Footrot Flats: The Dog's Tale
In 1986 Footrot Flats: The Dog’s (Tail) Tale and its theme song ‘Slice of Heaven’ were huge hits in New Zealand and Australia. The adaptation of Murray Ball’s beloved Footrot Flats comic strip marked Aotearoa’s first animated feature. There were a lot of big questions to answer: Will Wal become an All Black? Will Cooch recover his stolen stag? Will the Dog win your hearts and funny bones? Punters answered at the box office
