PC edits has this going back!.......2007-07-22

After reading some reviews of this set before opening the box, I decided with the other reviewer that I wont sponser editing classic shows such as this for the political correctness of the day. Lost sale for Sony! What a farse.

Mr. Magoo is ruined!.......2007-06-23

Why did somebody have to go and change Charlie's voice in some of the cartoons in this set? His new voice makes him sound like an English butler, which is completely ridiculous, considering Charlie is Chinese! The original voice of Charlie made the cartoons even funnier, and now with this voice overdub, much of the humor is lost. Everything has to be censored and politically correct these days, and I'm sick of it! Why tamper with a classic like Mr. Magoo?

Mr. Magoo Is As Good As I Remember.......2007-06-13

I loved this cartoon as a child. The silly and innocent humor are as great as I remembered them to be. The DVD combines many hours of fun & enjoyment onto a single source.

Mr. Magoo, the 1960-62 seasons........2007-05-13

My first complaint is, the DVD set took two years to be released.
I heard talk about it, I read review after review, but, no DVDs.

Then, on all the discs, on each opening credit, I keep seeing 1960 in
roman numerals, what's up with that? This DVD set, from the very beginning was advertised as 1964-65.

This is the whole 1960-62 syndicated season on the 4 DVDs?
My guess is yes. It'll be great if they can release the
"Famous Adventures Of Mr. Magoo" 1964-65.

As for the voice over on Charlie, it seems to be original on some of them, and not on all of the episodes. The new voice-overs make Charlie pronounce words almost perfectly, that's not realistic.

Keep in mind, it's a cartoon, it was the 60s. This should have
been in it's original form.

All that said, I think it's better than nothing. Most of it is original and intact, such as music and the other voices-overs.

I say buy it for the original parts.

Just Like Old Times.......2007-05-13

As a child I remember this Christmas special growing up. Now the new DVD version of this 1962 special is coming. I can hardly wait to receive the copy. This is a delightful animated feature with Magoo's re-enactment of the Dickens classic with some wonderful music too!! If you have not seen this in a while, maybe you should order a copy of this family Christmas favorite. I am writing this in late August and it's not too early to wish you "Merry Christmas"!

CLASSIC.......2007-08-04

Brings back alot of memerios when I was a kid watching with my dad. Now I watch it with my son who likes it.

Christmas Carol.......2007-04-05

I love the Christmas Carol and Mr. Magoo brings back beautiful memories of my childhood.

I've seen numerous Christmas Carol movies this is one of the best.

Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol.......2007-03-29

I have loved this movie since I was a teenager. I watched it every holiday season with my mother and now my daughter watches it with me.

Moving...Memorable...and Music that will haunt you..........2007-02-27

Dicken's story has been retold dozens (if not hundreds) of times, and it's always interesting to see what is emphasized and what is left out. This version is one of the shorter (and therefore more suitable for small children). But the bare bones of the story have been fleshed out by a score that is so memorable and moving that I'm amazed Broadway hasn't taken notice.

It's also a seminal version of the story--many current animators have referenced this production. (I would be very much surprised if Genndy Tartakovsky has never seen it, for instance.) This influence is a tribute to the power the film has over anyone who saw it in childhood.

An added treat is the gorgeous singing voice of Jack Cassidy (known to fans of "Columbo" as one of the two "three-time" villains, and to fans of "The Partridge Family" as the father of David), and the presence of famed Disney (and Boris Badenov!) voice-actor Paul Frees, who contributes the voices of several characters.

I originally wrote about this film on Amazon when only the VHS version was available. What a thrill it is to now own this excellent DVD, which will be subjected to many, many viewings in the years to come.

You just can't beat Mr. Magoo!!.......2007-01-16

For us old timers, Mr. Magoo is timeless. This was the best Christmas present I have given myelf! It was a joy to see my grandchildren's faces, as they watched animation at it's earliest, and loved it. They were so thrilled with it, they called me when it came on television later in the Christmas season, to make sure I got to see it again. You just can't beat Mr. Magoo!

