The eyesight-challenged Mr. Magoo is back in Kung Fu Magoo, the first new Magoo production in more than 30 years.
The all-new animated feature will be released May 11 on DVD and through the iTunes store by Classic Media
Kung Fu Magoo sees Mr. Magoo compete against the world’s worst villains in an “Evil-lympics” tournament, with the help of his nephew Justin.
The film features the voices of Dylan and Cole Sprouse, Alyson Stoner, Kenny Mayne and Chris Parnell.
“We’re so excited to work with such a talented cast and crew to produce Mr. Magoo’s most recent action-packed mishaps and misadventures,” said Robert Mayo, senior VP and GM of home video for Classic Media.
Mr. Magoo first appeared as the star of UPA’s animated short film The Ragtime Bear in 1949. Voiced by Jim Backus, the character appeared in several TV series, specials and a live-action movie.
