​@@leet7489No, people have become too thin skinned. They take offense at EVERYTHING, even when they KNOW no offense was meant. And BESIDES, these SAME people are THEMSELVES pushing racial stereotypes that are JUST as racist as anything from the past..... they're just doing so about WHITE people. But nobody Today is complaining about WHITE stereotypes, or bigotry against white people. Why? Because they're WHITE. If that isn't the definition of racism, I don't know what could be. The double standards need to STOP. Either it's offensive no matter WHO it's aimed at, or it's ACCEPTABLE no matter who it's aimed at. Only THEN will there TRULY be equality. If you want to know who's TRULY in control, take a good look at who you can't criticize without retaliation..... THAT'S who is REALLY in control. Food for thought.🤔

The Mr. Magoo ""Christmas Carol" is the best.

Mr Magoo was always laughing and didn't seem to think he had any disability. I never thought of him as having a disability, just a nice older gentleman.

And since cartoon characters exist in the world that they think exists (you can run off the side of a cliff and keep going if you don’t look down) Magoo’s nearsighted vision can be seen as a superpower because it shields him from the fear of real dangers.

I grew up with Mr Magoo Never thought of anything racist. 😂😁👍

Jim Backus as Mr Howell in Gilligan's Island is actually the voice of Mr Magoo. A great cartoon character not racist, he just have severe visual impairment making him almost blind.

Was about to post that sucks too be me for watching it late lol

One of the funniest things about Mister Magoo was when Jim Bacchus would tell dirty jokes in Mister Magoo's voice during breaks between scenes on Gilligan's Island.

My favorite Mr. Magoo film is the Hotsy Footsy. Magoo goes to the Rutgers Alumni party and draws his friend Charlie’s wife Frances as his partner. She hides and he, thinking he is going to the dance floor, winds up at a wrestling match where he wrestle Francis the terrible, I’ll never forget the sight (no pun intended) of Mr. Magoo bouncing of the ropes and winding up on the wrestler’s back, dancing the jitter bug. People aren’t laughing at Magoo for something he can’t help. He’s not blind, he’s nearsighted and it is inferred that he could see if he wore glasses but he’s too vain, proud or just can’t concede that he isn’t right about everything.

O man I remember watching this at school with 100 other kids in the lunch room

I had a long time friend who was legally blind. We had been friends for some time before l even realized this. She learned how to compensate and did not encourage people to treat her any differently. Mr. Magoo never came up in our conversations but l am sure she would have gone along with it.

Still remember a Mr Magoo Christmas where he played the Scrooge character. It had songs by some well known composers

I grew up watching Mr. MAGOO, daffy Duck, & others. I liked watching and learning no matter the circumstances One Could succeed. . . Dont care for political parties messing with Our freedom to choose. Leave us alone to choose what we want to watch, what we want 2do individually-- leave government out of entertainment world dictating what they think our views are 2B.

WOW I loved mr.magoo ❤️. Loved tot movie too! Didn’t realize all the controversy 🤨

Years and years ago my hubby and I were on vacation and he was driving. He was driving erratically and I flipped open the glove box and started rifling through it. He finally asked, “What are you looking for?” And I answered, “Your driver’s license that says your name is Mr. Magoo.” And then I laughed and laughed. 😬😂😂😂

Some people just have no sense of humour. They also don’t get satire. How sad!

You SHOULD have mentioned Mr Magoo's Storybook, where each episode dramatized a classic novel, with Magoo playing one of the main characters(and playing it STRAIGHT!) An interesting method of enticing kids to actually READ the story portrayed; at the end of each show, there was a blurb for kids to "visit your local library"

Mr. Magoo aired in the 1970s when I was a kid attending elementary school. Never once did I or other kids think the character represented anyone but himself; just as we knew one teacher was "nice" and another was "mean". However, society did indeed seem to think people in wheelchairs needed to be spoken to more loudly or more slowly, which we know better today. The issue is that in my schools growing up, there was a special classroom dedicated to the deaf and blind students. Many of us knew those students personally as friends, and it was through this exposure that we learned the actual reality of those students. We asked questions and learned, but today such things would be "politically incorrect" and "offensive". It wasn't though, because we were friends as kids who explored each other's humanity and life, as kids do. Mr. Magoo was pretty much irrelevant to all of it, and as a kid I didn't "get it" where the cartoon was concerned, it was not entertaining.

As a child, I looked forward to the annual broadcast of the 1962 "Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol." It used to be on television every year.

I used to watch them

12:34 I loved Mr. Magoo. I grew up in the 70s and mostly remember the cartoons being shown after the afternoon movie and before the evening news. I think he was just going about his own business, not bothering anybody. He read signs wrong and went about his way. He only became annoyed if he thought someone got in his way or they tried to re-direct him to keep him from harming himself or others. He laughed at himself if he realized he was just being silly. At the end of the cartoon he'd say Oh Magoo, you've done it again ! I just watched the cartoons, but didn't sit there picking it apart asking is he being racist or offending the vision impaired or whatever. It's a CARTOON. People need to quit being so sensitive over a cartoon.

