Doogal (or The Magic Roundabout) (82 min)
Synopsis: Of all the heroes in the world, Doogal, an adorable, long-haired mutt, is the one tasked with saving humankind. When the wicked sorcerer, Zeebad, is released from his ancient prison, he vows to take his revenge on those who captured him and flash-freeze the Earth forever with the power of three mysterious magic diamonds. Now, determined to save the world, a fellowship of four unlikely heroes join forces to thwart Zeebad's villainous plans. Led by candy-loving Doogal, loyal friends, Dylan, the guitar-playing rabbit; Brian, the bashful snail, and Ermintrude, the opera-singing cow, embark on an epic quest to save the world, braving ice-capped mountains, fiery pits of molten lava, and an impenetrable, booby-trapped temple guarded by an army of ninja skeleton warriors. Can Zeebad's wizardry destroy the power of friendship?

Trivia:
• Producer Harvey Weinstein saw The Magic Roundabout and decided to produce an American localized version which was distributed by the Weinstein Company. The majority of the British cast's voice work was dubbed by American celebrities.
• Butch Hartman, creator of the animated TV series The Fairly OddParents, was approached to re-work the movie for American audiences. According to Hartman, much of the material which he had re-worked had been re-re-written by new writers, stating that he had "three percent" to do with the finished product.
