Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to announce that following minutes of rigorous research, I have located The Best Wombat Movie Ever Been Made! Three solid minutes of pudgy, adorable wombat! If you enjoyed such classics as Gone With the Wombat, The Maltese Wombat, and The Wombat On the River Kwai, then you must see… The Best Wombat Movie Ever Been Made! Coming soon to this theater!
I, for one, think this film truly lives up to all the hype. The crunching! The snuffling! The furry, sleepy eyelids! The moment when the wombat suddenly thinks, “Wait … is someone watching me? Oh never mind.” Gripping entertainment. Can’t wait for the sequel.
The Best Wombat Movie Ever Been Made! Coming soon to this theater! You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. It will change your life!
for the better? 🙂
Butt of course! ?
That wombat butt was really cute.
A star is born! I especially liked the wombat butt at “the end.” Loving Wombat Wednesdays.
The suspense as he began the turn – “Don’t DO it” we all cry but he’s a tough little wombat and he prevailed – uh, in The End.
Is that a wombutt, then?
?
I was afraid we might get a demonstration of that cube construction…
? Ooh, that would’ve been interesting.
Where’s David Attenborough for riviting description.
Hee, hee.
In a world of portentous hillocks and winds, where even a wombat cannot dine unobserved, the need for sustenance persists, as dramatically depicted in Splendor In The Grass: Starring Natalie Wombat and Warren Hamster Dog.
Personally I found similarities to Wuthering Heights. But Miss Wombat’s performance outshone any referential depiction of previous actresses brooding amongst the moors.
Remember Month Python’s version of Wuthering Heights in semaphore???
This is the best one I found, Wuthering Heights starts at 1:04.
All it’s doing is buffering for some reason. (remember the race between Anacin and Bufferin?)
Oh, good, it’s working now. Thanks, GiGi.
The book was better? There’s a movie about a wombat eating a book? I would totally drive 30 miles to the megaplex to see that in IMAX.
Ha!
What about Wombatorama?
I’m waiting for The Wombat Of The Baskervilles.
Wombatman and Robin.
I see what you did there.
This is even better than ‘Star Wombats Episode IV: A New Hope’!
Definitely the best scenery since A Wombat Runs Through It.
More like “A Wombat Chews Through It”.
Excuse me, but I was promised “three solid minutes” of wombat. This film was only two minutes and fifty-seven seconds! I demand a refund!!!
Now I want to stop at the bookstore and see if they have Diary of a Wombat in stock.
Also, did anyone else want to reach in and pick off the bit of grass or whatever that was stuck to his forehead? Where’s the makeup department?!
OMG I actually hit the screen with my hand!
:-}
For my money, no wombat movie beats The Bride of Wombatstein.
This pudgy guy looks part bear. Or is he extra-fluffed up for winter?
Assuming he’s in his native Australia, it’s summer there.
I thought to myself, “Hey! It’s snowing on that wombat! How seasonal!” before I realized that it’s only snowing on Cutetropolis.
It was the art direction that did it for me. The wombat fur was the same texture as the grass and the bushes, and the same color as the bushes. An austere vision of a wombat alone.
Very Ingmar Bergmaanwombatstromnesque.
LOL, I was mentally searching for “Bergman” but couldn’t come up with it – thank you! 😀
?
I give this film four stars for having a wombat in it, minus three stars for not remotely living up to its hype. No snorgling, no interspecies interaction, no babies, no wombat zoomies …
But it has a wombat in it, so: One star.
Eleventy-hundred stars for Mike’s intro, though.
110% on Rotten Kiwis.
How about “Mortal Wombat”?!
So full of WIN!!!!
FLAWLESS VICTORY!
Perfect!!
Excellent!
