"ELLE-A-VATOR TO LOBBY"

[MrMbland]

Cool ,, love the shape of the plane , & the cop's shifty eye's ..

[seanalexanderdurand]

the wanting a man part by the cop was simplicity turned into pure genius.

[babyboo123b]

[Ghosthehedgehog3]

5:45 Awesomeness!

[shenloken2]

And Magoo breaks the fourth wall at the end of the cartoon. Lovely. :-3

[pittsburghpirates18]

[glinos123]

Funny

[john17972]

Its McCain!

[CopelandMeister]

I think Mr. Magoo and Professor Calculus would get along famously.

[serprimate]

HAHA! channell 52 in michigan in 1972

[isobodari1]

dam cops 

[mrbrockpeters]

Glad to see that airport security hasn't changed since the good ol' days!!!

[Newtwist75]

@mrbrockpeters Oh ho these airport employees are little fresh these days but I dont swing that way remove your hands my good sir-Mr Magoo to JFK airport TSA agent.

[Antorius1]

Isn't it a riot how much Barney Frank and Mr Mcgoo favor each other?..Ha,and the people from Mass. keep electing him!..Damn i know what they're smoking up there isn't that good is it?..But whatever it is please don't send any this way..

[LEADLAYER420]

Have you all seen the missing episode 1... i got it on my channel enjoy and thx to the uploader for this one.

[tavery80]

One of the most famous of the Magoo theatricals. And remarkably, then-topical references apply today (widescreen, the need for glasses, 3D, television).

As an FYI, the reason for the multiple "no need for glasses" references was that this cartoon was originally released in CinemaScope, and the advertising tagline for CS at the time was "No need for glasses", an attempt to exploit the then-popular 3D craze.

[612franklin]

Picasso, Monet, Caravaggio, they ain't got nothing on this. This be real 'Merican work of art. (God bless all the countries south of here)

[612franklin]

Magoo will save us from the terrorists AND the government. Go go Gophers, go go Magoo!

[karasnij]

tnb35... it's spelled plane, as in aircraft; not plain, as in regular.

[mrpunk327]

thees where the good days

[ftsjr]

Mr. Magoo. A wonderfully funny cartoon from the 50's/60's. As a child, I watched him all the time. Magoo's houseboy, Charlie, was a riot! That is, until the PC police got a hold of him and redubbed his voice from pigeon English into a British accent. That pretty much ruined the Charlie episodes. However, Magoo and his nephew Waldo are still tops with me!

[JA268]

Wish someone would upload more theatrical Mr Magoo cartoons

[gimiltock]

how did magoo get onto a plane with a fortune thingy

[newellgirl]

If Flying was only this much fun.. Politically incorrect?? what sheer bunkem..Mr Magoo was fantastic and Jim Bacchus's voice made it even better..thanks for posting Magoo..!

[xvoy2002]

I totally forgot about this cartoon.. hahaha... looking back this is totally politically incorrect. Its basically making fun of an old man who is blind.. hahaha. would never happend today!

[anglepegasi]

dont mess with mr magoo, he's so badass he can walk outside on the airplane one whole round.

[deekid311]

this nigga magoo is foolin'!

[moomoo1927]

this is my frist magoo that i have ever seen it's very funny and i like it alot!!!! X)

[sisudo21]

Oh Mr. Magoo, youre so silly

[DisneyVideos2000]

Well, sometimes this happens, too... luckily I have patience, so... perhaps I'll be getting that thing, then... since you don't want to help me... NO OFFENSE!

[DisneyVideos2000]

Well, why not try finding it E-Bay, they have lots of cheap things now! I've heard that the disc version of "Magoo's Arabian Nights" is under $5.00!

[tnb35]

tried it once

problem is i live on the other side of the world... so the delivery fee is 4 times bigger then the item it self

[SamECircle]

@DisneyVideos2000 Why don't you buy it and post it for us?

[DisneyVideos2000]

@SamECircle Oh, but I already did, laddie; also, I cannot figure out how to post the film, but I like to call it "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs: The 50th Anniversary Edition!"

[DisneyVideos2000]

Oh, well... that's okay then... but remember... no apology is necessary!

