*"Thriller" playing in the background as Skeleton army rises up, spewing up "humor"*
"Pirates of the Caribbean!"
"I thought no Disney jokes."
Me: *Banging my head against the wall*
French narrator: Later...
*A moose prances around, farting non-stop*
Me: *banging my head against the wall again* MAKE IT STOP!!!!
Random pop cultural references and fart jokes? Was the script written by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer?
Kameron Biggs
Media Hunter: And was that a pot shot just now
I think this skeleton joke would be better if they didn’t talk and there are subtitles on it. Do you think that will be good? Let me know if you agree with me on this idea.
This is like a Diet Samurai Pizza Cats
It’s SPC but not as good
You forgot where they said "Here's Johnny!" "Someone order ribs?" and "Bring Out Your Dead!"
Fun fact: Doogal himself is not a dog. He is in fact a centipede. Each hair is actually a leg with a tiny foot on the end.
That's even more frightening...
Plot twist:doogal is a hot dog...
Doogal is actually a Skye Terrier.
@@johnnygallagher5718 haha
Plot twist: Doogal is a furry frek with a face and no plaws/legs.
Yeah, I rewatched the original European version of the film on DVD last week and, while it still has a few minor problems, it’s still MILES better than this version.
Hey James! What awful British/Canadian cartoon will you review this time?
Nicklas Zande STVS TDP est. 2001 Well, I don’t know about “awful”, but sometime in the future, I’ll consider reviewing a Gingerbread Man (1992) video tape and a Thomas Season 8 DVD.
I think The original version is decent nothing amazing but decent this is a terrible version
Nice to see you here, James
I would actually check the original version out, too bad it never released in North America, instead we got this crap.
Doogal -- *_Top 10 Most Powerful Chracters Who Can Beat Thanos Within One Second_*
Nah fam, Brian the douchey snail can give him a run for his money.
No that would be the greatest hippie, Dylan
No more lie
Doogal - *too 10 most powerful characters who can beat thanos quicker then a second*
@Christopher Millian Doogal glaps the smash ball and actived his final smash, GIGA DOOGAL
Mr. Friendship or shaggy!
Butch Hartman said the hardest part about re-writing the movie was that it was already animated, and all the dialogue he wrote had to match the mouths of the already animated characters.
@marianne mccrank yes
And that's a littls of the hard world of dubs XD
marianne mccrank yeah, originally his version of the script was supposed to stay true to the original UK Dub, but unfortunately, Harvey Weinstein rejected and rewrote Butch’s version behind his back
@@Sorcerer-SMC That’s what happens when working with a major American production company, just look at what happened to Winx Club. Iginio Straffi liked working with Nickelodeon and they chose Nick Jr. writers just to adapt the show to younger audiences. The storyline in the co-produced revival has slowly dipped in quality ever since, possibly due to the pressure that the Executives of Nickelodeon, or should I say, Viacom, put on the writers just to make money. Straffi also lowered the age demographic to adapt to the increasingly younger animation audience.
The Butch Hartman, creator of Danny Phantom and Fairly Odd Parents?
I saw this in theaters unfortunately. Even as a kid I went "This is the worst kids' movie ever."
Really? Because I saw it and I actually genuinely enjoyed it then again I always try to find the good in everything including watchable media although with movies like the emoji movie such a task is impossible
I loved the original The Magic Roundabout so much. Being British, this film was so good and such a classic because I grew up with the original show. I can’t believe they actually created an American version of this🤦♀️
Me too
9:38 Funny you say that. There's actually an interview with Jon Stewart about him working on this film where he said "Harvey asked me to be in this movie, and I fear him like everyone" and Stewart's response (half-joking) was "yes, please don't kill me."
CartoonCaleb I don’t think Jon Stewart has a very good track record with animated film considering how he was in the adventures of Tom Thumb and thumbelina and this garbage excuse of a movie.
@@georgerobertson7010 But he was in Gravity Falls though. He was the cat judge.
CartoonCaleb oh yeah, he was also in phineas and ferb as mr random that’s one of the roles I don’t feel sorry for him for doing.
Imagine the Fortnite, Frozen, Vaping reference they would have if it was made today
Edit: and enchanto
Candy Cane LOL yeah. Maybe Sans would’ve made a cameo at the Skeleton scene.
@@christopherwallace7903 For this version, that's way too much effort.
Here's Johnny!
Someone order ribs?
Bring Out Your Dead!
Pirates of the Caribbean...hey I thought we said no Disney jokes!
