Hang on.  You can suspend your disbelief enough to allow for talking animals... but you can't handle the accent?  I think you should more concerned that the damn koala is talking in the first place.

The Cockney and Scouser accents make me laugh (in a good way).  I love the Geordie accent but it doesn't appear in many movies  So I guess I will have to go for the Yorkshire accent.  Now if you had said the UK I would definitely go for Scottish.

He is small and torch is big. It gives a sense of the Koala doing something major is all. It is about perception.

It is the rubber kangaroo, Kangaroous rubberii, found in those areas of Australia in which rubber trees owned by B.F. Goodrich are grown to make rubber for tires made in Akron.\n\nThis mascot has been very controversial since the early 1970s because of the environmental depredation caused by the Kangaroous rubberii feeding on B.F. Goodrich plantations.  Controversial control measures have included poisioning, shooting, and sterilizing the 'roos.  All have failed and the Kangaroous rubberii is now spreading throughout Oz, much to the chagrin of BFG.

No man, they don't. To them it is whiny. It might be different if they didn't hear it all the time on TV and in movies. Now most western english speaking countries are desensitized to the American accent...it has lost its novelty. Quite the opposite for the pomes and ozzies when they come to the states. Man, what a pantydropper that is. Just not fair.

Which kind of accent are you trying to evolve into. I believe John Travolta's accent in that movie is actually very Americanized so you've actually to decide first whether u really want that kind of accent or something more British, or Irish, or Aussie, or Mexicano....."Be specific, Bob!"\n\nLastly I would love to break your spirits and say you cant really get the accent unless you go to the place itself and in Phenomenon I think its...um...Texas (?) or some country, and stay there for some time long enough to blend with the local people and live like how they live and talk like how they talk. Otherwise, you can still choose to become a media journalist and work for CNN. They're the multinational guys out there who, no matter what their face or color look like, they seem to have come from the same country I dont know which.

Seems like it's Indonesian. I found an on-line translator & here's the result: Has the bang arrived in Australia?\nDoesn't sound too reliable, but it's a start :)

So far it is in Mandarin and Japanese. It has been entered into the 78th Academy Awards. For whatever reason audience members left the final scene during the Berlin International Film Festival

In the movie, it was a female Cairn terrier. However, in L. Frank Baum's 1900 fantasy story The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the breed was unspecified.

There was an english animated movie based on the tv show 'the magic roundabout' i havent seen the british version but watched with my kids lately 'doogal' which is the american re-hash of the same film just with 'american celebrities' dubbing the voices instead of the original british cast.\n\nI read somewhere that they butchered the british version and most of the story was lost by changing so many things, no wonder it did poorly in the box office, but then funny enough something like borat, which you would think americans wouldnt get has no remake or dubbing.

Don't remember it being mentioned anywhere ...\n\nBut his accent seems to be loosely modelled on Cary Grant's (no, seriously - listen to it) ...\n\n... so I'd have to guess Southern England.

Well as there are several different British accents, it's difficult to answer that. The stereotypical English accent(Queen's English) is annoying. That's the one that sounds like they've got a stick up their butt and who seem to talk down to people. But, being English, I can't say I'm too incensed with any of the British accents. I like some Irish accents though!(scottish accents are horrible!)
