It was then later released in Australia on the 19th June 2004 at the Sydney Film Festival and shown again on the 21st July 2004 at the Melbourne International Film Festival.
In terms of the success of the film with reviewers and critics, after wining 13 AFI awards in the same year of its release it is needless to say the film was largely successful.
Source: http://www.afc.gov.au/downloads/policies/short%202004%20box%20office_final.pdf As previously mentioned, to this date, Somersault has taken a total of over AUD$2 million, the second highest earning feature film in Australia in 2004, a great feat for a movie made with a relatively small budget.

 THE NEVER-TO-BE ZIPPY ANIMATED TV SERIES
When Showtime sensed that Film Roman was unable to uphold their end of the deal (a contract between all the major parties had been signed and was ready to implement--Griffith and Noomin were getting ready to relocate temporarily to L.A. to work on production), Showtime called Griffith to say they were dropping the project.
Originally, the show was to be animated by the Sunbow studio, but when finances couldn't be agreed on between Sunbow and Showtime, the show was brought to Film Roman ("The Simpsons", "King Of The Hill", etc.) which agreed to produce the show with Showtime as broadcaster.
Even though the production of the show had been announced in the Hollywood Reporter by the Film Roman execs (from New Delhi, India, of all places, where they'd been negotiating with a software company interested in investing in their projects), things started to unravel.

At the time and up until the 1970s, Australia had a law that allowed the government to remove Aboriginal children from their families and reestablish them in facilities were they were trained for domestic service and jobs as laborers.
More startling is the fact that after the girls made it home the first time, they were removed again and were forced to repeat their long journey home at least two more times.

 Variety.com - Reviews - Dizzee Rascal
Onstage, Rascal is closer to the titular "Boy in the Corner" of his first XL album than the "Showtime""Showtime" promised by last year's sophomore effort; on the latter album, he scorns fame almost as much as he desires it.
He is a nimble rapper (though his East London accent makes most of his lyrics unintelligible), but not especially charismatic.
For empirical evidence of the above, Dizzee Rascal's El Rey show Tuesday night was a fine place to start.

 Film Threat - Reviews
Eddie Murphy first utters the signature catchphrase "It's showtime!" within the first ten minutes of "Showtime," but audiences will spend the entire film waiting for that declaration to take root.
As good as these gags are, they feel like they are a warm-up for something bigger, better to come -- something that, alas, never comes, for the film rarely ever gets as funny as these sequences.
Credited writers Jorge Saralegui, Keith Sharon, Alfred Gough, and Miles Millar were apparently of the mind that the mere idea of the cop TV show was strong enough to carry an entire motion picture, giving little thought to the actual crime-solving angle of the buddy-cop formula to which the film so slavishly adheres.