That's the quality of humor or humour we get in this Americanized British movie.
I'm trying not to.
I'd rather not. Thankfully I'm British and grew up with the original dub. And Christ it's 100 times better
It’s so weird to see doogal and classic in the same title.
hindu_frappe my mom and me love dougal
What do you mean?
durece100 doogal the movie
@@zoelindwall637 So?
hindu_frappe The Classic in AniMat's Classic Reviews refers to movies that were released before he became popular
He also uses this title on any direct-to-video title
I actually saw this movie as a little kid in theatres (I live in Florida so I got the American version). I had a huge fear of skeletons so that scene with the skeletons was terrifying for 6 year old me. I tried to find this movie for years and only recently did I learn that EVERYONE HATED IT
Doogal looks more like a sentient wig than an actual dog.
*I thought we said no Disney jokes*
😂😂😂
Wassup???
Now we just need Nostalgia Critic and Saberspark to review this.
Yeah, I've been waiting for Nostalgia Critic to review this movie and it will happen.
Have you heard of the change the channel controversy
Yes but it's not effecting Doug.
I can just see the title now.
What the HELL is Doogal? (terrible 2006 furry movie!?)
*cough* lordbyako *cough*
Does anyone else think that AniMat should actually review the original UK version?
Yesssssss
@@lionkingforever3862
My rating for the original British version
Story 7/10
Animation 4/10
Characters 8/10
Overall 7/10
Adding up SAC Score, you get 19, which is more of a 6/10.
I do.
The next classic review is Rock-A-Doodle
Agreed
MegaSoulHero what do u think Animat's score will be for Rock-A-Doodle?
@@brandongreene6175 probably a 3 to 4 out of 10.
I thought your least favorite was A troll in Central Park
@@chadhawksworth9229 it's probably his worst film from Don Bluth which is everyone's
9:22. To be fair, Bill Hader was the only American actor that actually felt like he was trying to give a good performance
I can't believe I liked this dog shit as a kid.
Same here.
Was that pun intended?
Dude same
I only did because the bunny was thicc...i have problems
Same
Yep I'm convinced, Weinstein is pretty much the LJN of animated films. What LJN was to making crappy games, Weinstein was to screwing over with animation
Sony Pictures Entertainment: *Hold my Razzie*
WowNow and Splash: Hold our beers.
4kids: Hold my juice
Harvey Weinstein is a monster in both animation and in real life.
3:30 Wait a second. The Shining, Thriller, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and Pirates of the Caribbean all within a few seconds of each other? WHAT IS THIS WITCHCRAFT?
@Luigi Marinus Vlogs Good to know.
Aequitad since one of the skeletons said “someone order ribs?” What is that a reference to?
@@georgerobertson7010 I honestly have no idea.
When I was young I freaking LOVED this movie. I would want to rewatch it all the time, and my parents did not enjoy it. I have no idea why I loved the movie so much, it genuinely baffles me.
Funny thing about this film was that it was featured in the 2006 movie, Big Nothing, starring David Schwimmer and Simon Pegg (with an American accent). During a scene where Schwimmer is trying to avoid getting in trouble with a cop who is searching around the house, the cop comes across a TV playing this movie and is laughing at it, saying that he likes the movie. That's just sad.
The best part of Dougal was in his fight scenes. It was absolutely hilarious to see him floundering around trying to fight before inevitably fallling over and catching fire either due to arena hazards or the house robots.
No, wait, that's Robot Wars. Sorry, my bad.
7:39 did you know that in the original,Dylan says
“Yeah,it starts with some sweets,man! Maybe an ice bun. And before you know it,you’re on two bags a day!! I know,man! I’ve been through it!”
Now doesn’t that sound more like a drug addiction than this version?
That's because Dylan was supposed to be high 24/7. And it was funny.
Ditto 73 😂 yeah! Tell me about it!
“Chill out,guys! I’ve got just the stash that just might help us!”
“Dylan,we’re not interested in recreational activities!”
“Zepedee’s magic box!”
Oh! Of course! 😂
XD
I usually assume that to Americanize something means to make it crass, stupid and terrible. By the way Matt, Britain and France are Western countries too!
I just found out that Michael from Elf is actually the voice of Doogal in the American dub
save my soul
I still can't believe the creator of " the fairly odd parents" was involved in this.
@marianne mccrank HIS version of the film was different from the final product, Butch's version had the lines match up with the mouths like a dub of an anime, and no dumb pop culture jokes, that version was so far into production to the point that some of the actors had recorded their lines. But then Harvey Weinstein made HIS own crappy version which became the American version of Doogal. So long story short, Butch wanted to make Doogal GOOD.
