Wombling Free is a 1977 British film adaptation of the children's television series The Wombles.^[1] Directed by Lionel Jeffries, it stars The Wombles, David Tomlinson, Frances de la Tour, and Bonnie Langford.

According to critic Noel Crown, "Wombling Free might have appeared a safe investment, given the popularity of the books, TV series, novelty pop group, and associated merchandise, but was universally received with hostility."^[2]
