Wombling Free

Based on the popular BBC children’s series, this film charts the adventures of the Wombles, those furry and lovable litter-pickers of Wimbledon Common. Only seen by those who believe in them, their work goes largely unnoticed until a young girl, Kim, spots them and their worthwhile purpose. As she invites them to her birthday party, her mother is forced to believe as she comes face to face with Orinoco, Tobermory and the rest. A public meeting is set to prove to the local population that the Wombles do exist and should be aided in their anti-rubbish campaign. But on the day in question, a storm breaks out over the Common. Will the inhabitants of Wimbledon actually be able to see their cuddly crusaders? With David Tomlinson, Frances de la Tour and Bonnie Langford and featuring the voices of Jon Pertwee, David Jason and Lionel Jeffries.