[DisneyVideos2000]

Excuse me, you don't happen to have "Magoo's Arabian Nights", do you?

[tnb35]

no, i had a very hard time finding it, i thought of buying it, but even that isn't a possibility... sorry

[pith191]

@DisneyVideos2000 its on youtube

[noahf67]

If WPIX dropped "Family Guy" in the evenings in favor of the classic "Magoo"

series, I'd have no complaints. The NYC Metro area could end up a little more civilized...and better humored.

[katietoontown12]

Animation Sooo Goood--too bad UPA stopped doing these.Oh Magoo You've done it Again!

[phonegalfitness]

wht an idiot lol

[gavkasso]

i'll find him cos...i'm a cop. ha ha

[YoshiFtJ]

@gavkasso That part was the best :D

[DAngelo136]

Mr. Magoo was introduced as a character in 1949."When Magoo Flew" won the Academy Award in 1954 for Short Subject. "Magoo's Puddle Jumper" won in 1956. UPA's animation studio closed in 1959.

[soulbrother47h]

you done it again n again 5 stars

[CrimsonGuardJay]

Totally realistic how he walks around casually on the outside of an airplane doing 250-300 mph.

[calenmiller]

actually a plane flies at 700 mph

[choff56]

try 300 to 400 miles an hour

[katietoontown12]

@calenmiller

Prop job not that fast. Remember this is 1954.

The animation Is Soo Goood---too m bad UPA stoned making 'em like this.

[phonegalfitness]

hahaaa i know riight? stoopid but still kinda funny lol..

[vidda2000]

2:35 is a very classic and perhaps the best part

[seigneurvoland666]

plane*

[mkmfilms2009]

brilliant- they don't make em like that anymore!!! so funny!

[fabioproductions]

what do u want? a man". me too" lmfao!!!

[circusriots]

@fabioproductions Yeah, that was good!! What a laugh this is. Got a good jolt too when Mr. Magoo went to the end of the wing!! :D

[spencnaz]

@fabioproductions did you catch the sly smile on the cop's face?

[drcoxcentral]

I honestly don't think Mr. Magoo could be made today the way everything politically correct but this is WAY more funnier than some of the junk they put out today.

[spencnaz]

@drcoxcentral "Political correctness is tyranny with manners" - Charlton Heston.

[dajokaman759]

@drcoxcentral disney XD made a new movie called kung fu magoo and its pretty funny but I like the old ones better

[lno2k6]

In later widescreen Magoo shorts-it will say at the title screen "Columbia Pictures Presents/A UPA Cartoon/Processed in Cinemascope".

[NicholasSkiles]

2:47

This is a kid's cartoon! :D

[jgbennie]

What a great inside joke at :58. Look at the one-sheet for the UPA production 'The Tattle Tale Heart' with Theodora Parmalee. Ted Parmalee directed UPA's 'The Tell Tale Heart'. It was made in 3D but was never screened in 3D so no glasses would have been required for it. That's spoofed on the poster, as 'The Tattle Tale Heart' advertises "No Glasses Needed".

[XenoAlex2222]

I Love this

jgbennie!

[spottyman]

thanks for the memories

[BloodyNickles]

im a cop lmao

[bellgardens53]

He he really funny. And he always get away with it whatever it is.

[Granitoons]

Love the ending!

[rockgor]

The plane looked like a turbo jet. The gas turbine powers a propeller rather than pushing the plane forward with its exhaust like a jet engine.

Back in the days when I was young and Magoo was new, a ticket bought two feature movies plus a cartoon, a short subject and maybe a travelogue, I would take a quarter to the movies.

That paid for admission, popcorn and a box of Jujubes. Got 3 cents change.

Now I haven't gone to the movies since "Stand By Me".

[outakontroll]

Oh yes, Those were the days My friend. and I feel sorry for those that missed that.

[palmercomm]

Yes. Now, a ticket costs around $8 ($6 for a matinee). And you have to pay at least $4 for a small popcorn. Can't tell what the prices are now.

[cmans79tr7]

1:59-2:10 The sound is of piston engines starting up (probably radials). I heard two start up, but that plane had four. Maybe one can only hear the engines starting up on the same side?