Animat finally reviewed doogal!!!! My life is complete!!!!
And the next review is the beginning of the downfall of Don Bluth
Samuel Quan Funny how the first bad Don Bluth movie is the first bad Don Bluth he’s reviewing. He’s reviewed 3 of his movies, but neither got the Seal of Garbage.
@@chillplayer1234 how very true
Rock-a-Doogal
So they didn’t even animate this movie and took it from the UK? Now that’s really lazy of the Weinstien company, and what makes the American version of this worse is that one of its writers was none other than Butch Hartman, yeah that’s right, the creator of Fairly Odd Parents, Danny Phantom, Tuff Puppy, and Bunsen is a Beast, was one of the writers for this lame Americanized version of The Magic Roundabout Movie
EDIT: now I actually feel bad for Butch now that I’ve found out (thanks to the people who replied) that he actually wrote a different version of the script to stay true to the original movie, but unfortunately the company rejected and rewrote it their way
Actually, Butch originally wrote the script to be more faithful to the original movie only to have most of it rewritten behind his back.
I'mNotMario ohhhhhhhhh, so he attempted at making this movie better, but was rejected?
@@nario9718 Yep, another example of the studio screwing things up via interference
Of course they didn't animate it, they just redubbed it to better fit American taste - which actually isn't so unsusual and done rather often.
Sorcerer SMC, why couldn’t they just ask the animators to reanimate the mouths of the characters to make the U.S. dialogue sync better?
So, A Don Bluth Movie, involving a singing Roster and the late Glen Campbell.
Rooster
Rock A Doodle
This review is better than the actual movie itself!
The UK version is better than the American version it's not a perfect film but like mat said you'll have a better time with it than a movie that wasted no talent at all!
Oh boy, "Rock-A-Doodle" is next! Once that music kicked in when he read the card, I knew right away what it was.
"I do not want another single pop cultural reference out of you."
Would you consider reviewing the real magic round about as well to show how much better it is when a film isn't ruined by dubbing.
Kevin Smith voices the moose as a huge favor, however in the UK cut the moose and the train never talks
The moose doesn't talk in the UK version, but the train certainly does, but not as much as in the US version.
The UK version had the moose, too, but it was *silent.* So they let Kevin Smith say a few sentences over an onriginally silent character just to shoehorn in another celebrity.
1:52-1:55-The footage matches the narration
Anybody here saw the rebeltaxi video on Doogal.
Me
Me too.
Doogal? You mean Lord of the Springs, right?
Genuinely one of the worst movies I've ever seen (I'd give the original version around a 6/10)
Yeah
The British version had a few flaws to fix and isn’t really cinematic but it’s still enjoyable and makes a good tv special for the show it was based on. Also, you can tell they were actually trying in the original.
Good rating I agree
This is how deadly plastic can be.
You should review Dougal and the Blue Cat in the future. It's the 1972 film of The Magic Roundabout TV series. It even has my idol, Fenella Fielding, as the voice of the Blue Queen, the only time original UK narrator Eric Thompson called in another person to voice a character. (He voiced all the characters in the TV series)
The reason why Dougal/Doogal/Pollux has no visible legs is because in stop motion he would have been easier to animate with very long hair which would make it no need for legs
Doogal or Doonotgal that is the question.
Apart from the candy addiction thing mentioned, the only things I remember about this movie was the snail yelling “Charge!” really slowly and then “Run Away!” really slowly and that it got its own ICEE flavor that was available at that cookie place you see at the mall(I don’t know why I can’t remember the name. I loved that place as a kid and still do).
0:59 And, "Where The Dead Go To Die", Don't forget Labby.
Great i going to have a nightmare now since you mention satan dog
Okay, the fire and ice moustache fight sounds awesome
I actually even remember seeing commercials for this train wreck and even though I had never seen the Magic Roundabout series, even I could tell this was a mess and it was just annoying to hear their voices in the commercials, also the “jokes” and “pop culture references” are very poorly dated that it honestly has me think of the “How do ya do, fellow young kids?” scene over and over again with this American dub of the movie(not saying English because well it already was in English in its original British version) Least Harvey Weinstein is out so maybe animated films will be sparred from his touch as well(though at least Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli showed they were not to be messed with when he was thinking about cutting scenes from the English dub of “Princess Mononoke”, I wonder if he still has that note that says “No Cuts” and the katana that came with it, where basically it was both Ghibli and Miyazaki’s way of saying “Oh, you want to make cuts to the movie? How bout you start by making cuts TO YOURSELF?”) Least GKids and Shout Factory have way more respect for classic and modern foreign animated films and don’t try to make it hip and fresh for the young kids or viewers in general
They also got rid of Doogal’s Voice from the trailer, & replaced it with a kid actor for the whole movie. The actor from the trailer has these voice clips.
