Tourism Australia releases 'Come and say g'day' film

A toy unicorn named Louie and a stuffed kangaroo called Ruby forge an unlikely friendship as they make their way around Australia to see the sights.

Louie, who bills himself as a magical unicorn, helps Ruby out of her souvenir packaging. They visit a series of destinations such as Uluru, Sydney Opera House and the Great Barrier Reef.

Along the way, the pair travel on a boat, a bus and in a hat along a river, where they accidentally get caught downstream and head towards a waterfall. The live-action film was directed by Michael Gracey (who also directed The Greatest Showman) through Finch.
