| "Adventure has a new name and it's NAPOLEON"
A precocious 10-week-old Golden Retriever puppy called Muffin lives in the city, but dreams of being a brave explorer. So when he gets his chance to escape his suburban backyard in a helium-powered balloon basket, Muffin hops on board, changes his name to Napoleon and sets off on the adventure of a lifetime. During his magical journey across the wild Australian Outback he meets some very special friends - Birdo, a chatty parrot, a wise owl, a clever koala and more. But fun isn't all that Napoleon discovers on his quest for adventure... he also learns more about the world - and himself - than he ever thought possible. Featuring a host of delightful songs, this charming tale that teaches valuable lessons is a wonderful treat the whole family will love! (Source: freely adapted from video & DVD covers)IMPORTANT NOTE FOR US READERS - The version of the movie available on the US market is most likely NOT the one featuring Philip Quast in the "role" of Birdo. The original movie has indeed been dubbed by a totally different cast to suit American audiences (?!) In the US version the Birdo is played by Bronson Pinchot. |

The musical score from the movie has charming music (5 songs and 10 score tracks) by Bill Conti. Philip Quast sings two songs: 'A Wild Dog' and 'My Hills to Climb' with his co-star, Jamie Croft.