Doogle: The fearless warrior couldn’t make it today, so I came instead.
Doogle: No he can’t. Fine, I broke the fall with my face. OH, AYE!
Why?
Animat : Zebedee is just the generic father-figure at the place.
Jambareeqi : So you have chosen death!☠️☠️☠️
I'm just listening to audio, and suddenly i'm like "Hey! That's ELO!"
The UK version was good me being British Robbie Williams I used to like as dougal
Any particular reason they made Doogal a kid in the US version? That voice difference is really freaking me out! XD
zaptrollwen hoodwinked isn’t a trilogy it only had two movies.
lol at the poop emoji on the animat seal of garbage.
At least they kept the Magic Roundabout theme from the original movie!
I agree with his rating, this is just awful.
Samuel Quan me too, and how exactly is just saying things from pop culture funny?!?
@@georgerobertson7010 it's never funny to begin with at least with this movie
Samuel Quan I agree 100% how would you like it if in wreck it Ralph if they kept saying stuff like super Mario bros, pac man, donkey Kong
@@georgerobertson7010 then the experience is ruined
Samuel Quan that would also be like if in frozen if they gave Sven an unneeded voice over by Adam sandler and made him spew out stupid and unfunny references and one liners and have him fart constantly.
When I was little I had bunch of VHS tapes with cartoons recorded from TV. The Magic Roundabout with Polish dub was one of them. II still have some memories of it, but when years I saw posters and other stuff promoting 2005 movie, I did not recognised it was adaptation of this old show until some time later.
I’m so glad that I grew up with the light years better UK version
"Pirates of the carribian"
"I said no disney jokes"
I laughed at that because it was so bad
6:36 Pre Last Airbender
Doogal is really a disgrace to the original film and tv series where it was based of. I bet the original creators of the tv series hates this version. I even feel sorry for Butch Hartman for rewriting this garbage. He made really good cartoons, but this was his worst work that he had to suffer. I should stick to the original version. Next up is Rock a Doodle
Gresham Inc I bet serge danot (the creator of the show) is probably rolling in his grave to this movie.
George Robertson I agree
Gresham Inc do you think this movie is the animated equivalent of the cat in the hat movie with mike Myers? Think about it, they’re both based off of an already existing property, they have talented actors in them and they disrespect the source material that they’re based on by adding in all sorts of pop culture references and unfunny humour but the only things setting them apart is the cat in the hat at least has some funny moments this movie has nothing memorable or redeemable about it.
I remember accidentally going into the theater room that was playing this.
Thanks for up loading this on my birthday that was yesterday!
If you guys wanna see an Americanized dub of a foreign property that’s actually done WELL, I’d recommend the Ghost Stories dub. Sure, it’s raunchy and a bit repetitive, but at least the voice actors actually acted like they CARED about the project!
P.S. It’s pretty unbelievable that you consider Rock a Doodle worse than A Troll in Central Park. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see. 🤷♀️
He dislikes it more than A Troll in Central Park and Pebble and the Penguin?
If Doogal turned out this bad, just imagine what it would've been like if Weinstein had actually managed to cut Princess Mononoke x_x
Silver Feral Thunderbird that would be awful.
@@georgerobertson7010 people hate Americanization
OMG! I don’t even want to know
Wow. What a piece of *Poogal!*
See what I did there?
PixarFan 8695 😂
That’s actually a title of a YTP!
The real way to spell Doogal is D O U G A L.
Wow! I'm just amazed that they can't even get that right!!!!
Jimmy Fallon deserves better!!
Don't worry, he got better in Whip It
I agree! 🐰🐰🐰
No one:
Random skeleton in the movie: *pirates of the Caribbean*
At least Florence and zebedee are the only characters in this who don’t make pop culture references
So now comes the next question: how would you rate the European adaptation?
For me it would be the following:
Story: 7/10
Animation: 5/10
Characters: 6/10
Final Verdict: 6.5/10
This film is like a feature-length gag dub, but written by film executives and not funny in the slightest.
Now the original film isn't a classic, but at least it had some character development during the course of the events.
