The Magic Roundabout

The Magic Roundabout (known as Pollux – Le manège enchanté in France) is a 2005 computer-animated adventure fantasy film based on the original stop motion television series of the same name. It was released in France with a French dub on 2 February 2005, and an English-language version was released two weeks later in the United Kingdom on 11 February. In the United States, the film was released as Doogal on 24 February 2006 with a new English dub and script. Only Ian McKellen's performance was retained, while Kylie Minogue redubbed her role from the UK release. The UK and French dub received mixed reviews but the U.S. dub received overwhelmingly negative reviews. Plot The wizard Zebedee, a red jack-in-the-box-like creature, is having a nightmare about an evil ice wizard named Zeebad, a blue jack-in-the-box-like creature. Dougal the well-meaning cheeky, slacker dog places a tack in the road to pop a sweet cart's tyre, hoping to be rewarded with sweets for watching the cart. After the driver goes for help, Dougal accidentally crashes the cart into the magic roundabout at the village. Zeebad emerges from the roundabout roof and flies away, followed by a Foot Guard figurine thrown off the roundabout as it freezes over, trapping repairman Mr Rusty, Dougal's young owner Florence, and two other children named Coral and Basil within an icy cell.
