The Magic Roundabout is a 2005 British computer animated film based on the British dub of the French Stop Motion cartoon The Magic Roundabout. While the original series is famous for how quirky and nonsensical it is, the film takes a more ambitious route and puts the characters on an epic adventure.The plot follows the dog Dougal (Robbie Williams) as he enjoys his life in the village with his friends and his owner Florence (Kylie Minogue). One day, he accidentally crashes his cart into the titular magic roundabout in the center of town. This causes the evil Zeebad (Tom Baker) to escape and threatens to usher the world into a new Ice Age with his powers. With the threat looming, wizard Zebedee (Ian McKellen) sends Dougal and his friends off to a wide-spanning quest to find three diamonds that, once collected, can imprison Zeebad back in his place.The film also stars Joanna Lumley, Jim Broadbent, Bill Nighy and Ray Winstone.However, this isn't the version of the movie you probably know about.Shortly before the film's release, the newly-formed The Weinstein Company acquired the North American rights. Poised to release it in a market unfamiliar with the original show, the studio took an unusual route and did a Same Language Dub of the film. The plot was entirely the same, but now it featured an American All-Star Cast, with only Kylie Minogue and Ian McKellen retaining their roles. What changed most dramatically is the dialogue, courtesy of a rewritten script by Butch Hartman (and then further rewritten with Hartman's name kept on it). Not only was a narration from Judi Dench added and all British slang removed, but almost all of the jokes were rewritten, with most of them centering around American-centric pop culture references. This dub, renamed to Doogal, was harshly panned by critics and audiences and was a financial failure.The modest success of the original version of the film lead to a CG revival of the original series based on the characters from this version, which lasted two seasons. | |

Laser Hallway | |
| The Magic Roundabout (2005) / int_2813c530 | comment |
Laser Hallway: The laser beams in the room in the temple activate once Dougal pushes a button on the throne that reveals the second diamond. Though no one would go through the laser beam without tripping them, Ermintrude volunteers to make her way to the diamond where she narrowly avoids tripping one of them. Unfortunately, Dougal was having his last gobstopper at the time, begins to praise Ermintrude and accidentally spits the gobstopper out, causing it to bounce off the throne and tripping one of the laser beams, setting off the alarm to which the skeletons burst in the room from the ground and advance on the gang. | |

Deus ex Machina: Dylan tries to invoke this on Zeebad, but using Zebedee's magic box on him. But it seemingly fails on him, and just as it seems Zeebad is going to win, Train (who is now healed after the crash landing from the chase earlier) suddenly arrives right behind Zeebad and runs him over, knocking the diamond out of his grasp and it allows Dougal to slot it in its place on the roundabout, thus undoing Zeebad's icy magic and re-imprisoning him. | |

What Does This Button Do? | |
| The Magic Roundabout (2005) / int_458bd7d | comment |
What Does This Button Do?: While looking around the room in the temple, Dougal spots a throne and climbs onto it where he finds two buttons on each armrest. He assumes the one on the right is the recline button and presses it, this causes the podium to rise revealing the second diamond and activating the alarm beams. Later when the giant skeleton is attacking the gang, Dougal retreats to the throne where he sees another button on the left armrest and pushes it to see what will happen to the skeleton. The button activates the trapdoor underneath the skeleton which he soon falls into the mines. Shortly afterwards when Zeebad took the second diamond and was cornering the gang, Dougal, under Ermintrude's command, pushes the said button again, sending both Zeebad and Sam into the mines. When Train and the heroes are being chased by Zeebad: | |

| The Magic Roundabout (2005) / int_48081842 | comment |
The Stinger: The film has two of them (only one in the US dub). The first one (shown in the British and French version) before the scrolling credits start show Zeebad back in his prison which is, to his dismay, a lava-filled cavern. The second one happens halfway through the scrolling credits (this is retained in the US dub, but only moved near the end of the credits) with Zebedee appearing and says his signature "Time for Bed" catchphrase to the audience before he magically disappears. | |

| The Magic Roundabout (2005) / int_485eb589 | comment |
Sealed Evil in a Can: The titular roundabout is revealed to be the Can for Zebedee's evil twin Zeebad once the roundabout ends up severely damaged and spinning out of control as a result of the sugar cart exploding after Dougal accidentally made it crash right on top of the roundabout, it gives Zeebad the opportunity to escape and freeze the roundabout over. At the climax of the film, Zeebad ends up re-imprisoned back inside the roundabout after Dougal placed the third diamond in its slot on the roundabout. | |

