Kangaroo Valley is a 2022 nature documentary film made for Netflix, directed by Kylie Stott and written by Tab Murphy.
[1][2] Narrated by Sarah Snook, the film is a coming-of-age adventure starring a nervous baby eastern grey kangaroo named Mala as she faces hungry dingoes and winter snows to survive her first year out of pouch.
Mala's valley is home to many creatures, including the grumpy wombat Warrin, an energetic bird Willie the Wagtail, a koala, sugar gliders and many colorful parrots.
A wedge-tailed eagle threatens the joeys but the kangaroo mob is alerted to the threat by the alarm calls of the smaller birds in the valley.
[6] Johnny Loftus of Decider gave a positive review, saying "Kangaroo Valley is crisply shot, warmly told, and features a marsupial pouch full of interesting facts.
"[7] Amanda Guarragi of Ready Steady Cut praised the film's coming-of-age story, saying that is what "sets it apart from the rest of these wildlife documentaries.
