*"Thriller" playing in the background as Skeleton army rises up, spewing up "humor"* "Pirates of the Caribbean!" "I thought no Disney jokes." Me: *Banging my head against the wall* French narrator: Later... *A moose prances around, farting non-stop* Me: *banging my head against the wall again* MAKE IT STOP!!!!

Fun fact: Doogal himself is not a dog. He is in fact a centipede. Each hair is actually a leg with a tiny foot on the end.

Butch Hartman said the hardest part about re-writing the movie was that it was already animated, and all the dialogue he wrote had to match the mouths of the already animated characters.

I saw this in theaters unfortunately. Even as a kid I went "This is the worst kids' movie ever."

Doogal -- *_Top 10 Most Powerful Chracters Who Can Beat Thanos Within One Second_*

Yeah, I rewatched the original European version of the film on DVD last week and, while it still has a few minor problems, it’s still MILES better than this version.

I loved the original The Magic Roundabout so much. Being British, this film was so good and such a classic because I grew up with the original show. I can’t believe they actually created an American version of this🤦‍♀️

9:38 Funny you say that. There's actually an interview with Jon Stewart about him working on this film where he said "Harvey asked me to be in this movie, and I fear him like everyone" and Stewart's response (half-joking) was "yes, please don't kill me."

Doogal looks more like a sentient wig than an actual dog.

Imagine the Fortnite, Frozen, Vaping reference they would have if it was made today Edit: and enchanto

It’s so weird to see doogal and classic in the same title.

*I thought we said no Disney jokes*

I actually saw this movie as a little kid in theatres (I live in Florida so I got the American version). I had a huge fear of skeletons so that scene with the skeletons was terrifying for 6 year old me. I tried to find this movie for years and only recently did I learn that EVERYONE HATED IT

Does anyone else think that AniMat should actually review the original UK version?

Now we just need Nostalgia Critic and Saberspark to review this.

I can't believe I liked this dog shit as a kid.

The next classic review is Rock-A-Doodle

9:22. To be fair, Bill Hader was the only American actor that actually felt like he was trying to give a good performance

3:30 Wait a second. The Shining, Thriller, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and Pirates of the Caribbean all within a few seconds of each other? WHAT IS THIS WITCHCRAFT?

Yep I'm convinced, Weinstein is pretty much the LJN of animated films. What LJN was to making crappy games, Weinstein was to screwing over with animation

I just found out that Michael from Elf is actually the voice of Doogal in the American dub save my soul

Harvey Weinstein is a monster in both animation and in real life.

7:39 did you know that in the original,Dylan says “Yeah,it starts with some sweets,man! Maybe an ice bun. And before you know it,you’re on two bags a day!! I know,man! I’ve been through it!” Now doesn’t that sound more like a drug addiction than this version?

Funny thing about this film was that it was featured in the 2006 movie, Big Nothing, starring David Schwimmer and Simon Pegg (with an American accent). During a scene where Schwimmer is trying to avoid getting in trouble with a cop who is searching around the house, the cop comes across a TV playing this movie and is laughing at it, saying that he likes the movie. That's just sad.

The best part of Dougal was in his fight scenes. It was absolutely hilarious to see him floundering around trying to fight before inevitably fallling over and catching fire either due to arena hazards or the house robots. No, wait, that's Robot Wars. Sorry, my bad.

"I do not want another single pop cultural reference out of you."

Animat finally reviewed doogal!!!! My life is complete!!!!

When I was young I freaking LOVED this movie. I would want to rewatch it all the time, and my parents did not enjoy it. I have no idea why I loved the movie so much, it genuinely baffles me.

Oh boy, "Rock-A-Doodle" is next! Once that music kicked in when he read the card, I knew right away what it was.

I still can't believe the creator of " the fairly odd parents" was involved in this.

I usually assume that to Americanize something means to make it crass, stupid and terrible. By the way Matt, Britain and France are Western countries too!

