The Famous Adventures of Mr. Magoo - Doctor Frankenstein 1965

[@mosriteminioncause7741]

Wonderful version of the Mary Shelley Classic ...vaguely remember it from my childhood... I really remember The Christmas Carol Cartoon....I was 4 in the hospital with 103 degree temp and dehydration...that movie took my mind of my problems! ..... They were WONDERFUL people who made this!

[@MrBlueSkyof1607]

I’ll be darned! A semi-accurate adaptation of the Mary Shelley book... and it’s from Mr. Magoo of all people.

[@jorgelopez-pr6dr]

With all due respect to Mary Shelley, this version is better.

[@rogerrendzak8055]

I kinda was thinking, the Robert DeNiro, movie version, of which is closely kept, to the book.

[@dontaylor7315]

​@@rogerrendzak8055 I agree. The film with DeNiro as the monster is the only one I know of that pretty much does the book.

[@danielpitti6030]

This cartoon adaptation always gave me The impression could have been the script for a great love action take on Shelley's classic; a period setting story with a contemporary Sci Fi twist as an alegory of the dangers of the misuse of Science & technology , doesnt the big explosion at the end could be a hint of the rising of the atomic age? And there are parallels between Doctor Robert Oppenheimer and the A bomb/ Victor Frankenstein and his famous homunculus

[@danielpitti6030]

The early 1990s tv movie with Patrick Bergin as Doctor Frankenstein and Randy Quaid as the monster is really cool

[@FCSchaefer]

Truly a forgotten classic, and a pretty damn scary for its time.

[@rogerrendzak8055]

Superb👏😁!!! Excellent storyline, with animation, make this terrific, short movie picture, a classic.

[@myndstorm]

mr. magoo's frankenstein is perfection. and his christmas carol is perfect

[@fromthesidelines]

It was because of "Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol" that this series was created. If he could successfully portray "Ebenezer Scrooge", what could he do for an encore? Several encores, in fact. 😃

[@sadlobster1]

Robin Hood, This and Christmas Carol are my favorite Magoo performances

[@danielpitti6030]

Gunga Din, and Moby Dick!

[@fairnorth2733]

BACK IN 1965 I WAS IN THE THIRD GRADE. AT THAT TIME I WAS OFTEN ON PUNISHMENT FOR BEING A VERY BAD BOY ! ALL WEEK LONG I WAS WAITING FOR THAT WEEKEND THAT THIS EPISODE WAS BROADCAST HERE IN NEW YORK CITY ON NBC-TV CHANNEL 4. BUT THAT WEEKEND I MISBEHAVED AGAIN AND WAS PUNISHED AGAIN AND MISSED THIS EPISODE. FROM TIME TO TIME OVER THE YEARS I WONDERED ABOUT THIS EPISODE. TODAY I HAVE SEEN IT !!!! FANTASTIC !!!! THANK YOU From The Basement FOR POSTING THIS GREAT EPISODE FROM A GREAT FORGOTTED TV SERIES !!!! THE PUNISHMENT IS NOW OVER !!!! THANK YOU YOU/TUBE !!!!

[@mitchelnorton2692]

I remember this from when I was just a kid. Scared the crap outta me. LOL, pretty cool running across this blast from the past.

[@jennifersman7990]

I loved these when I discovered them as a kid, they were so different from other cartoons I'd love to see more

[@jorgelopez-pr6dr]

A pity Rankin Bass classics didn't do one episode from this novel.

[@georgebethos7890]

Oh Magoo. You've done it again

[@stephenholloway6893]

This was one of the best episodes of the series.

[@aniburns329]

Jim Backuss was perfect for MrMagoo, just as he was in Gilligan's Island.

[@satyrosphilbrucato9140]

This scared the crap out of me when I was a little kid. :D

[@JohnDoe-cx3gu]

Satyros Phil Brucato same

[@jorgelopez-pr6dr]

It is the scariest adaptation I have seen for cartoons.

[@petergant1379]

Awww, poor baby! I'm kinda surprised, but, even if I've never seen this before, it's Mr. Magoo, he was only scary when he was driving!

[@petergant1379]

This is pretty good, ESPECIALLY for Mr. Magoo.

[@Ocongate]

And that´s why I still remember it dearly. I´m 53 and write, among other topics, about comics and animation. This was a wonderful version of a classic. The sound direction and the image of the creature at the beginning... truly a work of art.

[@robbk1157]

I remember bein in kindergarden and all the classes met in the library to watch Mr Magoo from the big reel to reel projector. Ahhh...life goes by.

[@jameshanson536]

One of the funniest episodes I can remember is where Magoo stumbles into a cave of hibernating bears and wakes them all up. The animation of that sequence was hilarious. I would love to see that cartoon again!

[@J_Z666]

My childhood right there

[@svenmartin840]

I saw this cartoon when I was very young. And also I have read the book. I also saw Boris Karloff Frankenstein. Those are the only two accurate depictions of the book. Not only did it inspire one of the greatest Creations in sci-fi fiction the Daleks. Davros's who created the Daleks. And just like Dr Frankenstein the creation turned on him

[@CMHism]

This was on the Disney Channel in the late 90s when I was a kid.

[@careyhunt1857]

This is closer to Shelley's Frankenstein than most Hollywood movies.