Someone got the rather inspired (but ultimately misguided) idea to match Hong Kong action director Stanley Tong with comedy stalwart Leslie Nielsen in this dimwitted live-action Disney version of the vintage cartoon, in which the very nearsighted tycoon bumbles his way into the heist of a giant, priceless ruby known as the Star of Kuristan. The result is an abundance of slapstick humor related to Mr. Magoo's visual impairment (prompting a brief protest during the film's 1997 release by the National Federation of the Blind), and a tired plot involving a lovely jewel thief (Kelly Lynch) who'll stop at nothing to get her stolen jewel back. Of course, Magoo manages to foil the thieves at every turn, even though he's frequently unaware of his unintentional heroics. This standard family fare from Disney (best suited for kids 12 and under) will probably play better on home video, but you'll have to watch and listen closely for the few gags that really pay off. --Jeff Shannon

Description

In the outrageous tradition of SPY HARD and THE NAKED GUN, zany big-screen funnyman Leslie Nielsen brings MR. MAGOO hysterically to life in this wild and wacky comedy hit! It's a screamingly funny adventure full of laughs ... and danger! Nonstop comic chaos ensues when Mr. Magoo becomes the target of a notorious and ruthless band of international jewel thieves.

MAGOO is the entertaining comedy that has everyone howling!

Customer Reviews:

Mr Magoofy.......2007-08-03

This is the worst Disney movie, I have ever seen Leslie Neilson star in. He must have been very hard up for money to take this role.

If you get the chance to spend your dollars on this . Please just throw the money in the trashcan.

GREAT CONDITION AND FAST.......2007-07-05

This item arrived way ahead of time and in great condition and it was new like it said and played purfect. I appreciate this kind of fast service

A Funny and Amusing Tale! Leslie Nielsen shines!.......2007-05-01

Mr. Magoo is based on the old TV show about a VERY near-sighted man who always gets into trouble but always manages to squeeze out of it without realizing the danger he's in.
Leslie Neilsen plays Mr. Quincy Magoo, an actor and museum owner. When a jewel is stolen from his museum and he's the prime suspect, Mr. Magoo and his nephew go on a wild quest to get it back, a quest that will take you from the U.S. to Brazil, and many more places. On the way, Magoo is tricked by the jewel theif, a cunning woman named Luanne LeSeur, who will stop it nothing to get the jewel back (and who also happens to kill all of her male accomplices). Along the way, Magoo will ski on an ironing board, mistakingly sandpaper a ckicken, and disguise himself as a Brazilian gangster.
This film is made for kids, but adults will love it too. If you watch Mr. Magoo, get ready for action, suspense, slapstick humor, and laugh-out-loud jokes. It's a comedy the whole family will enjoy!

Laughts for the whole family.......2006-07-21

If you liked the classic cartoon Mr. Magoo you and the family will enjoy this funny movie. Leslie Nielsen plays the part of Magoo just great. He is funny like in his other comedy hits. He sure gets in a mess and danger being near sigted.
This is a good picture the kids will enjoy too.

Not necessarily excellent.......2003-02-20

This was basically your average comedy movie. First half wasn't very funny; second have was hilarious. First of all, Leslie Nielsen plays a great Quincy Magoo, acting like he is blind, and all. Angus, the dog, is a pretty good part, too, though some of the gags near the beginning with Angus didn't really hit the spot. Some jokes hilarious, for example, the chicken scene. Only poor Mr. Magoo could end up sandpapering a boiling chicken!

The other acting wasn't that great, unfortunately. If the other actors hadn't acted like it was so much of a drama, and treated it more like a comedy, it could've turned out a little better. I would recommend this for lovers of comedy.

Recommended for ages 6 and up. Rated PG for mild language (hardly noticeable) and some action sequences.

Amazon.com

This 1962 special marked the last hurrah of Mr. Magoo, who starred in 43 cartoon shorts, including two Oscar® winners, from the UPA Studio between 1949 and 1959. Magoo appears as Scrooge in a Broadway production of "A Christmas Carol" in this minimally animated hour. The play-within-the-show features forgettable songs by Jules Styne and Bob Merrill: Tiny Tim ("played" by the animated character Gerald McBoing-Boing) sings, oddly, of "razzle berry dressing" and "woofle jelly cake." This retelling of Dickens's holiday standard is much tamer than Richard Williams's Oscar-winning adaptation: the ghosts aren't scary, nor does Magoo confront the specters of Ignorance and Want. Small children who might be frightened by more dramatic versions of the story will enjoy this mild program. And the self-satisfied chuckles and bromides Jim Backus gives Magoo in his lighter moments remain as delightful as ever. This film is suitable for ages 6 and older. --Charles Solomon

