

A man so filled with courage! He's

made the lions and tigers run and hide.

The roughest, toughest human

being from here to Sri Lanka,

the real dude with mass appeal.

The Wild Bushman!

Good day, mates!

Wow!

Now, let's have some fun.

It may be hard to believe!

But "The Wild Bushman"

was once a skinny little lad.

Whom the girls never talk to

and bullies used to pick on.

He realized something very

important at an early age.

Monsters may strike

from all directions!

But a true hero never gives up!

- Wow.

- What showmanship!

You know I wouldn't keep

the 10% of that action.

The guy is really good ...

Johnny!

Powder Puff?

- Hamish! Help me!

- Higgens! Do something!

You're the monkey.

Swing in there!

Higgens!

No!

No worries, little guy.

I've got you.

That's it!

I told you stay out of the Big Top!

You don't even deserve

a booth in the freak show.

Lug.

Maybe.

- We can fix their show.

- Powder Puff show is over!

No one cares about a white koala!

Don't even think

about a new show, baby.

I was really starting

to like being in a show

Johnny, do not,

I repeat, do not listen

to that overgrown lizard.

We are going to get our show back.

You're a super freak!

The cannibal's lucky to have you!

- Yeah, sure ... whatever.

- That attitude won't get you anywhere.

You need to believe in yourself.

Come on. Tell me.

What do you want to do?

I just want to fit in.

I wish people like me

for who I am.

I wish I was ... like him!

Now, why can't you be?

You'd be an animal action adventurer.

Like a Wild Bushman, but with claws.

We might even

make it to the Big Top.

Hamish.

I'm not an action adventurer.

Smoke and mirrors, kid.

Smoke and mirrors.

It doesn't matter what you can be.

It only matters what

they think you can do.

And we gonna have PR.

Still we need lots of pictures

of Johnny being heroic.

Let's get a fight with

Johnny taking on Crocodile.

With TOs!

- Hamish!

- Cute and cuddly makes totally fearless!

Everyone will think you're a hero!

Now come on, Johnny.

Look like a hero.

I'm a hero.

Well, we can work on that.

You look good.

Hold on, kid!

Johnny ... the latch!

It's coming undone!

You have to push

the red spiky lever!

Push the what?

Now!

No way!

I can't do it!

- Yes, you can!

- I'm not going to push that!

Johnny!

Push the lever!

- No!

- Johnny, give it a push!

Are you crazy!

Grab it Johnny!

That's coming fast!

Johnny, you should

have pulled that lever.

Yeah. I know.

What are we gonna do now?

We ought to get

back to the carnival.

The Carnival's next stop is...

Precipice Lake.

Where is there, then?

Um, it's this way I think.

- No ... No, it's this way.

- We're lost and you won't admit it.

No. Maybe a little bit lost,

Johnny, but mostly not lost.

Mostly not lost.

Well that's good.

We'll just find that on the map.

Wait for me!

Thirsty.

Hey! Get off!

Back off!

Where did it go?

Let go off me!

Oh no, no, no ...

Wow, look at all that water.

Indeed.

I know, Higgens.

I see it, too.

I know Higgens!

Get him!

Hold your ground!

Ready!

Fire!

Fire! Fire! Fire!

Mac?

Are you okay?

Uhh, I'll be alright.

Bog controls all the

water in this billabong!