[@doodahbagel]

Actually I found this adaptation to be as far removed from Mary Shelley's novel as the rest of the cinematic films. Entertaining nonetheless.

[@dickdastardly1104]

I don't think it is. I don't remember any stories or movies where the monster was able to make more like himself. Also, there was no Elizabeth, Dr. Frankenstein's girlfriend.

[@EdBoy1215]

Man, that was clearly the darkest ending to any Mr. Magoo cartoon. That's "Frankenstein" for you.

[@jarofdirt8359]

The captain kid one was pretty dark too it ended with Magoo getting hung

[@EdBoy1215]

@@jarofdirt8359 Brr. Haven't seen that one. Hope it at least happened offscreen.

They should have made one of Dracula or Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

[@alanstrong55]

Loved that show. Died too soon.

[@theorca5173]

One could say Dr. Frankenstien was like the scientists from Jurrasic park, he was so preoccupied about whether he could do it, he didn't stop and think if he should. People can already create new life, why would we need to do it artificially like Frankenstein's way?

[@Gunganfan]

"Everyone in the world has a loved one they'd like to see come back to life. That's just human nature."

[@dickdastardly3340]

@@Gunganfan He wasn't trying to bring back a loved one, he just wanted to show he was smart enough to pull it off.

[@theorca3275]

Frankenstein wasn't trying to bring back a loved one, he was trying to create life, like he said play God.

[@jorgelopez-pr6dr]

The same happened with Griffin ( the invisible man) and Dr. Moreau.

[@gnuPirate]

Thanks very much for this !!! Had this on VHS as a kid. Watched it till the tape wore out. So horrific ! Great animation.

[@juanmanuelparadacontreras9565]

Una grata sorpresa ver de nuevo esta serie animada tan singular en recrear los clásicos más importantes de la literatura. Todo un gran acierto de su momento en quedar ahora inmortalizado tan extraordinarias aventuras a la cabeza de Míster Magoo en protagonizar.

I remember watching these Mr. Magoo cartoons based on classics and they were very enjoyable. Thank you for uploading these gems.

[@johnomosley2838]

[@MichaelSimmons.]

As good as this is, I'd have to say my favorite, is Magoo's version of, "A Christmas Carol."

[@jorgelopez-pr6dr]

This one scared me the most.

[@TheDarkThunder]

Magoo must be a good actor, he has his blocking and lines down so tight, he doesn’t even need to see.

[@jeffreyfundales997]

[@arober9758]

Splendid job guys!!

[@XX-sp3tt]

While Adam in the book did murder innocents, he only targeted people who were dear or close to Victor, because revenge for cursing him with a isolated and incomplete existence is what drove him... and at the end realized he'd become the monster his creator thought him as.

[@shanerothery]

Do any of you know anything about the (flute and oboe?) music that starts around 14:57? Whether it is original music or an existing piece? It is mesmerizing and I want it.

[@tarynmullins-smith1716]

I LOVE DOCTOR FRANKENSTEIN.

[@EdBoy1215]

You have to admit, the scene from 8:53 to 10:20 could fit in a more comedic classic episode of Mr. Magoo.

[@robertyglesias9673]

I remember an episode with Dick Tracy

[@jennifersman7990]

That was another classic, I like to think of it as an unofficial pilot for the Magoo series because it had him as a world famous actor recruited by Dick Tracy to impersonate another criminal named “Squinty Eyes”. I think it was the only Tracy cartoon that was truly faithful to the comic strip as it had Pruneface, Flattop, Itchy and Mumbles in it. The other Dick Tracy cartoon series had very little in common with the comic strip

[@BrotherDerrick3X]

@@jennifersman7990 it had Mr. Magoo as himself, and as Squinty Eyes.

[@robertmoroney3461]

Superior Magoo classic. I only wish they had finished last of the Mohicans and frontier stories like David Crocketts how I shot that bear. The NBC prime time series was supposed to have an American literary empathis.

[@JaguarCats]

Question, the monster was being hunted and was sighted on the island. Why didn't they send an army after him then? Plothole aside, this is a good retelling. And to think this came from a character that was normally comical!

[@tracimarks8009]

Frankenstein pronounced "formulae" correctly. Impressive.

[@petergant1379]

This is pretty good, ESPECIALLY for a Mr. Magoo cartoon! It's got moments of suspense, BUT, it's hardly terrifying, especially at my age!

[@dickdastardly1104]

The monster sure didn't look like Boris Korloff. I guess Magoo won't be doing the bride of Frankenstein.

[@Dinobolt1]

The ending renders that story pretty much impossible in this continuity.

[@TheCow-j1l]

this scared the shit out of me as a kid

[@Rgoid]

Braiking from Casshan was based on the monster

[@Rgoid]

I could swear the monster here was voiced by Ted “Lurch” Cassidy.

Actually Marvin Miller voiced the monster. He was later The Commissioner in the Inspector shorts starting in 1967.

These were the Mr. Magoo cartoons my local station ran when I was a kid. Always thought they were great. I didn't see the earlier 60's Magoo cartoons until much later in life. Can't believe how awful they were compared to these.

[@jennifersman7990]

Right, these were very smartly done

[@jennifersman7990]

Antony Andre' / renaissance artist and artisan Geez, lighten up! The point Foxonion was making was that the early Magoo cartoons are basically one joke stretched out to 20 minutes. These cartoons had a real story adapted from classic literature and are just as good now
