Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Warning: These episodes are NOT the classic "Mr. Magoo". Comment: The original short UPA theatrical release Magoo cartoons, from 1949-1960, were brilliant. Two of them won Academy Awards. Unfortunately they don't seem to be currently available in a DVD format. This collection of Magoo cartoons is from the 1960's television show, and all suffer from inferior animation, boring plots and pointless side-kicks. Furthermore, as many have noted, the overdubbing of Charlie's voice is intolerable. The vocal characterization of Magoo by the great Jim Backus (who also did the voice of Magoo in the theatrical release cartoons), however, is always entertaining and is one of the best features of the Magoo series. Hopefully we won't need to wait too long for the DVD release of the earlier theatrical Magoo cartoons, but in the mean time don't waste your money on this collection. Customer Rating: Summary: Mr. Magoo Comment: If you love the old classic Mr.Magoo and wish you could find more of him, this product is fantastic. It includes all of the cartoons that were originally aired on the tv show. It does not contain any of his full length animated films which are hard to find. Mr. Magoo is hilarious and a great comedic cartoon for the young and old. Customer Rating: Summary: Not the classics I was expecting... Comment: I grew up in the 70's watching "whats new Mr. Magoo" and had no idea of this 1960's saturday morning show. In 1984, my older brother had rented VHS Mr. Magoo classic shorts from the 1940's through the 1950's. They were truly the best. I was hoping that this box set from the 60,s would have some of these shorts at least as bonus video to show how Magoo evolved. Anyway, I only laughed a few times and these cartoons were made cheap. The original Waldo was more dimwitted in Those classic shorts. They were a little darker and were made more for adults. I have watched the first three disk and will not watch anymore I, too, was upset over the Cholly "Charley" voice change. I do, believe it or not, have this 1960's Mr. Magoo Board Game. It must have been reissued in 1977 when "Whats new Mr. Magoo was debuing. I bought it at K-mart and it has most all the character's from the 60's show. If you love any- thing Magoo, then buy this DVD set for your collection. If not, save your money. Customer Rating: Summary: P.C. police, my review is for you Comment: If you are buying Mr. Magoo DVD set, you buy it because you loved it as a kid. It's a classic cartoon. In this "politically correct" age, someone thought it would be better to "edit" part of it, stealing Charlie's Chinese heritage, changing his accent, probably changing what he says altogether. WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? Are you the same people telling us there's global warming when we had the coldest winter on record? The same people who are banning my lightbulbs, so i will be forced to use the ugly, inefficient, mercury filled bulb that could poison my pets if they should break? Probably. LEAVE MY CLASSIC CARTOONS ALONE! STOP MEDDLING IN EVERYTHING THATS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. Otherwise, the dvd is ok. Customer Rating: Summary: Great for all ages / better than anything made today Comment: This is the third set I have bought. This one was for us. The first was for my nieces husband and he loves it. The world needs to get back to what is actually fun! Shipment was quick and I have nothing to say but positive on ordering and shipping.
