You'll be happy to hear WOMBLING FREE finally has a U.S. DVD release through Scorpion Releasing. I don't think there's any special features though, but it does have a nice transfer.
Yeah this movie of The Wombles isn't really as close to the source material at the fact that Wombles prefer to keep themselves to themselves which is why they hide from humans in the first place
I was around in the 1970's and i never ever knew this film ever existed, ive not seen it on tv, nobody ever has mentioned it, so it was obviously a flop!
If the film WAS a Flop then Kenny Baker (one of the people whom played The Wombles in that film) wouldn't be R2D2 and Bonnie Langford wouldn't be a future female accomplice of The Doctor
Just to redress the balance, David Tomlinson actually lived till 2000, a good 23 years after the release of the film.
Very nice find. I didn't even know there was a trailer for this movie.

Is that David Jason narrating the trailer?
My copy is in Beta. I need to get it converted so I can watch at will.
0:33. Good old David Tomlinson.
Their first adventure.
Well, the film did well in the Uk
here in the US is pretty much obscure as is The Wombles themselves unfortunately
