The 1992 film followed Blinky and his friend Nutsy as they navigated the destruction of their forest home, eventually finding safety and family with the help of friends like Marcia the marsupial mouse and Splodge the kangaroo. With a memorable score by Guy Gross, the film spawned multiple television series and reboots, resulting in Blinky Bill being seen in more than 70 countries worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003eIssue Series:\u003c\/b\u003e Kids' Showtime Greats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003eOriginal Author:\u003c\/b\u003e Dorothy Wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003eProduction Limit:\u003c\/b\u003e 3,000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eCondition Note\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eAs this item is now two years old, please be aware that the cover may exhibit light wear consistent with careful handling and storage.
