Dot and Keeto

Continuing the bush adventures of Ethel Pedley's much-loved characters, Dot and Keeto tells the tale of a young girl and her grand affi nity to nature in the greater Australian wilderness.
　　Dot’s love of all creatures great and small even extends to insects. Her good deeds in rescuing a mosquito and a dragonfly from a spider’s web finally pay off after she accidentally eats a magic root that shrinks her to insect size. The diminutive Dot is alone and afraid amongst the ‘huge’ terrifying ants and spiders in her garden. But Keeto the mosquito and a friendly character named Butterwalk the caterpillar come to her rescue.
　　When Dot accidentally eats a magic root and shrinks to the size of an insect, she is suddenly alone in a world of giant creatures and overwhelming bushland. But her previous good deeds in rescuing a helpless mosquito and dragonfly from the peril of a spider's web guarantee Dot two very reliable and helpful friends. With the aid of Keeto the mosquito, Butterwalk the caterpillar and a surprise visit from an old friend Dot sets out on a grand adventure to discover a way to return to her original size.
　　A unique blend of live action photography and cel animation from award-winning filmmaker Yoram Gross (Blinky Bill) featuring a string of lively musical numbers, Dot and Keeto is a larger-than-life journey into Australia's wonderfully mysterious micro-environment.
