The Magic Roundabout (2005) - A Magical History 

In case you all are wondering, the show figures seen around the beginning of the video, were used for a new batch of episodes that premiered in France from 1989-1990 (some, if not all, of which were translated in English by Nigel Planer). Also, they say that the show was popular in every country, but now, any dub of the original series existing outside of French and English UK (apart from the Netherlands, Portugal, Germany, Italy, and the American dub for Pinwheel on Nickelodeon) is currently unknown... Nevertheless, it's too bad that we will probably never see a proper DVD release of the complete original series (that is, if Sophie or Emma Thompson don't support the idea as well)...

A lot of my older relatives grew up with the classic era since they were young. :)

6:54 If there's another CGI Magic Roundabout movie, there will be a prologue where young Florence first met Dougal.

5:36 I want that bird to be in the next CGI Magic Roundabout film.

Also, I made a Lost Media article, if anyone is interested in recovering recordings of lost episodes outside of the VHS releases: lostmediawiki.com/The_Magic_Roundabout_(partially_found_French_stop-motion_animated_series;_1963-1990)

You know I just hope that the original magic roundabout stop motion puppets are in an exhibit somewhere in france or anywhere in the world

Very good history

And TP I know someone will find an exhibit with the original magic roundabout stop motion puppets in France or anywhere in the world I just hope that someone will find an exhibit or a place that can keep the magic roundabout stop motion puppets safe

Doogal is like Foodfight vandalizing Serge Danot's legacy.

The makers of Doogal never learned from Serge Danot and Walt Disney themselves.

Wonder how The Magic Roundabout worked in the universe of the 2022 Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers movie?

Do we know what Ivor Wood thought about the English version of the show?

Finally, I have this DVD myself, and I could see if I could possibly upload the French versions of the selected classic episodes (the series premiere episode, oddly doesn't have its French dub, but it's already uploaded here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wc0Fz852UUU.html).

Interesting!

As a kid I found the Eric Thompsoned Magic Roundabout deadly boring I wish we had had the original French version with English subtitles. It would have helped my French vocab as well as being more entertaining.

Half of this is untrue, my friends.
