When Ozzie, a cute koala is kidnapped from his Australian home by two goons working for toy tycooness Max Happy, a madcap adventure begins! On a flight back to America, Ozzie escapes the clutches of the terrible two and seeks a hiding place in the backpack of a clever eight year old, who takes Ozzie to Los Angeles. With the heavies on his trail, join the hunt for Ozzie!

delighted to spend some time in New Zealand and she always enjoys a good tongue in cheek comedy role.

A review of the film from Digitally Obessed is as following...
"Although the puppet work on the Koala isn't very convincing and the movie is fairly cartoonish, the most entertaining part of the film by far, is the way over the top presentation of Max Happy by Joan Collins. She's in full on Cruella De Ville mode here, right down to the makeup and hair and Collins always one to chew scenery with a vengeance, acts the part with a crazed gutso. She is a lot of fun to watch, being allowed to run riot! On the whole, Ozzie, like its namesake, is pretty cute and the moral is solid, but isn't very laboured'' ..
'Ozzie' was available on dvd in various European countries but never got a proper dvd release in the USA or UK..
