Production notes

Puppet animation.

The lovable Koala Brothers are a couple of cuddly koalas who, together with their friends Ned the wombat and Mitzi the possum, patrol the skies of the Australian outback looking for people to help. Flying around in their sunny yellow plane, they're never far from a friend in need.
