This feature film was made and released about three years after the Australian TV series Skippy (1968) was first broadcast.
This 'Skippy, the Bush Kangaroo' theatrical picture was a spin-off from the successful Australian TV series of Skippy (1968).
This movie was filmed during October and November of 1968.
This is the only theatrical film about Skippy the Bush Kangaroo.
Apparently, after this movie finished playing in two of Australia's capital cities of Sydney and Melbourne, the theaters were demolished. The cinemas were the Palace Theatre and the Paris Theatre respectively.
