About Bilby

On a sunbaked stretch of Australia, a shy bilby makes his home in a burrow and keeps to the margins of danger. Daily threats come from hostile neighbors, fierce heat, and scarce water, yet he survives by wit and caution. When a helpless baby bird winds up in his territory, the shy marsupial becomes an unlikely guardian, driven to protect his new charge even as the desert tests both of them. What follows is a story of unexpected friendship, creative problem solving, and small victories against overwhelming odds. The duo learns to trust one another, turning rough landscapes into stages for courage, humor, and acts of care.

Directed by JP Sans, Bilby is built from an original concept by Pierre Perifel Liron Topaz and Harry Cripps; Dee Bradley Baker voices Baby Albatross and David P Smith voices Bilby.

Audience reception emphasizes warmth, humor, and a focus on responsibility. The film blends lively animal antics with gentle drama, inviting viewers to consider courage, cooperation, and the power of unlikely friendships in the face of a harsh environment.

Bilby fits into a wave of Australian wildlife animation that highlights desert habitats and native creatures. It offers memorable moments that can spark curiosity about the Outback and its resilience, appealing to families and fans of light hearted adventures.