I LOVE MR. MAGOO AND CHOLLY. THANKS CHANNEL.

We liked Mr Magoo! We NEVER took it as anything other than funny! NEVER have I EVER taken it as how all blind people are… People just seem to be unhappy unless they “offended” about something! It’s a CARTOON! I just thought him of a little old man that happened to have terrible vision… So why aren’t “old” people offended?! Oh my goodness… 🤦🏼‍♀️

Oh yes I forgot to be offended as an old person. By George, I’ll call my nephew Waldo and we’ll get to the bottom of this….

What I remember most about Mr Magoo, is when, at least in the Washington DC area, Ronald MacDonald (Then being portrayed by weatherman Willard Scott) hosted Mr Magoo movies based on Classic novels. Treasure Island; Count of Monte Cristo etc...

This is so ridiculous. Forget about some of the garbage on TV now that should be banned

I own the complete collection and he is an old man with vision issues. I love it and it is not offensive.

I’d be really interested in hearing more about the history and evolution of the UPA studio. Any chance we could get a video on that topic?

They had some of the best characters in cartoons. I wish they were still around to watch.

I got Mr..Magoo on dvd. The old ones. Only missing the Xmas Carol one and then I have all the old ones.

I loved Mr magoo Jim Backus was great I remember watching Mr magoo on Saturdays and on the bozo show out of Chicago

Mr. Magoo was a TV series using real people and his voice was used in the animation versjen.I remember it when I was a kid.Always wondered what happened to the TV.Show mister magoo with the real people person

*Cartoons, Baby* *Boomers, baby* *sitter* 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I remember watching it when I was a kid

This cartoon reminds me of slower better times. Shud not be offensive. Always seeming to get rid of the good things of the 70s

In 1977,there was a cartoon series called What's New, Mr. Magoo?It lasted for one season.Mr. Magoo is good.

My mother's favoite Mr. Magoo cartoon was Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol which came out in 1962.

Um...i got Kertaconus and considered blind yet I love, watch and even play Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol every year!!❤

I enjoyed Mr. Magoo cartoons as a child. I never thought of racism once nor did I ever make fun of anyone that was seeing impaired. We just got a good old fashioned laugh!! Same thing with looney tunes!! I think kids of every generation should watch these hysterical cartoons!! They probably won’t get the jokes but it doesn’t matter.

Y'all need a pacifier if you need a disclaimer for SATIRE

I Think Mr magic was funny I have had.eye problems since I was a child ! I am 76 and I always loved the cartoons .

I love the Mr. Magoo Christmas Carol and his adaptation of Frankenstein.

A national organization for the blind. Was against the movie they can't see.... I don't even have to write this it writes itself.. 😅😅😅

I loved Mr. Magoo as a kid. The critics of Mr. Magoo are as near-sighted as the man himself.

I loved Mr Magoo. I would love to see those cartoons again.

I don't think Mr. Magoo is offensive. However what I don't like about him, is every cartoon has a one joke premise that gets tiresome very quickly (IOW, stupid, yes; offensive, no).

This was one of the cartoons I really loved as a kid ! It definitely was a different time ! Over reaction, perhaps ? Humor is sure in the eye of the beholder.

Oh Magoo you've done it again!!! 😅

I guess you could sum it up by "didn't age well" like some other fun cartoons in the past! Like Professor Goo Fee and Gung Ho from the Fearless Fly cartoons! Jim Backus was also popular in the 50s as one half of the sitcom "I Married Joan" with Joan Davis.

I liked Mr Magoo 😊😊

Sister of that< picture...not racist, the cartoon "A Christmas Carol so fun and geared for kids...the 50's version with Alistair Sim may have been too strong for kids then, though it's my favorite!! You should see the bugs bunny and popeye cartoons about WW11....Jerry Lewis did the stereotype too...as kids, we didn't care ..but it was Hitler we didn't like...it was Hitler!! Daddy served thru WWII and we understood....Anyway, I love Japan!!! Even their vending machines are amazing, and I want to visit!! Wonderful people❤

I treasure my little Mr. Magoo wizard doll that I found in a thrift store years ago💜

Mr. Magoo was my father's favorite cartoon

Great cartoon. Love Mr. Magoo!

All I'm going say is that:The New Generation needs to wake up and smell the coffee Because Mr.Maggo fans are here to stay!! 🤘😁🤘

Thanks to health care I was blind at 62 cataracts.. Too

Why do people quote the reviewer number from Rotten Tomatoes? it is the viewer rating that is important.

