About Mr. Magoo
Mr. Magoo was first seen in 1949, in a theatrical cartoon called The Ragtime Bear, but it quickly became obvious who the real star of the show was.
Mr. Magoo’s creators were on their way out of Hollywood, having participated in a Disney animator’s strike, and the early adaptions of the character saw him ranting and raving in a particularly anti-social manner. Once the series was handed over to a new creative director, the character of Mr. Magoo became more likable – while still maintaining his penchant for causing havoc wherever he went.
The character was featured in two Oscar-winning short films, and it was clear that audiences loved this visually impaired, inexplicably wealthy, and somewhat crazy old man who just couldn’t seem to stay out of trouble. Over the years Mr. Magoo has also appeared in cartoons for television, a live-action film starring Leslie Nielson, and has even appeared in many advertisements for a range of companies including General Electric.
