Doogal tackles the classic story line of good vs. evil in this 3-D computer-animated movie. Will the good guys (depicted by toys and animals) reach the enchanted crystals first on a journey to save the earth from freezing over? or will the evil-dooer reach them to rule the frozen world? There's no time for kids to get bored in this fast-paced adventure. Adults, don't be afraid to sit and watch it with your kids either--there's many references to movies and phrases only we could relate to (i.e. Nero in Matrix). But, there are the goofy references to "tooting" to keep the kids laughing. Likable characters and entertaining celebrity voices used in this film such as Chevy Chase, William H. Macy and Whoopi! Buy it; you'll like it.
I enjoy watching movies with my toddler...some she gets excited about, me less so; others I look forward to - and this was one of those movies!! I grew up in the UK and enjoyed 'The Magic Roundabout" a beloved children's classic, and much later a cult show! Doogal is adapted from this cartoon and features all the same characters so I was interested in seeing this and sharing part of my childhood with her.....alas, this movie did not live up to my expectations and my toddler quickly went back to her Lego!! Initially my familiarity with the orginal show and the long list of stars that lend their voices to this movie - Jimmy Fallon, Whoopie Goldberg, William, H. Macy and the funny Jon Stewart - promised good things..but the movie just missed one key element - a good hook to draw the audience in ! Sure, the movie had a premise - Doogal has a mission to complete in order to save his friends - and indeed the world against the spells of the evil Zeebad who has resurfaced and is out to cause strife. We, as the audience follow Doogal on this mission, but this is where we started to lose interest! The plot struggled, and often got sidetracked. It seemed to repeat itself in some areas ...and forget what the movie was about in others, to the point where we all switched off and did not care about the ending which was predictable! Maybe someone out there will enjoy this movie, but for us, it was not well thought out and did not engage us so for that, I have to give it a poor rating!Read full review
This movie hosts a great cast of famous Hollywood people acting voice for one of the most boring, predictable movies I've ever seen. I watched it with my 20 month grandaughter and she giggled at some of the scenes, and was content with it as long as she was being held. There were several one-liners that were obviously aimed at an adult audience that were mildly funny but overall, the enjoyment obtained from the movie came from holding my grandaughter and watching her occasionally giggle. I will probably never watch this movie willingly again. I bought it because it was advertised as a great family movie with a G rating and thought I would like to support this kind of entertainment; it should have had a "K" rating for kindergarten or younger; that way, I would have anticipated a silly movie experience. Oh well, live and learn - that's the risk of buying movies before actually viewing them.Read full review
Doogal is adorable, it truly is. I adore Whoopie! She rocks and does fantastic job with all her children's themed creations. There are a few scene's I'm not crazy about, like the skeletons that attack and the fight between the good and evil springs but other then that it's really adorable. As a matter of fact, my four year old just came up to me and said "They are messing with the wrong bunny!" (from the movie... they do love it). As far as my twins go it's FOUR THUMBS UP MOM!! I'll give them that. They do have great taste! LOL Enjoy it!!
This movie is a bit weird but it's cute and has funny things in it that us adults get. My son LOVES this movie!!! I'm not much for letting him watch tv a lot but when I put this movie on he will sit on the couch the whole time and not move!!! I just don't get it he is only 2 years old (just turned 2 that is)... So because he loves this movie so much I bought it. And Im sure it will get a lot of use.
