Koala Brothers

The Koala Brothers, I assume that they are Koalas that are brothers? Let's crack this one open and see!

First off, the theme song is awesome. Of course, it is Australian. I love the ol' didgeridoo. 

The episode starts with George, who is tortoise postman. His whole life revolves around shoving envelopes in mail boxes. 

I am going to go out on a limb and say he is slow.

George stops to take a rest. It looks like he is drinking coffee in the outback. Why would you do that? It is hot. Hot and hot don't work, George.

A platypus named Alice, who rides on a scooter approaches George. She asks is she can have her mail? But, being the good mail tortoise he is, explains that he like to only deliver to mailboxes and not when you ask him. But he will cave in this one time. 

I ship them.

With the distraction of pretty female platypus, George forgot to put the lid tightly on his thermos. Oh no, the mail is getting all soggy.

Meanwhile with the main characters, Frank and Buster, they're washing down the homestead. They even have their friend Ned the wombat helping. Buster gently takes the young Ned under the sheets they were folding. While making sweet inter-species love, they manage to get foot prints all over the sheet. It must washed again. 

Frank knows what he is witnessing. 

Our old friend George arrives with the Koala Brothers' mail. He reaches in his magical sack of mail goodness and discovers all the mail is drenched. He then tried to lie about it but, failed.

The brothers come up with the scheme to post the mail up with their love sheet to dry. They hand over the mail to Ned and offer George some tea. 

Meanwhile, Frank and Ned begin to peg the mail on the line.  

The group sit on the porch waiting for the mail to dry. All the while with George groaning about being a dummy.

Time to make tortoise soup.

The mail eventually dries. But, oops there is a problem. The ink on the letters is all smeared and unreadable. Some weird creature named Mitzi points out that a postcard is from some penguin named Penny that lives in the South Pole. Apparently, she sends a postcard to the brothers every week. It must be their's.

Wikied it, she's a Pussom. 

In which an Australian Possum is so much cuter then an American Opossum

They start to search for clue on the other pieces of formally soaked mail. A package falls off the line that is both bouncy and squishy. Frank insists he knows who's it is. But he doesn't tell us.

Meanwhile, over at the ye ol' watering hole a crocodile name Archie and kangaroo named Josie are waiting to play tennis. (Wait, shouldn't they be playing hunter and the hunted?) They are missing their ball. 

George and the brothers arrive, Archie runs up and nearly tackles the poor turtle for his ball, which he is expecting in the mail. 

(And to note he has the same voice as my beloved Edward, The Blue Engine. My love Edward, haunts me in this blog also. *Yes, I do know he the same actor does other voices on this show. But this is the Edward voice Damn it.*)

Holy shit, if a crocodile ran towards me, I would at least try to run.

In town, the brothers and George ponder who a little box belongs to? Frank starts to shake the box and a ringing sound come out of it. 

Just then a echidna named Sammy pops out of his shop to grab some food out of the back of his truck. The trio decide to ask him. 

While popping into his store to ask Sammy if the box is his, they scare the shit out him. Turns out his door bell is broken.

He should try out for The Wiggles. He is making fruit salad.

George hands over the package and proudly declares he saved the day. 

They now only have one letter left. They are puzzled since this one is clueless. The Koala Brothers decide that George will have to break the law and open the letter in front of the whole town.

To George, going to jail.

The town gathers for the big event. George hesitatingly opens the letter. And it looks like it is for him. George has won a major award for "Best Postman In The Outback". 

George makes a speech on how won't spill tea anymore on the mail and accepts his award.

I feel totally validated.

So, George learns that everyone makes mistakes and to tighten that thermos. 

This show was actually pretty enjoyable. I loved the stop motion and the characters themselves where pretty enjoyable. I would give this show, 5 Bindi Irwins.
