The Wild Adventures of Blinky Bill tells the brand-new stories of a true Australian icon. Blinky Bill is one of Australia's most recognized characters, based on a children’s book from the 1930s and starring in a 2D animated series from the mid-90s. In August 2015 the newly produced CGI animated movie Blinky Bill was released to cinemas in Australia and the new CGI series The Wild Adventures of Blinky Bill will follow in 2016/17. In all his adventures 11-year-old Blinky Bill shows cheeky overconfidence and a knack for mischief. He is always accompanied by his thrill seeking, highly strung but loyal sidekick Jacko. Together they take on all the challenges and threats to protect their home and help the citizens of their outback town. Exaggerated in his wild imagination, Blinky turns the simplest of challenges into an epic adventure. The series is produced by Flying Bark Productions in association with Telegael and Giant Wheel.
