Review Girl & kangaroo
This is an attractively animated series, and looks to be a fairly low-key adventure. There is a huge amount of background detail: tents ships, animals, aboriginies, woods, etc. It's not without humour, especially in the facial expressions. Lucy looks about six or seven; her older sister has a better character design.
A typical scene: the two girls are sleeping in a barrel when a kangaroo hops up and has a look at them. Cue baffled looking kangaroo and scared little girl.
The Polish edition used the Japanese episodes, with the Japanese dialogue partially overdubbed in Polish; but for some reason the Japanese text of the credits has been removed, which is why the screen for the end credit sequence is mostly blank!