Wish Mr Magoo was still on

Love mr magoo

I remember watching it when I was a kid 😍😍😍

I liked MR Magoo cartoons thought they were pretty funny. My mother even had a MR Magoo doll in her collection. I know my eyesight is bad and not ashamed of it I always tell my friends in joking me and Mr Magoo have the same eyesight makes everyone laugh. The people I work around who don't know Mr Magoo I tell them the voice was the guy Mr Howell on Gilligan's Island and they go oh ok now I know who your talking about. But I can see where people would get upset by him and the film was horrible

That's B.S. Jim Bacus wouldn't do it if it was racist or offensive towards the blind

Why was they banned?

It wasn't political correct

I found my old Mr. Magoo comic book a few years ago, I remember it being from the early 80's, maybe the comics themselves were actually from the 70's, though. As soon as I saw Charlie ny jaw dropped. I forgot about that. And the weird part is that he was portrayed in a sympathetic way. No offence was intended, unlike a lot of other sterotyped characters I remember from other cartoons, for example, Japanese portrayed as villians as late as the 50's. I think they meant well with this character, but didn't realize that the blatant stereotypes would be offensive....and WOW! They totally are offensive when you see it now.

Forgot Canfields Soda too

I Love Mr. Magoo he is my all time favorite there was nothing wrong with the cartoon...Everything now is always being twisted to negatively it's really sad

Boy this Sucked the Fun and Life out of one my good childhood memories..😒

We don't talk about the film

I'd like to have a Mr. Magoo action figure for my collection!!!😊

As a visually impaired person myself I love Mr Magoo. People need to get a grip!

Sorry-I grew up watching Mr Magoo-just like Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry, & The Three Stooges-all now whom are banned-this is entertainment, nothing else-these people need to calm down.

I have the Xmas Carol on vhs though

I didn’t know if those were banned I think there was a TV show that or movie

I love Mr. MaGoo, always have and I am legally blind....20/250 vision

Mr Maggi was so cute.

I loved Mr. Magoo. it was fun to see how he'd misinterpret his location and things. So yeah, Disney was right about the movie. But you say the cartoons were pulled from syndication in the 1960s? Because I remember watching them in 1970s, And Charlie was very prominent with his appearance and terrible accent. I liked Charlie, his devotion to Magoo was so great he'd go with him no matter what crazy and difficult things it put him through. "I like mustard, buster!" Pow! Not sure I understand what the NFB had against him. Magoo might have technically been blind, but he could obviously see well enough to function, even if he didn't see clearly. Being offended doesn't give someone the right to have things banned.

Magoo wasn't even UPA's worst offender. Anyone remember the DICK TRACY series from the late 60s? THAT was offensive. Magoo...if there was a problem, it was that he was a one-joke character, and the one joke wore out pretty quickly.

Everyone has there own hang ups da man cansee his nose much less anything else ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

❤❤

I find current Disney offensive

I never really liked this cartoon. Mr. Magoo always got on my nerves his silly out takes was over the top. I always changed the channel if he was on

Thought he was great.

I enjoyed Mr. Magloo

I really dislike people who loved to be outraged. It’s boring when only straight, white and healthy men can be the butt of jokes.

Who told the blind people about the movie?

If Chuck Jones was so contemptuous of "the so-called UPA school," why did his Warner Bros. cartoons emulate it so much? Why did he (and his wife) write the script for UPA's second feature "Gay Purr-ee"? Cholly (that's how it's spelled in the model sheet) may not be the most politically advanced character by contemporary standards, but at least he wasn't the villain like the ethnic stereotypes in the Dick Tracy cartoons UPA was making at the same time. Anyway, such characters are woke porn: they provide endless amusement for uptight liberals (as opposed to the other kind who can accept these cartoons as relics of an unchangeable past, or ignore them altogether) who get their jollies being offended and seeking admiration and congratulation for pointing out "racist" content.

everyone’s a forever victim there in the US that’s why gaming and entertainment suffers.

I’m legally blind and there is nothing wrong with Mr. Magoo. It’s a very very funny cartoon people need to stop making something out of nothing.

Can't racially profile, yet we're supposed to give special treatment to certain social groups. What a bunch of confounding hypocrisy. "... open the imagination instead of bringing back a 30 year old cartoon..." I guess that person hasn't listened to the litany of poorly covered songs these days as well as movie redos with a twist of political propaganda. My opinion: If you can't laugh at yourself, you most likely need to see a shrink and get a happy pill.

Mr. Magoo is a boomer thing that probably most milennials know from the live action movie. I doubt anyone under 30 knows. who he is

Cartoons from teh 50 and 60's were the greatest. Cartoons today suck because you can't have humor now. I see a lot of similarities between McGoo and Biden.

Mr Magoo now runs the country.

Nothing racist with Mr. Magoo!!

So, humor isn't one of the senses that is enhanced in the absence of sight. The sign for Democrat and the sign for stupid are the same, so the deaf seem to have enhanced humor. 🤔
