Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Bilbies are real endangered marsupials; this was DreamWorks' love letter to Australian conservation. The short was originally a feature film test that got scrapped.
Dee Bradley Baker (Baby Albatross) also voiced Perry the Platypus—meaning he's now played two iconic voiceless animated animals.
