Movie Title: Doogal Doogal is available for streaming or downloading. |
The Magic Roundabout is a British television series adapted into a movie. There are three versions for the UK, France and the USA, and this one is the US version. I’ve seen both the UK and the US versions, and the US version is the better of the two, largely due to the narration of Dame Judi Dench which is not in my copy of the UK version. The UK version also uses different actors for some of the characters. (Most notably Robbie Williams and Bill Nighy)

With this kind of star power Doogal should have been a expansive movie, but somewhere along the draw it changed from a children’s yarn to an action movie spoof, thereby effectively losing both intended audiences. It has a few laughs, some catchy music and you’ll have fun picking out the pop culture and movie references, but that’s about it. Rent it for the star power, but don’t inquire of too powerful.

The history of this film is a bit confusing to me. I first knew it as a production from the people who made “Hoodwinked,” found out later that it was based off an dilapidated British stop-motion TV series, then after some research found out it was originally a French series translated into English on the BBC and now made into film. Reportedly the English fellow responsible for writing the English scripts for the display would recognize the French episodes then write in modern dialogue with his gain anecdote ideas. I mediate this was followed somewhat with this movie – more on that later.
The anecdote is centered around a gay small town with a carousel at its center. The village is led by the kind wizard Zebedee, a exclusive toy-like fellow who’s a spring from the waist down, who long ago trapped the rotten twin wizard Zeebad in the carousel. One day out title character Doogal (who is oh-so-competant) is trying to hijack a truck carrying candy when he crashes into the carousel, unleashing Zeebad into the world. With the carousel frozen and Doogal’s beloved owner trapped inside, Zebedee informs Doogal and his friends (Ermintrude the cow, Dylan the rabbit, and Brian the snail) that they have to catch three crystals from across the land to keep in the carousel to trap Zeebad forever.
OK, few points her. First off, you couldn’t establish Zeebad, one of the most uncertain wizards in the universe, in anything more stable or defensive? A simple car atomize unleashes death and destruction across the globe? Also, if these three crystals are the secret to keeping Zeebad locked up forever, why didn’t you go pick up them and retain them handy nearby in case this happened? As a matter of fact, why didn’t you go earn them and utilize them the limited you trapped Zeebad? Am I the only one who thinks about these things?
Doogal and his troupe go on their wacky, astonishing adventure, screwing up along the diagram. Seriously. These people can’t do anything proper. They allow Zeebad to pick up all the crystals, and thirty minutes in they even give him the blueprint to all the crystals. The dialogue in this particular scene is very bizarre – Zeebad is threatening Brian when Ermintrude steps in:
Ermintrude: “You mess with the snail, you mess with the cow!”
*pause*
Ermintrude: “Here’s the contrivance!”
Me: *watching the movie* “WHAT?!”
Wow, scheme to fight the villain guys. Here’s an view, unbiased capitulate and let him reign death and destruction on all your loved ones if you’re impartial going to spoonfeed the residence of the crystals to him. Again, am I the only one that thinks on these things?
Knowing what I’ve unbiased told you, you can probably second-guess what happens at the demolish, as I did thirty minutes into the movie. But really, I can’t blame the movie’s faults on the area alone, because mighty of my infuriate was towards the dialogue and characters. Remember when I mentioned the English guy added his possess dialogue in? Apparently this was also done with this movie. From what I’ve heard there was originally a British cast for this film and it was called “The Magic Roundabout,” honest to the fresh series. Except for the roles of Zebedee, the narrator, and Florence (Ian McKellen, Judi Dench, and Kylie Minogue respectively) the other characters were dubbed over. What does this secure you?
Well, it gets you Whoopi Goldberg as a wise-cracking ghetto cow. Yes, a cow named “Ermintrude” that says things like “You’re lookin’ at a diva!” and sounds like any sentence she says is going to ruin in, “Shyeeeet!” I also agree Doogal’s deny was very annoying, and to be fair it didn’t seem to fit the character – I understand now why on the TV trailers for this film you didn’t hear Doogal’s command at all. You also have Jimmy Fallon as Dylan the rabbit, and while Fallon’s a droll guy the persona he gives Dylan of a rock ‘n roll stoner seems curious and forced. In fact, you hear better, more relaxed enlighten acting from the entire cast in the bloopers at the waste. I also want to talk about Kevin Smith and the moose – I don’t know if there was originally a verbalize for the moose in the UK version, but his dialogue was the most forced…and what was with the fart jokes? Did we really need those for the moose? Seriously.
I also believe they went with plan too many liberties on the dialogue. I have a feeling that they added in a lot of stuff that wasn’t in the current film. Why, you ask? For one, the lip-syncing is off so many times it becomes unbearable – what the characters say and what the mouths study like don’t go together. Also, there were so many moments when characters didn’t even have their mouths sharp and were tranquil talking! Remember at the beginning of “Mrs. Doubtfire” when Robin Williams keeps talking even when the bird on the shroud isn’t? Yeah, it looks like that. And, like I said, a lot of the dialogue comes across as forced, and there are so many wise-cracking tiring, jokes that the dialogue will actually bump into each other, not giving you a breather for a second. This is combined with waaaaaaay too many pop-culture references. The greatest sinner in the entire film is the skeleton scene:
Skeleton Warriors: *mouths not moving* “Pirates of the Carribean!” / “Want some ribs? ” / “Bring out your lifeless!”
Dylan: “I was trained by Morpheus!” *strikes a pose* “My name isn’t Dylan, it’s Neo…” *beats up the skeletons* “There is no spoon!”
It was just here I wanted to extinguish myself.
It could have been a cute runt film, but in the kill what you net is slaughtered by the unpleasant dialogue. Forget shooting fish in a barrel – grasp an M30, stick it in the water, and pull the trigger, and THAT would be how easily the dialogue kills this movie. It’s your typical example of why so many gripping movies today fail. Instead of working on a capable script to go with vast visuals, you earn billions of dollars spent on visuals peppered with pop-culture references that will die out in five years and boring jokes every single second. Trust me, I doubt even your kids will like this. Unprejudiced in case they might, however, blot out any trace that this movie exists to them…at least until they can comprehend things like “character development,” “state,” or “friendly writing.”
