Details:

This is an odd item. The American Cancer Society sponsored this short animation to raise awareness about cancer in men. The first few minutes talk about the history of film and seem completely unrelated and disjointed. Eventually though, Mr. Magoo and Jim Backus himself, appear on screen and we're soon treated to an unusual educational video.

Kung-Fu Magoo

Released In: 2010, 77 Minutes

Details:

I was very surprised to see a modern release of Mr. Magoo. However, Jim Backus of course, is no longer alive and so the iconic voice of Mr. Magoo is played by an actor named Jim Conroy. Unfortunately, he's not a very convincing replacement and the purpose of Mr. Magoo in this animation is more of a supporting role, which is very disappointing.

Mr. Magoo

Released In: 1997, 87 Minutes

Details:

Leslie Nielsen is the king of slapstick comedy and known best for his roles in the Airplane and Naked Gun films. Therefore, he was the perfect fit for the live action reimagining of the near-sighted Mr. Magoo.

Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol

Released In: 1962, 53 Minutes