An Instant Classic.......2007-07-01

I used to watch this version of "A Christmas Carol" when I was a kid, and it has remained my favorite. I had to purchase the DVD for my collection when it became available. Many thumbs up!

child-like wonderment.......2006-12-27

I saw this when it was first released. I was just about ten years old. It was wonderful! I knew the story already, but this version brought it to life in a most wonderful way. I still watch it, every year. I know the songs by heart. I love musicals, such as The Music Man, and The Sound of Music, and South Pacific. This story is so much more fun with the music. I never really liked the Mr Magoo stuff until this came out, and it is one of my favorite video performances of all time! Any child, of any age, will find it non-threatening and yet will understand the message and characters quite well, and take them to heart. That includes adult children. God Bless us, every one!

A "Carol" That Really Sings.......2006-10-21

"Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol" manages, in the short space of one
hour, to accomplish what every trumped-up, phony Hollywood version
of Dickens's immortal story has failed to do: communicate the theme
of the tale and all of it's poignant emotion with immense charm,
fun, and artistry. Even after all these years, it still works --
and wonderfully. It reminds us that an adaptation can be true
to its source and still be creative and vastly enjoyable
on its own terms. I do not know how they managed it, but everyone
involved should be applauded and thanked for bringing this fine
production to life. As Tiny Tim would say "God bless them, every one."

A joyous holiday classic with plenty of razzleberry dressing...........2006-08-07

This delightful animated film brings together the cranky, vision challenged Mr. Magoo, voiced by the wonderful Jim Backus, together with Charles Dicken's beloved literary masterpiece, "A Christmas Carol."

What's so special about this DVD is for those who grew up with it as a kid, we probably never saw the whole thing as TV would inevitably cut it up for commercials. The introduction of Magoo racing to make the curtain call may not have anything to do with the Christmas parable, however it's great fun to finally see it uncut and restored here. Overall the film print is good and the extras include a Magoo bonus short along with information on the song and music composers Jule Styne and Bob Merrill, who composed show tunes for Broadway and beyond.

Treat yourself and your family to this one around the holidays. Yes, there are almost too many versions of Scrooge and company to go around, however this may be one of the most enjoyable and unique renditions ever created.

A Christmas Carol Far More Glorious Than Grand.......2006-07-14

"Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol" is simply the finest film realization ever, animated or live, of Charles Dickens' wonderful and wondrous tale. Sheer magic, astonishing beauty of song and story, deeply loving, profoundly moving. If you have a heart that has been broken but yet capable of hearing the most exquisite whisperings of that which makes life not just good but even mystical, not just sweet but even sacred, then this film is your film, this story is your story, and its songs sing beauty and comfort to you even in your night of most inward darkness. And the song at the film's center and heart, "Winter Was Warm," sung by a woman with the voice of love itself, is perhaps the greatest song of lost and yearning love ever recorded. A thousand "Bravos" and profoundest gratitude to all who worked to create this magnificent masterpiece of the storyteller's art--this journey from bleakest tragedy to utter exaltation.

A Big Disappointment.......2004-04-09

The cartoons included in this DVD are the last and worst of the Mr. Magoo series. Even small children seem to have no interest in them.

Oh Magoo, you've done it again!!!.......2004-03-28

Why did it take this long for one of the greatest animation shows over the last 55 yrs to make it to DVD? WHATS NEW MR. MAGOO is the last set of Magoo cartoons that ran in 1977. This dvd features 6 of those classic episodes and is nothing short than a must have masterpiece. Non stop laughter and the warm feeling from head to toe that Magoo always delivers. Sony Wonder has put Magoo back on the map. Keep the episodes comming!!!! Would be great to see some of the older episodes too. 5 STARS ALL THE WAY.Oh Magoo,you've done it again!!!

I loved this! This is exactly what I remembered as a kid on TV. The same theme song, same Mr Magoo voice etc. I can't wait for all esisodes to come out.

Buyer beware! Not classic Magoo.......2005-08-30

I purchased this item at a retail outlet, and was dismayed to find upon playing it that it is several episodes of a dismal 1977 TV series. Unless the buyer is familiar with the series title "What's New, Mr. Magoo," one would have no idea that it was part of that lame effort -- there is no indication on the package that this was made for TV. The 1977 copyright date is the only clue. Don't waste your money on this!
