Although this film has nice animation, talented actors voicing the roles, and a great subject - the hugely entertaining 1960s children's TV series 'The Magic Roundabout', this film is fatally flawed by a execrable script. This film had nine (count 'em) scriptwriters. Not even the appalling Judge Dredd had that many. This is a perfect example of how bad a film written by committee can be. Awful, awful, awful. Please, if you haven't yet seen Doogal (or as it's called in Britain 'The Magic Roundabout'), and if you value your intellect, don't see this film. Instead, buy or rent the old Magic Roundabout series (if it's available anywhere anymore). The series was great.
