Back to the Outback (2021)

In the claustrophobic confines of a reptile house, where they are subjected to the relentless scrutiny of human eyes, a motley crew of Australia's most lethal creatures yearn for freedom. They're seen as monsters, but they dream of a place where their scales and fangs are not objects of horror but tokens of survival. Maddie, a venomous snake with a spirit as warm as the Outback sun, devises a daring plan to escape the zoo and return to the wild expanses of the Outback, where they can finally be themselves. Joining her in this audacious quest are Zoe, a Thorny Devil lizard who exudes confidence, Frank, a hairy spider nursing a broken heart, and Nigel, a scorpion whose sensitivity runs as deep as his sting. Their plan, however, takes a comedic twist when Pretty Boy, an adorable yet insufferable koala, unwittingly becomes part of their escape. Despite their initial reluctance, Maddie and her gang find themselves saddled with the charming troublemaker as they embark on their journey. Their road trip across Australia is a whirlwind of excitement, danger, and uproarious laughter. Hot on their heels is Chaz, the zealous zookeeper, and his eager mini-me, turning their escape into a thrilling chase. This is more than just a journey across the arid landscapes and lush greenery of Australia; it's a wild ride to self-acceptance, camaraderie, and the freedom to be their true, wild selves. The Outback beckons, and these unlikely heroes won't stop until they're back to where they belong.