You Are Too Late: The gang make their way back to the frozen village, but they arrive too late to stop Zeebad from getting his hands on the third diamond and freezing the sun with them to fully freeze the world. But they do eventually manage to steal back the diamonds and place them on the roundabout where it reverses everything Zeebad did and re-imprisons him. | |

Lava Pit: The first diamond is located in a lava-bordered volcano where the gang has to cross a narrow and crumbling bridge where they suffered a near-death experience. The bridge is later destroyed by Zeebad and Sam after taking the first diamond and the map from the gang. Also, the post-credits scene reveals Zeebad's prison to be nothing more but a lava-filled cavern underground and way underneath the Magic Roundabout. | |

Sympathetic Villain, Despicable Villain | |
| The Magic Roundabout (2005) / int_553c2ade | comment |
Sympathetic Villain, Despicable Villain: The two antagonists are the evil ice wizard Zeebad, and his Noble Top Enforcer Soldier Sam. Sam isn't inherently malicious, balks when ordered to do some particularly reprehensible things, and he's been manipulated by Zeebad into believing the MacGuffins which he's helping Zeebad claim are the latter's property. Zeebad on the other hand is a Card-Carrying Villain who revels in hurting others at every opportunity, he wants to engulf the Earth in eternal winter by freezing the sun and cares for absolutely no one but himself at the day's end. Ultimately, Zeebad cruelly leaves an injured Sam to die alone in a frozen waste (rubbing the fact in Sam's face just before he departs), and when Sam later attempts to amend his previous misguided deeds by challenging Zeebad, Zeebad strikes him down and temporarily "kills" him in cold blood. | |

Achievements in Ignorance: Brian volunteers to take the lead to go in the temple when the gang are hesitant to go in. As he goes in at a literal snail's pace and gives his spiel, he somehow triggers the booby traps and avoids them, while just ignoring what's going on, even when a boulder seemingly lands on him, but it landed in front of him. | |

Erudite Stoner: Though Dylan was coded this in the original show, it got a lot more blatant in the film, including Brian chiding him that they "don't have time to indulge in recreational activities" when Dylan states he has something stashed that might help as he is referring to Zebedee's magic box. | |

When Soldier Sam meekly joins in with Zeebad's laughter, he gets one from Zeebad who says to him that he is ruining the moment. In the climax of the film, Dougal, Ermintrude, Dylan and Brian all shoot Zeebad one. It even has the close-ups shots of Dougal and Ermintrude's scowled eyes before it cuts to Dylan cracking his knuckles and then it cuts to Brian when Dylan picks him up to put him on Ermintrude's back. | |

Alternative Foreign Theme Song | |
| The Magic Roundabout (2005) / int_7b20b8d2 | comment |
Alternative Foreign Theme Song: Most of the music used in the French dub is unique in several scenes, since the English dubs (as well as other foreign-language versions of the film) used more insert pop songs. For example: A different lyrical song is used during a dream sequence, as opposed to the Electric Light Orchestra song "Mr. Blue Sky" used in the English versions. The title song performed at the end of the film and through the end credits in the English versions, is moved to the opening credits in the French dub, while another different lyrical song is performed at the end of the film (the opening credits in the English dubs use the Pilot song "Magic"). The American dub has "Simply Wonderful" which is actually background music from the original with lyrics added in. | |

Cultural Translation | |
| The Magic Roundabout (2005) / int_7d49d74a | comment |
Cultural Translation: In addition to its plethora of pop culture references, the American dub also swaps out the names of Dougal's treats for others more familiar to American audiences, such as jawbreakers and bubble gum in place of gobstoppers. | |