[trh2130]

Imagine Magoo encountering the TSA!

[palmercomm]

He'd probably confuse them with the THX salesmen.

[Dachshund]

That was the 1954 Oscar winner for best animated short.

[chepenudo]

Don't you just hate it when this happens to you?

[Liaizon]

I'm 23 years old and i never seen any cartoons this funny at all too bad they don't keep makeing Mr. Magoo..

[rnrhighschool]

Its John McCain!

[glory789]

lol

[SOScinema]

LOL nice

[rodrigomarban]

Beautiful cartoon. A worthy winner of the Oscar.

[Digitalfenix]

You need glasses lol :D

[wiley207]

Wow, the music for this cartoon was done by the same guy that did the music for the Hanna-Barbera cartoons!

[tychonb]

Fantastic movie:P

[NSugaBuga]

3D? More like Double D LoL How he get on w/ no tix? 'Oh this is a big place..' LoL

[Bassmaster3250]

its funny cuz he's blind!

[blue2elmer]

Loved the bit of dialogue between the "cop" and the airhostess. Sophisticated humor at its best. A bit of McArtheism maybe, everybody is a suspect. Even for just carrying a briefcase. Wonder if they had waterboarding back than, lol.

[MedabotsAbridged]

McArtheism? That's a strange spelling for it.

[MedabotsAbridged]

but i do agree

[Straycatz4]

LOL

[SignoreBoy]

By golly, this cartoon deserved that award. The ending was a hoot!

[7DARKHELLS]

First time I ever saw this one!Thanks for posting that was funny!

[leo81960]

As someone has already pointed out, this was an oscar winner. It was also in Cinemascope! Now that the the TV Magoos have finally been released on DVD, we can only hope the theatrical ones will follow - in their original formats!

I have an 8mm B&W silent, subtitled print of this (remember those?). After all these years it's a thrill to finally see this in color and hear it! I was especially struck by the non-Hollywood "indy" feeling of this film.

[canonet17]

Magoo won a few Oscars in the 1950s and bucked the trend of animation. WB and MGM copied some of UPA's style in their cartoons in the mid-late 1950s.

Also, I just have the TV Magoo cartoons on 8mm with subtitles in B&W too. Until YouTube, never have seen the color, theatrical, release Magoo Cartoons. Here's something interesting, Hoyt Curtain, who did the music here, later worked for Hanna-Barbera.

[canonet17]

This is funny. You can tell the difference between this, theatrical release, and the made-for-TV Magoo cartoons. The quality is no comparison.

[greenorbfree]

Mr magoo, an epic classic!!

[zrzr4]

No glasses needed lol.

[NipkowDisk]

Magoo- one of my all-time favorites! Being very nearsighted myself, he's one character I can readily identify with. Thank you for posting this!

[TechnoHajikelist]

I think he broke the 4th wall in the end by mentioning "If they ever showed cartoons about the short nearsighted man who went (Magoo mumblings)"

He pretty much described himself... that Magoo's done it again!

[loliny]

Anyone know where I can find 1001 Arabian Nights, starring Mister Magoo. A torrent by any chance??

[tnb35]

i looked for it every were but could not find it.

[MatthewtheY]

One of my favorite Magoo cartoons. The later ones in th series got pretty dull but this is one of the shorts in which I think they did the formula right (i.e. funny and entertaining). Warner storyman veteran Tedd Pierce receives story credit; that's certainly an advantage!

[LARRYGNOME]

thank you 4 uploading this :D

[tasdaphoney]

idiot

[fromthesidelines]

This, incidentally, won the Academy Award as "Best Cartoon of 1954".

[luudnoma]

i've seeking for info,trailers or anything else about a Magoo Movie Cartoon (from 1962,i suppose)called "The 1001 arabian nights" ( i'm not sure )Was a great long animation work, i can remember.

[Marbles471]

It's actually from 1959. I don't have it, though. I've been wondering where to find it, myself.

[lno2k6]

No-from January of 1955!

[Marbles471]

THIS cartoon is from 1955. I was talking about the feature "1001 Arabian Nights." That was released in '59.

[ILoveMisty]

OMG! I've been looking for this short forever!

Thanks for the upload. :)
