Arkie lives with her father Blister, a giant octopus, on the Peninsula. They help plants recover from the loss of electricity that affects them. Meanwhile in the City of Light, Dr. Maybee is precisely using this electricity for his experiments: he also needs octopuses to help him recreate his lost daughter. Chihoohoo and his team, as well as Bunniguru and his Egg, go to Peninsula in search of a giant octopus for which they were promised a reward.
The Guardian gave the film 2 stars out of 5[1] as did The Sydney Morning Herald, stating, that "the finished product seems to have come out back to front, too convoluted for under-5s and too tame for anyone else. The celebrity voice actors convey goodwill rather than conviction, as if reading aloud on Play School: Sam Neill as ruthless scientist Dr Maybee is appropriately sonorous, but not really much of a threat."[2] A review at The Conversation praised visual aspects of the film and its message: "Filled with fantastical world-building, character and creature design, the Scarygirl universe mimics our concern for the natural world and the need for human-nature connection."[3] The film received various awards.[4]