Off with His Head! | |
| The Magic Roundabout (2005) / int_7e6c0522 | comment |
Off with His Head!: Zeebad tells Soldier Sam to execute Brian this way after overhearing the third diamond's location due to being blindfolded by his scarf after landing on the roof of the driller train. This didn't happen anyway because Brian manages to get back on board Train, but also because, as Sam pointed out, disposing of a prisoner is against the Geneva Convention. Later, Zeebad calls the injured Sam out for sparing him after the driller train exploded. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
| The Magic Roundabout (2005) / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Dougal accidentally crashing the sugar cart into the titular Magic Roundabout allowing Zeebad to escape from his prison and freeze the roundabout which traps Florence, Mr. Rusty, Basil and Coral is what sets the plot in motion. If that wasn't enough, his foolish mistake of spilling the beans about the map allows Zeebad to not only steal the map from the gang but to take the two diamonds that the gang was looking for. Dylan lampshades this after Zeebad took the second diamond in the temple. Also in the temple, Dougal accidentally tripping one of the alarm beams with his gobstoppers causing skeletons to burst out from underneath to try and attack him and the gang allows Zeebad the opportunity to take the second diamond while they are busy defeating the skeletons. Brian also causes Zeebad to go ahead of the gang further by accidentally letting slip the location of the third diamond which falls onto Zeebad's ears, where he openly gloats about where he'll get the third diamond from. When Brian reveals his mistake to everyone, they are none too pleased. | |

Mineral Macguffin: Dougal, Brian, Dylan, Train, and Ermintrude are tasked with retrieving and gathering three individually-colored magic diamondsnote The first diamond is blue, the second is yellow, and the last is red: if all three diamonds are placed in their individual slots in the Magic Roundabout, Zeebad's magic will come undone and the Roundabout will banish him back to his prison. Zeebad meanwhile seeks the diamonds so he can use them to freeze the sun itself. | |

Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Whilst being chased by Zeebad in a driller train, Dylan accidentally ejects Brian from Train by pressing a button that activates the ejector seat. This causes Brian to land on the roof of the driller train and ends up spilling the beans about the third diamond, due to being blindfolded by his scarf which lets Zeebad know where the heroes are going. | |

Foreshadowing: When Sam corners Dougal and his friends, Zebedee intervenes and says, "You may wear a soldier's uniform, Sam, but it's what's inside that counts" as he gestures to his own chest. Later, near the climax, the third diamond is revealed to be hidden inside Sam, as he is part of the Magic Roundabout, when Zeebad fatally wounds him. | |

Then, he is blasted off the cliff by Zeebad and left hanging for dear life from the ledge of Zeebad's lair. Zeebad blasts Zebedee off the ledge, sending him falling into the abyss right before Zebedee suddenly wakes up, revealing that it was only a bad dream. | |

Chekhov's Hobby | |
| The Magic Roundabout (2005) / int_ac5364fe | comment |
Chekhov's Hobby: When the gang stops in a cave for camp for the night before beginning their quest to travel to find the two diamonds, Ermintrude thinks that people would flock for an open-air Verdi festival and even does some opera singing to accommodate that. However, her high note is so loud that it causes icicles to fall and almost impale Brian, but one gigantic icicle crushes Dougal's bag of gobstoppers. Towards the climax, when Zeebad tries to zap Dylan, but he zaps Ermintrude's tail, causing her to scream in pain, resulting in a crack on the frozen carousel to form, giving Dougal an idea on how to free the children who are trapped in there. Dougal tells Ermintrude to sing; she does so and when she reaches the high note, most of the ice on the frozen carousel breaks apart. | |

