Movie review - "Wombling Free" (1977) **

 I wasn't a bad idea to make a Wombles movie even though the TV show only went for 5 minutes - there would be songs, it had IP, the film had a point of difference. But this isn't that good. It's hard to tell the Wombles apart there's not much of a story, the main girl is annoying.Fun to see David Tomlinson though.

The movie feels a little racially dodgy with how it depicts its Japanese character. There is no real life sparking off the screen. The clean up Britain message is not exactly sublte.

However if I saw it as a kid I would love it.
