Are you ready for a fun adventure? Let’s dive into the world of Back to the Outback, a movie about some amazing animals from Australia who want to show everyone that they’re not scary at all!
Maddie is a snake with a big heart. She dreams of being loved and seen as beautiful. But there’s one tiny problem—she’s a Taipan, which is one of the most dangerous snakes in the world! Even though people are scared of her, Maddie just wants to make friends.
Joining Maddie on her journey are her friends Zoe, Frank, Nigel, and Pretty Boy. Let’s get to know them!
Zoe is a thorny devil lizard who is super confident and doesn’t take any nonsense. She has cool spikes all over her body. Did you know that thorny devils can puff up to look bigger and drink water through their spikes? How awesome is that!
Frank is a funnel-web spider who loves to dance. Male funnel-web spiders usually hang out alone, but Frank is lucky to have his friends. Female funnel-web spiders sometimes live in groups called colonies.
Nigel is a scorpion who can be a bit needy. Scorpions in the Australian desert dig deep holes to stay cool. They like to be left alone, but they can get grumpy if bothered!
Pretty Boy is a koala who thinks he’s the best. He’s cute and cuddly, but he can be a little full of himself. Most koalas love to nap and munch on eucalyptus leaves instead of going on wild adventures.
These cool characters go on a hilarious adventure across Australia in Back to the Outback. You can watch their exciting journey on Netflix. Don’t miss out on the fun!

Guys, charge! I imagined that playing out differently in my mind. Ready for an adventure? This is *Back to the Outback*.
*Back to the Outback* is a movie about some of Australia’s unique creatures who are tired of being seen as scary. Now show them that beautiful smile.
Leading the group is Maddie, a snake with a heart of gold. She’s tired of having people run in fear at the very sight of her and just wants to be loved and considered beautiful. The only problem is she’s a Taipan, one of the deadliest snakes in the world.
Joining Maddie on her adventure are her friends, Zoe, Frank, and Nigel. Oh, and Pretty Boy tags along too.
This is Zoe, a self-assured thorny devil lizard who won’t put up with any nonsense. Look at all those spikes! Thorny devils can inflate their chests to appear much bigger and are really good at freezing in one place. They also drink water through their spikes.
Speaking of impressive, meet Frank, a funnel-web spider with a passion for dance. While male funnel-web spiders are often found alone, female funnel-webs are sometimes found in colonies. Luckily, Frank has a good group of pals to keep him company, like Nigel, an extremely sensitive scorpion.
Nigel can be very needy. Some scorpions that live in the deserts of Australia hide from the heat by digging deep burrows. While they prefer to keep their distance, some can get pretty aggressive when provoked.
Joining the gang, mostly by necessity, is Pretty Boy, the self-absorbed koala. He’s cute, cuddly, and irresistible, that is, until he opens his mouth.
Did you know? Most koalas are actually pretty laid back. They typically prefer napping and chewing on eucalyptus leaves over going on big adventures.
There you have it! That’s everything you need to know about these charming characters. Don’t miss this band of misfits’ hilarious adventure across Australia in *Back to the Outback*, only on Netflix.
