Joey

Joey (1997) is an Australian family adventure you can watch online on iFILM. Twelve-year-old Billy lives on a ranch in the outback, surrounded by animals — and his closest companion is a baby kangaroo named Joey.

When poachers take Joey's parents away, Billy doesn't wait for an adult to fix it. He and the young kangaroo slip onto a train bound for Sydney and set off on an unplanned rescue mission. Directed by Ian Barry and featuring Rebecca Gibney and Ruth Cracknell, the film runs on real landscapes and live animals rather than digital effects — a slower pace than modern children's cinema, but one that earns its ending honestly.
