Thank God
I was able to see this film (the UK one) last night, and all I can say is THANK GOD. I saw Doogal the other week or so on TiVo and it lived up to the hype. The hype of sucking I should say. I thought it was such a shame, because it looked like such a cute movie, but it was ruined by such a crap script. I came here to IMDb and found out that Doogal was a redub, and went on a quest to find The Magic Roundabout. So, thank God I found it, and saw it, and discovered what's really a very cute, good movie. I think the American redub is a cinematic crime and I hate that it was made. -_-
I only wish the TV show would come to DVD. Even only on Region 2 would be fine, I have a multiregion player (yeah I'm American). Or even a French release with the English dub available. I know that the episodes were only like 5 minutes long, but The Trap Door made it to DVD, so can TMR. I caught a couple eps on YouTube and its SO cute. There's just so little info on the individual eps online. If I could get ahold of more of the show I'd love to make a fansite for it, and the movie. And I hear there was a TMR movie a while back with a blue cat as the villain, I'd like to see that too.
In any case, know what my favorite bit was? When after Zeebad was re-imprisoned in the roundabout, and so now everyone knows he's in there, the kids are all "Yay a roundabout with an evil entity trapped inside! Let's go plaaaaaaaaay on it! :DDDD"
I kept waiting for someone to yell at Zebadee for never telling them there was an evil dude inside the carousel they were letting their kids play on everyday, seriously. :) Zeebad was created for this film, right? I mean, he was never mentioned in the series or anything beforehand was he? I'd assume not.
