Have a gander at the trailer - it's rather smart in places, and Tom Baker plays an evil version of Zebedee. Surely this can't fail.

It actually looks quite funny. Way better than that 'Valiant' shite, but I cant help but think it'll flop on it's arse in the States, even if it does really well over here (like another British show-to-movie, Thunderbirds). And where was the actual roundabout?

[Liquid Myth]

I hope it does flop on it's arse. It looks horrific.

Could anything be more detached from the original in any way? What started off as a satire on French politics (original on French TV), to random stories about nothing (translated original on UK TV), to a cake-cutter fill in the blanks 3D animation (this guff)? Shee-ite.

[Dork Knight]

That looks bad, dont know if it's the quality of the clip or what.

And what target age is this aimed at?... Kids?... They aint gonna have a clue who they are, and I bet it sure as shit aint gonna be fucked up like the TV series

[Harlen Quinn]

Does Dillon still do drugs?

[Sabreman]

Curiously enough I have absolutely no fond memories or special place in my heart for The Magic Roundabout. Seems like yet another of those old things that I ought to like in a thoroughly ironic kind of way.

This is my father's generation of viewing, apart from the re-runs

sodding REAL MEDIA...

Too right it does.

There's been some really bad remakes over the past decade or so but this is looking like being the worst of the lot.

What next? Pob 3D? Playschool: The Revenge? Mr Benn vs. Gladiator?

[Burai]

I thought it looked promising, if only because the original series was so fucking awful - nicely designed characters doing fuck all for 10 minutes.

At least it looks like they have something to do now.

Pob 3D sounds fucking awesome.

[Liquid Myth]

Oh no. I've only just read the entire story on that link now. Behold:

The creator is plotting more stories for Mr Benn and plans are still afoot for a feature film.

A filum? About Mr. Benn?

Good grief!