I think that this originally had a short playing before it, which was funnier than the film itself, plus a small bit where Doogal talks to the narrator before the film starts, but those were probably before the home video release.
I used to watch the original Magic Roundabout on Pinwheel back in the 80s. I love Doogle, so when this movie came out I was excited. And then I saw it. I was so angry. I'm still angry. 😡
Pinwheel!!!!!
Tracy Palma watch the original
@@cindydillard1825 it's not available in the US.
@@LUVBOTZ
I know but I know someone who uploaded it bit by bit
Oh no, did Nintendo ripped off Doogal with ARMS????
Find out on Game Theory
-- Pan Pizza of Rebeltaxi
HOLY SHIET i thought that movie was just a dream in my child mind
You should review Jimmy Neutron and Barnyard.
He better give Jimmy Neutron the Animat's Seal of Aprove and Barnyard the Animat's Seal of Garbage
He better give Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius a 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000/10 and Barnyard a 1/10
I still don't get how Jimmy Neutron got an Oscar nomination, it felt like a tv pilot
@@jetisbae2164 Because It's a masterpiece. I'm still angry that it lost to freaking Shrek 👊😡

16:40 this American dub in a nutshell.
As a child I really enjoyed dougal and it was one of my earliest introductions to the over used The bad guy vs the good guy. Almost like a gandalf vs sauron or whatever
When the movie was starting i went to the restroom then after it I saw curious George with my dad instead of doogal
I agree with you completely. I watched this movie when I was about 13 and that was a time when I practically liked anything that I saw and I hated this. Good review, Mat!
Also, the next review is Rock-A-Doodle. Good luck, Mat.
Alex Klepp I wonder if rock a doodle will get the animat seal of garbage like this piece of crap did.
George Robertson He did say its his least favorite Don Bluth movie.
So THAT'S why I thought the voices sounded different
Its because it isnt the original move
Trust me the original movie isnt oversaturated with pop culture references
On top of that my favourite character in the original is Dylan just because his voice along with his quotes and personality go so well together
I loved this movie as a kid
And almost had forgotten about it
I enjoy this movie for 2 different reasons
1) nostalgia
2) in a so bad it’s good way
Oh my god this movie *does* exist,
I thought it was just a fever dream
Same here! As I thought this movie was weird (maybe because of doogals character animation) but if I'd choose between versions I'm sticking to the UK one!
Now I know I was a dumb kid, because I used to like this movie
As a kid, I love Doogal. Now I look back and I’m like “what was I thinking?”
Same
I was waiting for you to review this movie forever, now you finally do! Has Christmas come early?!
Animation Hat Requests:
Case Closed: The Time Bombed Skyscraper
Kiki’s Delivery Service
Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us
Your Name

My Hero Academia Two Heroes
Next movie is Rock-A-Doodle
Biggest mistake of my childhood was asking my mom to take me to see this over the Curious George movie that came out around the same time. Speaking of which, can you please review that next?
DJ Androm3da even curious George is better than this dog crap! (No pun intended.)
@@jackiegonzalez6814 imo the Curious George movie is actually pretty good (for little kids at least). I love the Jack Johnson soundtrack!
DJ Androm3da I actually love the curious George movie. It was my two daughters childhood and they loved it so much that when pbs kids aired the curious George tv show based on the movie of the same name, they watched every episode of the show and loved it.
DJ Androm3da I think if animat reviews curious George (2006) these would be the scores
Story: 7/10
Animation: 8/10
Characters: 7/10
Overall
7/10
I love that movie that is based on a book and plus curious george the movie is great and plus I love that tv show it's one of my favorite little kids shows it's a great show
I was watching the history of hanna barbara and then realized it was a decade old so i wanted to see if you're still uploading to TH-cam
This movie was buried deep down in my memory and nearly forgotten that it ever existed
I've been waiting for this
I saw this once on DVD when I was younger.
I remember liking it at the time, but I don't even remember how old I was when I saw it.
I always thought that "Doogal" was just underated, but I didn't think it was one of the worst animated films ever made.
Also when I first saw the trailer for this film in the DVD opening of "The Reef", Doogal sounded like he was voiced by a young man. When I took a glance at the actual movie, Doogal's voice sounded like a child. I feel so robbed.
It doesn’t help that Tom Baker of Dr Who Star is in the film, But in the UK version.
I'm really glad I didn't see this in theaters, but the weird thing is when I saw the original trailer Doogal sounds like a grown man,
and that this has different versions.
Yay it’s here!
