I thoroughly enjoyed “Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol” when it first was broadcast on television back in 1962. Not only did it feature the then well-known lovable bumbler Magoo, as played by the great Jim Backus, but the musical score was absolutely wonderful. All of the songs in this “Broadway”-style rendition are catchy, and some of them are truly touching and memorable.

Since this brief animated production was created nearly forty years ago, there have been countless new “Christmas Carol” productions featuring everyone from George C. Scott to the Muppets to Fred Flintstone (really!) And yet the VHS release of the Magoo version, still apparently as appealing now as it was decades ago, is my own children’s favorite version of Dickens’ classic yuletide tale. In fact, my younger son at age three used to beg me to play this video again and again at Christmastime, calling it “Back, Back, Back,” based upon the opening song in which Magoo sings about how it’s “great to be back, back, back on Broadway.”

This cartoon is reasonably true to the details of the original story, and yet adds its own bits of humor and whimsy. There also is a generous dose of Magoo “nearsightedness” humor associated with the premise that Magoo is playing the role of Scrooge in a Broadway production.

As other reviewers have indicated, the casting overall is first-rate and the production is superb throughout. This is truly a gem of a Christmas video and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

“Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol” has always been my favorite musical version of Dicken’s classic tale for the simple reason that the songs have been better than all those other versions, including the most recent attempt with Kelsey Grammar. Since the music and lyrics are by Jule Styne and Bob Merrill, the same team that did “Funny Girl,” this is not surprising. I have just finished watching the show again and I finally noticed that there are only four songs. They just happen to be four really good songs and even when there is not singing three of them are used to great effect as background music. No wonder that as soon as you hear the opening theme on the DVD the feelings and memories coming rushing back.

Once you get past the framing device of Magoo showing up for the performance and taking a curtain call as he brings down the house at the start and the end of the show there are only a few moments where you are dealing with Mr. Magoo’s nearsightedness. For the most part Barbara Chain’s script does “A Christmas Carol” straight up and it works, mainly because when Mr. Magoo scowls and does his whole “Bah, humbug” bit you buy it. As we all know Jim Backus does the voice of Mr. Magoo/Scrooge, while Jack Cassidy does Bob Cratchit, Royal Dano is Marley’s Ghost, Les Tremayne voices the Ghost of Christmas Present, the great June Foray (a.k.a. Rocky the Flying Squirrel) does the Ghost of Christmas Past, Joan Garnder is Tiny Tim (who is “played” by another cartoon character from the 1950s, Gerald McBoing-Boing), and Paul Frees’ recognizable voice does several characters. Frees and Foray sing together on “The Bandit Song” and Jane Kean sings “Winter Was Warm” as Belle, the woman beloved by the young Scrooge.

All things considered, “Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol” is my favorite animated holiday show and it is not Christmas unless I see it, “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” and “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.” I love the finale when they all sing “The Cratchit Family Dinner Song” (a.k.a. “We’ll Have the Lord’s Bright Blessing”). It does not matter that the animation is bare-boned (the audience never moves) or that there are some completely comic supporting characters, because the songs are so wonderful and the emotion of the story comes through. Watching your favorite holiday specials brings back memories of Christmas as a child, and there is not much in this world sweeter than that. I do not know if this show can win over a new generation of fans, but if you have ever seen this one you know you have to see it again.

Rin, the tough as nails samurai girl of Aoi Academy comes to the forefront in this second volume of a very funny series. In the first episode she tries to master the art of preparing a school lunch for her crush on a fellow student who’s transferring. She’s never been able to work up the nerve to speak to him so it’s up to Kazuki and the girls to give her some cooking training. Even though she might slice them up with her katana!

The second episode puts her in an even more comedic situation as she, Yuna, and Kurika all vie to look the best when they find out Kazuki’s parents are coming to visit. A scene where Rin tries to perfect a polite smile is priceless. A possible new rival arrives in the form of Chihaya Yamase, a childhood friend of Kazuki as she asks Kazuki’s class to join hers in putting on a festival play. Finally, the whole gang tries to catch a kid that has stolen a piece of stolen jewelry from the biggest jerk in the school, Nakamuro.

This installment was very funny. Rin especially shined and was involved in the best comedy because her personality is so opposed to such things. I give her an “A” for trying. The girls of the show never become annoying as is so common in shows like this. They’re always funny, even the super-cute Yuna who can get pretty violent at times. The big busted Kuriko, who supposedly has everything, is learning that there’s more to life than material possessions. And then there’s Kazuki who you can’t help but like because he gives without thinking about a reward. He’s just a caring person. Great show.

First off i started to collect this series because of the way people described it in their reviews. Turns out this is one of my favorite animes of all time.

This dvd starts with Rin having a crush with this boy who is the head of the biology club. The problem is that he seems to be leaving the school and so Rin wants to do something nice for him before he leaves. Lets just say Rin isn’t much of a cook…enough said.

The second episode brings up the topic of Kazuki’s parents and all of the girls are going wild. All of them believe that they have to make a good impression if they are to get Kazuki’s genes so each of them takes their own time and prepares dishes and are ready to welcome Kazuki’s parents. There was just one problem…..but im not gonna say.

The third episode is about the aoi campus holding a festival and Kazuki’s class can’t seem to choose a role in this festival. The dvd introduces a new character and she seems to be Kazuki’s childhood friend. They both take part in this play, but I wont say anything that will spoil it.

The last episode begins with a boy trying to steal nakamuro’s jewelry. Now the first thing that might come to your mind is “why in the world does he even have jewelry?” Kazuki’s power maybe amazing, but exactly how many more times does he exactly have left?

Overall if you enjoyed animes like: love hina, inuyasha, d.n.angel, or tenchi muyo then you will absolutely adore this series!!!!!!

Get Dragon’s World: A Fantasy Made Real Online Right Now!

Fantasy enthusiasts and animal documentary aficionados alike are sure to get a kick from this imaginative blend of adventure and nature special that purports to investigate the discovery of a dragon’s corpse in modern-day Romania. Director Justin Hardy skillfully balances the framing story of a British scientific team that attempts to understand the creature’s uniqu capabilities (flight, fire breathing) with documentary-style “re-creations” (narrated by The Lord of the Rings‘ Ian Holm) that explain how dragons evolved since prehistoric times. Stunning CGI effects (members of the visual effects team worked previously on the Walking with Dinosaurs series and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets) help make these flashbacks as realistic as possible, but what really sells the premise is the script by Hardy and Charlie Foley (with assistance from acclaimed fantasy author Neil Gaiman), which uses real animal biology and history to present a compelling and plausible case for the existence of these mythological animals. –Paul Gaita
