Doogal Audience Reviews

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Madilyn Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
callofgameingpro Why would you bash this beautiful film. GO DIE IF YOU HATE THIS! There's so much great stuff like the main character dongle. He shows progression. At the star he just your average porn star then he becomes a porn director and steals the show. Then there's the infamous scene where dongle kill his brother for stealing his acting roll in... Aladdin and the 40 Horny Genie Whores. Man this is amazing.Lets address a few fools one guy says this is boring. Well the fact your still alive is boring.Dongle is my favorite porn star and porn star movie documentary thing anything less then a ten out of ten would be racist.
kelby393 So the creators of the Fairly Odd Parents were behind this American version - that explains EVERYTHING.Pros: the animation and graphics are quality standard. (British version, too)Cons: EVERYTHING ELSE! -First of all, the title "Doogal" - the British version was titled "The Magic Roundabout" and that title was just fine! Also the dog's name was originally spelled "Dougal" but then the American version had the spelling changed to "Doogal." STUPID, RIGHT?! Why???????-Story is terribly clichéd, and full of unexplained plot elements. Why are people STILL using the carousel when there's an evil being locked inside it? How did the main characters befriend Zebedee in the first place to be able to call him down from the sky whenever they want? Also the whole action plot seems to be just forced into the story and it just doesn't match the essence of the original French stop-motion series this movie was based on. (This goes for the British version, too.)-The American re-dubbing: Why why WHY in the world did they even bother re-dubbing over the original British version?? I'm sure we Americans would be able to understand the British version just fine! (And if not, there's always closed captions, right?) This wouldn't be such a big problem if the casting wasn't so screwed up! Whoopi Goldberg voicing the cow for instance - her speaking voice does NOT match the cow's opera-singing voice at all! So obviously mismatched it hurts!! And the kid voicing Doogal is just annoying and it's a Completely different voice from the one in the trailers. (Even though that voice didn't fit Doogal so well.) There's even a moose in the American version that TALKS (voiced by Kevin Smith) when the moose in the British version was SILENT. Unnecessary acting, right?? Everyone else in the cast is talented and/or at least trying, but alas, their efforts are wasted. Poor Ian McKellen and Judi Dench.-Soundtrack: Yes, there are pointless pop songs in this that come right out of nowhere and don't match the essence of the story at all. Yuck. (British version is guilty of this too.)-"Captain Obvious" narration - Judi Dench as narrator (this version and British version) does a good job at first, but then after the main group of characters set out to gather three crystals to trap Zeebad back into the carousel (I know, just go with it), she goes overboard and starts describing things the audience can CLEARLY see for themselves. At one point in the volcanic region, she says "The path was very, var far. The path was very very narrow. The lava was very very hot." When we clearly SEE the train going on that long, narrow path over hot boiling lava! So yeah most of the narration gets pointless and just terribly annoying after that.-References: Yes, this movie either references or outright RIPS OFF other movies like in a quote from Pulp Fiction (in a kid's movie???), Pirates of the Caribbean (skeletons attacking), Halo, Harry Potter, that "It's Hammer Time!" thing wherever that came from, and CSI - and it's so forced and painful it's not even funny. When the group is in the cave or something and gets attacked by skeletons, one of them says "Pirates of the Caribbean!" and then somebody else actually says "Hey, I thought we said no Disney jokes!" Then why did you PUT this joke in, you idiots!?! Most of all, Lord of the Rings gets ripped off the most - yeah, with that whole "My precious!" blue crystal part, Zeebad saying he's the "Lord of the Springs," and the part with Zebedee falling to his death (Zebedee being voiced by GANDALF who met the same fate in Fellowship of the Ring, no less!) Good God, this movie sucks sucks SUCKS so much it cant even come up with it's own original story without ripping off every other BETTER movie out there!!-Characters: The characters just aren't interesting. They're flat and undeveloped, and Doogal is a terribly unlikable mutt who started this entire thing by trying to STEAL candy! Then he goes and takes EVERYONE with him and lets THEM do all the work to solve the problem while he just lazes around! Worst of all, this is never resolved. Great opportunity for character development LOST.Some people say the British version is better, but I disagree - it's the same lame quality. Neither version is really worth your time.Overall rating: 3/10 (only because of the quality animation)
abrown975 I usually do my best reviews with lists. So here are all the mistakes the movie made, sealing its doom at the box office: 1) Just right off the bat, never EVER say "From the creator of 'The Fairly Odd Parents'" because not only is that show horrible for children, but that just shouts out "HEY! WANNA COME AND HEAR SOME FART JOKES?!" instead of just a regular trailer. I mean, I was a kid when I saw that in the trailer and even then that was a foreshadow for a plain old suck movie.2) The humor just bombed. And I am not kidding (seriously, I'm not) when I say Beverly Hills Chihuahua or The Cat In the Hat is ten times funnier than this tall glass of diarrhea. Most of it is just references to movies and shows, but they're poorly placed and poorly written. Christ, at least Family Guy manages to make me laugh when they make references like that. And after stocking up the shelves with failed attempts at references, they plug up every last nook and cranny with farts and stupid puns (For instance- "I've got a BONE to pick with you" while fighting with skeletons). Jesus, I did not laugh once, not even when I was seeing this for the first time when I was a kid! No lies! 3) The acting was horrible. And that's saying something, considering this was an animated movie, because it is near impossible to overact in a cartoon. Yet, this was an all-star cast! So how could they have completely hammed up the movie? My guess would be in the writer's department. Sometimes it's not the actors, it's the dialogue. But, the bottom line is a pig could be roasting a pig that's eating another pig and it would still be less hammy than this movie.I will say that the British version of this movie (the original, actually) has better acting and better jokes/dialogue, so if you were going to see one of the movies, see that one. But all I see this movie as is another reason Butch Hartman is just a hack that thinks jotting down any poop joke that pops into his head and turning it into an episode of The Fairly Odd Parents counts as writing a children show. This movie deserves a 1/10, because I will say in its defense that it does take a lot of work for a movie this horrible to get such an all-star cast. They must have some kind of dirt on all of them or something because something tells me none of them participated in this movie deliberately. Christ Almighty, this movie was crap.
jenkolb Doogal! You've got to love that title. It's amazing. The movie, well I didn't see much of it or pay attention to the plot, but it's Doogal! Doogal Doogal Doogal DOOGAL. I got captivated in his glory. It's like when you're watching the clouds fly by while sitting on your back wondering if that cloud is a Doogal or that other cloud is a Doogal. DOOGAL! To describe the movie a bit, it's about a dog named Doogal (Doogal!) who tries to save his town from an evil ring, sort of like Lord of the Rings but with a Doogal! The plot was pretty awful, but you can forgive it because it's Doogal! Make sure you yell Doogal whenever you're in public, it lightens everyones day. DOOGAL! 10 out of 10.