Oh, Crap! | |
| The Magic Roundabout (2005) / int_ad1db87c | comment |
Oh, Crap!: Happens a lot: Zebedee, in his nightmare, before his nemesis Zeebad blasts him off into the abyss. Dougal, after he accidentally starts up the sugar cart and makes it zoom around the village. Florence, Basil and Coral all have one before they run onto the roundabout for safety. Everyone has one each when the roundabout spins out of control after the sugar cart exploded upon crashing into it. Even Mr. Rusty has one as the look on his face says it all before he quickly hops onboard the roundabout to try and shut it down. Dougal has one before Zeebad captures him in the night. The gang, when Zeebad corners them at the cliff of his own lair. The gang again, especially Dylan, when Zeebad suddenly arrives at the volcano to take the first diamond. Sam, when he realizes that he is causing the bridge to crumble very quickly and instantly dives to the ledge when Zeebad saves him. The gang all have one after Dougal accidentally caused one of his gobstoppers to trip one of the alarm beams guarding the second diamond where the skeletons burst out to try and attack them. The gang, when the skeleton overlord begins to chase after them. They have the same reaction again when the skeleton overload suddenly appears at the back of Train's carriage. The gang all have one when Zeebad tries to drill into Train's carriage. Sam begins to have one when he sees that this causes the pressure in the driller train's boiler to reach critical and eventually blow up. When the gang returns to the frozen village, they all have one as Zeebad is using three diamonds to freeze the sun. Zeebad has one when he sees that his icy magic is being undone after all three diamonds were placed in their slots on the roundabout and tries to escape the village before the magic from the roundabout drag him back to his prison. | |

Demoted to Extra: Florence's role in the film was reduced from being a deuteragonist to being a supporting character as she spends less screen time in the film due to being trapped in the frozen roundabout. Mr. Rusty was also reduced to being a supporting character as he was too being trapped in the frozen roundabout along with two other children Basil and Coral. The 2007 revival series has Florence resuming her role as the deuteragonist of the franchise. | |

He does reappear in the mines to try and attack the gang once more as they were on their way back to the Magic Roundabout before he gets smacked off Train's carriage by a low hanging support plank. | |

Flanderization | |
| The Magic Roundabout (2005) / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Flanderization: With the exception of Florence, Zebedee, Mr. Rusty, Mr. Grimsdale and the children, the characters fell in this in the American dub of the 2005 film where they have different and unfitting character personalities than in the original British and French versions of the film or the original series itself. For example, Dougal was flanderized as a fat, cowardly idiot. Fortunately, the 2007 revival series kept the characters in their original character personalities from the original series, albeit with a few modifications. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business | |
| The Magic Roundabout (2005) / int_e83f211c | comment |
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Dylan is usually laid-back and relaxed where he rarely gets upset, but in the climax of the film when Zeebad is freezing the sun with the three diamonds, Dylan finally snaps and hurls a snowball at Zeebad which provokes him. Ermintrude and Brian are visibly shocked and surprised when Dylan snaps. | |

| The Magic Roundabout (2005) / int_e96b33b9 | comment |
Loose Lips: Dougal unwittingly lets slip the information about the map when being interrogated by Zeebad who would later demand the group the map after taking the first diamond. Brian is also another one when he unintentionally gives away the third diamond's location as a result of being blindfolded by his scarf after landing on the driller train. | |

Big Damn Heroes: Just as when Dylan's attempt to use Zebedee's magic box to summon Train fails and when Zeebad is about to secure his victory, Train shows up out of nowhere just in time to run Zeebad over and knocking the diamond free from his grasp, giving Dougal the chance to knock the diamond in its slot on the roundabout in order to reverse everything that he caused at the start of the film. | |

Speaks Fluent Animal: In the American dub, when Doogal's friends happen upon the moose for the first time while searching for him, Brian reveals that he can speak Moose. This allows the moose to lead them to where Doogal is. | |

Product Placement: In the US redub, Dylan mentions two chocolate bars in one scene—Snickers and Three Musketeers. Later in the same redub, Zeebad fantasizes getting a Humvee after taking over the world. | |

Brick Joke: Dougal volunteers to "fix" the puncture of the tire of Mr. Grimsdale's sugar cart while he goes to get the things Dougal requested. Mr. Grimsdale does return at the end of the film with all the things Dougal requested, only to find Dougal on the Magic Roundabout who is hiding awkwardly from him. | |
