In case you all are wondering, the show figures seen around the beginning of the video, were used for a new batch of episodes that premiered in France from 1989-1990 (some, if not all, of which were translated in English by Nigel Planer). Also, they say that the show was popular in every country, but now, any dub of the original series existing outside of French and English UK (apart from the Netherlands, Portugal, Germany, Italy, and the American dub for Pinwheel on Nickelodeon) is currently unknown... Nevertheless, it's too bad that we will probably never see a proper DVD release of the complete original series (that is, if Sophie or Emma Thompson don't support the idea as well)...
@@tppercival5295 I even started a Lost Media article for anyone who's interested: lostmediawiki.com/The_Magic_Roundabout_(partially_found_French_stop-motion_animated_series;_1963-1990)
Coperfield Productions, I’m not talking about France, I’m talking about a U.K. Blu Ray release with all of its Bonus features included from the 2005 2 Disc DVD.
Also, I made a Lost Media article, if anyone is interested in recovering recordings of lost episodes outside of the VHS releases: lostmediawiki.com/The_Magic_Roundabout_(partially_found_French_stop-motion_animated_series;_1963-1990)
And TP I know someone will find an exhibit with the original magic roundabout stop motion puppets in France or anywhere in the world I just hope that someone will find an exhibit or a place that can keep the magic roundabout stop motion puppets safe
Finally, I have this DVD myself, and I could see if I could possibly upload the French versions of the selected classic episodes (the series premiere episode, oddly doesn't have its French dub, but it's already uploaded here: ruclips.net/video/wc0Fz852UUU/видео.html).
As a kid I found the Eric Thompsoned Magic Roundabout deadly boring I wish we had had the original French version with English subtitles. It would have helped my French vocab as well as being more entertaining.

Yeah, we would like to see the complete original series on DVD.

TP Percival, I would also like to see a Blu Ray release of the 2005 film with audio commentaries by the filmmakers and the actors.
The Untitled Random Junk The movie was released on Blu Ray in France back in 2011

You know I just hope that the original magic roundabout stop motion puppets are in an exhibit somewhere in france or anywhere in the world
A lot of my older relatives grew up with the classic era since they were young. :)
5:36 I want that bird to be in the next CGI Magic Roundabout film.

6:54 If there's another CGI Magic Roundabout movie, there will be a prologue where young Florence first met Dougal.
There’s a reboot stop-animation tv series being released next year which will hopefully be a marriage of ideas from the 1964 and 2005 versions.

Do we know what Ivor Wood thought about the English version of the show?
Very good history
The makers of Doogal never learned from Serge Danot and Walt Disney themselves.
Wonder how The Magic Roundabout worked in the universe of the 2022 Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers movie?
I don't think so
Interesting!
Doogal is like Foodfight vandalizing Serge Danot's legacy.

Half of this is untrue, my friends.
Or at least 97%
How so?