Kevin Smith voices the moose as a huge favor, however in the UK cut the moose and the train never talks

So they didn’t even animate this movie and took it from the UK? Now that’s really lazy of the Weinstien company, and what makes the American version of this worse is that one of its writers was none other than Butch Hartman, yeah that’s right, the creator of Fairly Odd Parents, Danny Phantom, Tuff Puppy, and Bunsen is a Beast, was one of the writers for this lame Americanized version of The Magic Roundabout Movie EDIT: now I actually feel bad for Butch now that I’ve found out (thanks to the people who replied) that he actually wrote a different version of the script to stay true to the original movie, but unfortunately the company rejected and rewrote it their way

Apart from the candy addiction thing mentioned, the only things I remember about this movie was the snail yelling “Charge!” really slowly and then “Run Away!” really slowly and that it got its own ICEE flavor that was available at that cookie place you see at the mall(I don’t know why I can’t remember the name. I loved that place as a kid and still do).

This review is better than the actual movie itself!

So, A Don Bluth Movie, involving a singing Roster and the late Glen Campbell.

Genuinely one of the worst movies I've ever seen (I'd give the original version around a 6/10)

Rock-a-Doogal

Animat : Zebedee is just the generic father-figure at the place. Jambareeqi : So you have chosen death!☠️☠️☠️

Doogal or Doonotgal that is the question.

I'm just listening to audio, and suddenly i'm like "Hey! That's ELO!"

The reason why Dougal/Doogal/Pollux has no visible legs is because in stop motion he would have been easier to animate with very long hair which would make it no need for legs

You should review Dougal and the Blue Cat in the future. It's the 1972 film of The Magic Roundabout TV series. It even has my idol, Fenella Fielding, as the voice of the Blue Queen, the only time original UK narrator Eric Thompson called in another person to voice a character. (He voiced all the characters in the TV series)

0:59 And, "Where The Dead Go To Die", Don't forget Labby.

Okay, the fire and ice moustache fight sounds awesome

Anybody here saw the rebeltaxi video on Doogal.

Would you consider reviewing the real magic round about as well to show how much better it is when a film isn't ruined by dubbing.

This is how deadly plastic can be.

Any particular reason they made Doogal a kid in the US version? That voice difference is really freaking me out! XD

And the next review is the beginning of the downfall of Don Bluth

They also got rid of Doogal’s Voice from the trailer, & replaced it with a kid actor for the whole movie. The actor from the trailer has these voice clips. Doogle: The fearless warrior couldn’t make it today, so I came instead. Doogle: No he can’t. Fine, I broke the fall with my face. OH, AYE!

If Doogal turned out this bad, just imagine what it would've been like if Weinstein had actually managed to cut Princess Mononoke x_x

I’m so glad that I grew up with the light years better UK version

At least they kept the Magic Roundabout theme from the original movie!

When I was little I had bunch of VHS tapes with cartoons recorded from TV. The Magic Roundabout with Polish dub was one of them. II still have some memories of it, but when years I saw posters and other stuff promoting 2005 movie, I did not recognised it was adaptation of this old show until some time later.

lol at the poop emoji on the animat seal of garbage.

The real way to spell Doogal is D O U G A L.

I actually even remember seeing commercials for this train wreck and even though I had never seen the Magic Roundabout series, even I could tell this was a mess and it was just annoying to hear their voices in the commercials, also the “jokes” and “pop culture references” are very poorly dated that it honestly has me think of the “How do ya do, fellow young kids?” scene over and over again with this American dub of the movie(not saying English because well it already was in English in its original British version) Least Harvey Weinstein is out so maybe animated films will be sparred from his touch as well(though at least Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli showed they were not to be messed with when he was thinking about cutting scenes from the English dub of “Princess Mononoke”, I wonder if he still has that note that says “No Cuts” and the katana that came with it, where basically it was both Ghibli and Miyazaki’s way of saying “Oh, you want to make cuts to the movie? How bout you start by making cuts TO YOURSELF?”) Least GKids and Shout Factory have way more respect for classic and modern foreign animated films and don’t try to make it hip and fresh for the young kids or viewers in general

1:52-1:55-The footage matches the narration

The UK version was good me being British Robbie Williams I used to like as dougal

I agree with his rating, this is just awful.

Wow. What a piece of *Poogal!* See what I did there?

I remember accidentally going into the theater room that was playing this.

"Pirates of the carribian" "I said no disney jokes" I laughed at that because it was so bad

Jimmy Fallon deserves better!!

