Magic Roundabout

[mademma]

Thinking about the new magic roundabout film (anybody seen it yet??) made me wonder whether anybody else had seen the feature length cartoon film they put out about the evil blue cat...... Very wierd stuff - it really scared my son when he was a kid.

I watched Dougal and the Blue Cat for the first time recently after buying a video of it on ebay. I can imagine it would be scary for a kid! Very very funny too though.

[mademma]

yes. I was beginning to think I was only one to have seen it. Have you seen the new movie ?

I haven't seen the new one, no. I've heard it's not very good. From a clip I have seen they seem to have exagerated the characters, losing the understated sense of humour. I'll probably see it sooner or later though.

I think some of the weirdness and humour of Dougal and the Blue Cat comes from the way it was translated from French to English. Especially when that choir sing quite a lengthy song untranslated, ie still in French, Then Dougal in a deadpan voice says, "French you know." As if we didn't!

I know what you mean - I think it is really wacky. It is one of the few movies from my sons childhood that he has insisted we keep.

I am unsure about the new film but curious too. I will wait til I can rent the dvd cos I do not want to be stuck in a cinema gnashing my teeth if I hate it.
