Dot and the Koala is a 1985 Australian animated film by Yoram Gross.
Dot comes to the aid of her native animal friends, when Bruce the koala tells her of plans to build a massive dam that will destroy their environment, but the local farm animals believe that the creation of the dam will catapult their small country town into the 21st Century. With both sides fighting for what they believe is right, Dot's plans to wipe out the dam are jeopardized by the mayor Percy, a pig and local detectives Sherlock Bones the rat and his offsider, Watson the cat.
Dot and the Koala debuted in the United States on The Disney Channel on February 1, 1987. Dot and the Koala and four other Yoram Gross films were released on VHS by Family Home Entertainment under license from Cori Films Distributors, Ltd.
