The Koala Brothers - Characters

Characters

All characters in the show, with the notable exceptions of Archie and Penny (the latter whom only communicates through penguin-like noises) speak in Austrailian accents in all but the American dub in which certain characters are given American accents.

  • Frank the Koala is the pilot of the plane. He has demonstrated excellent skills in tennis and was the only member of the community able to defeat Archie, though he admitted it was probably just luck. He also fostered an interest in pottery at one point but did not have any great artistic ability.
  • Buster the Koala sits behind Frank in their plane and uses his telescope to spot friends in need from the air. He is always willing to provide a pep talk or a hug to his friends. He speaks more softly than Frank and has a small tuft of hair on the top of his head. Buster loves to bake, especially butter cookies.
  • Mitzi the Possum She often wears sandals and thick-rimmed glasses. She lives next door near the Koala's house and she is a very nervous character who relies on the koala brothers to keep in line with her perfectionist tendencies. In the American dub she sports a Southern-American accent.
  • Ned the Wombat is apparently the youngest member of the local community and lives in a caravan next door to the Koala Brothers' homestead. He is often unsure of himself, but he dreams of adventure as an explorer or a sea captain. He is very determined, and easily fixated on an idea.
  • George the Tortoise is the local mail carrier. He has no known residence but is always seen delivering the mail with his trusty leather satchel. He is very proud of being a mail carrier and tells the best campfire stories in the outback. He also has an interest in stamp collecting.
  • Sammy the Echidna lives in town and owns the local general store, which sells fuel in addition to comestibles. His sole employee is Josie. He has the least amount of problems, after the Koala Brothers.
  • Josie the Kangaroo works at the general store and is great friends with Mitzi. She once tried to jump rope., but failed due to her big feet getting in the way. in the American dub she has an American accent.
  • Alice the Platypus works at the local cafe and appears to be the sole employee, though it is not clear if she owns the cafe. She is very forgetful. She rides a green motor-scooter around, which has its share of drastic engine problems. She loves to bake and is good at following recipes. She is also good at reading maps. In the US dub, she is voiced with a '60's hippie lingo.
  • Archie the Crocodile lives in a well-appointed cottage near the local water hole. He is always exercising, stretching, or playing tennis, and is renowned at being the best at almost every sport. He is British, and has an upper-crust demeanor.
  • Penny the Penguin is an explorer who lives in Antarctica, but has visited the outback on occasions and keeps up a regular written correspondence with the Koala Brothers. She doesn't talk, but she communicates by chattering like a penguin.
  • Lolly the Emu is the local ice cream vendor and can often be seen driving her ice cream truck around. She greets people by saying "Hi, darling(s). What can I do for you today?" She often calls people "darling" or "hon".

Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    Thus we may define the real as that whose characters are independent of what anybody may think them to be.
    Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

    His leanings were strictly lyrical, descriptions of nature and emotions came to him with surprising facility, but on the other hand he had a lot of trouble with routine items, such as, for instance, the opening and closing of doors, or shaking hands when there were numerous characters in a room, and one person or two persons saluted many people.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    Socialist writers are made of sterner stuff than those who only let their characters steeplechase through trouble in order to come out first in the happy ending of moral uplift.
    Christina Stead (1902–1983)