Doogal is really a disgrace to the original film and tv series where it was based of. I bet the original creators of the tv series hates this version. I even feel sorry for Butch Hartman for rewriting this garbage. He made really good cartoons, but this was his worst work that he had to suffer. I should stick to the original version. Next up is Rock a Doodle

You should review Jimmy Neutron and Barnyard.

As a kid, I love Doogal. Now I look back and I’m like “what was I thinking?”

No one: Random skeleton in the movie: *pirates of the Caribbean*

He dislikes it more than A Troll in Central Park and Pebble and the Penguin?

When the movie was starting i went to the restroom then after it I saw curious George with my dad instead of doogal

I honestly thought this was a fever dream wtf

Oh my god this movie *does* exist, I thought it was just a fever dream

I agree with you completely. I watched this movie when I was about 13 and that was a time when I practically liked anything that I saw and I hated this. Good review, Mat! Also, the next review is Rock-A-Doodle. Good luck, Mat.

I used to watch the original Magic Roundabout on Pinwheel back in the 80s. I love Doogle, so when this movie came out I was excited. And then I saw it. I was so angry. I'm still angry. 😡

HOLY SHIET i thought that movie was just a dream in my child mind

At least Florence and zebedee are the only characters in this who don’t make pop culture references

So now comes the next question: how would you rate the European adaptation? For me it would be the following: Story: 7/10 Animation: 5/10 Characters: 6/10 Final Verdict: 6.5/10

This film is like a feature-length gag dub, but written by film executives and not funny in the slightest. Now the original film isn't a classic, but at least it had some character development during the course of the events. I think that this originally had a short playing before it, which was funnier than the film itself, plus a small bit where Doogal talks to the narrator before the film starts, but those were probably before the home video release.

I enjoy this movie for 2 different reasons 1) nostalgia 2) in a so bad it’s good way

So THAT'S why I thought the voices sounded different Its because it isnt the original move Trust me the original movie isnt oversaturated with pop culture references On top of that my favourite character in the original is Dylan just because his voice along with his quotes and personality go so well together

If you guys wanna see an Americanized dub of a foreign property that’s actually done WELL, I’d recommend the Ghost Stories dub. Sure, it’s raunchy and a bit repetitive, but at least the voice actors actually acted like they CARED about the project! P.S. It’s pretty unbelievable that you consider Rock a Doodle worse than A Troll in Central Park. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see. 🤷‍♀️

6:36 Pre Last Airbender

As a child I really enjoyed dougal and it was one of my earliest introductions to the over used The bad guy vs the good guy. Almost like a gandalf vs sauron or whatever

I've been waiting for this

I'm really glad I didn't see this in theaters, but the weird thing is when I saw the original trailer Doogal sounds like a grown man, and that this has different versions.

I was waiting for you to review this movie forever, now you finally do! Has Christmas come early?!

Now I know I was a dumb kid, because I used to like this movie

Oh no, did Nintendo ripped off Doogal with ARMS???? Find out on Game Theory -- Pan Pizza of Rebeltaxi

This movie was buried deep down in my memory and nearly forgotten that it ever existed

16:40 this American dub in a nutshell.

I was watching the history of hanna barbara and then realized it was a decade old so i wanted to see if you're still uploading to KZfaq

Animation Hat Requests: Case Closed: The Time Bombed Skyscraper Kiki’s Delivery Service Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us Your Name A Silent Voice Mirai My Hero Academia Two Heroes

I always thought that "Doogal" was just underated, but I didn't think it was one of the worst animated films ever made. Also when I first saw the trailer for this film in the DVD opening of "The Reef", Doogal sounded like he was voiced by a young man. When I took a glance at the actual movie, Doogal's voice sounded like a child. I feel so robbed.

Yay it’s here!

Why didn't the Weinstein Company just import The Magic Roundabout as is and have a British celebrity that could be recognized by Americans introduce the audience to the larger series before the movie started? That seems like it would've been the better option.

I loved this movie as a kid And almost had forgotten about it

Well thanks for digging this out of the depths of my repressed memory.

It doesn’t help that Tom Baker of Dr Who Star is in the film, But in the UK version.

This is the best review from you.
