European spirits in Australian rain forest?

Because it's an American film?

Also hmm, I'd heard comparisons before, but never actually seen or heard of the actual film, so I read the plot summary. That is really not the same (even magic aside, plus the completely different ending) other than the extremely vague 'person who didn't care about anything before realises what he's doing and changes sides' which is an EXTREMELY old storyline in one form or another.

It is partly Australian (for example it had an Australian producer and involved was an Australian studio).

One can hope that someone one day wll make some beautiful films from Patricia Wrightsons Wirrun books. These books are about a young Aboriginal man who experiences a lot of exciting adventures among native Austrailan spirits of Nature.

Oh, thank you SO MUCH for these recs - I'll certainly keep my eye out. More things set in my country, with the original cultures, yes please!
