Matilda the boxing kangaroo movie montage
Plot summary
A small-time talent agent discovers an amazing female boxing kangaroo and figures to use it as his stepping-stone into the big time by having it compete with a human pugilist.
Cast
Production
The film was budgeted at $5.2 Million. Producer Al Ruddy explained that "we debated over using both a real kangaroo and an actor in costume and opted for the latter as cross-cutting proved too jarring for the viewer. However the costume was a $30,000 investment that paid off as it not only allowed freedom of movement, but we were able to program it with transistors to allow us to direct the actor's tiniest gesture." Critic Tom Allen wrote in The Village Voice that "Matilda is worked by a person in a fur suit and fixed mask. ... The technicians do not even get the ears to wiggle and the mouth to pucker until the final minutes."
