Jhoanna Robledo of [[Common Sense Media]] gave this film 2 out of 5 stars, saying that "the plot, as it were, is nearly nonsensical, but that has always been Mr. Magoo’s charm. Though he wreaks havoc with his obliviousness -- he often walks into a dangerous situation simply because he literally walks into one -- he successfully extricates himself and saves the world in the process. On the face of it, it’s a nostalgic trip to cartoon history -- Magoo {{sic|fir|st|nolink=y}} debuted in the late '40s, and the special effects are certainly pre-CGI -- and it's a welcome relief from the relentlessness and inanity of current fare. But if one must be a stickler, it's also kind of mean, what with all the jokes at an elderly person's expense."<ref name="commonsense"/> |

Kung-Fu Magoo is a 2010 animated action comedy film based on the Mr. Magoo character, created by Millard Kaufman and John Hubley.[2] This film was produced by Classic Media, Ánima Estudios, and Santo Domingo Films.[3] It was also produced by Motion Toons, a new, short-lived animation studio created in conjunction with Ánima Estudios, and Santo Domingo Films.[3] English voice-cast stars Dylan and Cole Sprouse, Alyson Stoner and voice actors Tom Kenny, Rodger Bumpass, Jim Conroy, Chris Parnell, and Maile Flanagan.

Production
[edit]Animation
[edit]The film's animation was produced by Ánima Estudios in Mexico,[8] while the additional animation was provided by Studio B Productions (now WildBrain) in Canada,[5][9] and Boulder Media in Ireland.[10]
Release
[edit]The project had an early screening at MIPCOM at Cannes, France, in 2008.[11] On May 11, 2010, the English-language version of the film was released on DVD in the United States through Vivendi Entertainment.[7] The film was also originally set for a theatrical release in Mexico in 2009, distributed by Videocine,[2][1][12] but there was no further information regarding this, to date. It instead had its Mexican premiere on Cartoon Network in 2011.[13] The film was dedicated to Alfredo Harp Calderoni, the film's executive producer and son of Mexican businessman, Alfredo Harp Helú, who died after production in 2009.[14][15]
U.S. broadcasting
[edit]On 12 October 2010, the film was acquired by Disney XD for channel transmission and premiered in the United States on 7 February 2011.[4] Produced in Mexico, this marked the first time Disney XD acquired a Latin American animated production for channel transmission.[16]
Reception
[edit]The film was panned by critics.[17][18] S. Jhoanna Robledo of Common Sense Media gave this film 2 out of 5 stars, saying that "the plot, as it were, is nearly nonsensical, but that has always been Mr. Magoo’s charm. Though he wreaks havoc with his obliviousness -- he often walks into a dangerous situation simply because he literally walks into one -- he successfully extricates himself and saves the world in the process. On the face of it, it’s a nostalgic trip to cartoon history -- Magoo first [sic] debuted in the late '40s, and the special effects are certainly pre-CGI -- and it's a welcome relief from the relentlessness and inanity of current fare. But if one must be a stickler, it's also kind of mean, what with all the jokes at an elderly person's expense."[18]
Ratings
[edit]When it aired on Disney XD on 2 April 2011, it was viewed by 1.6 million viewers among Kids 6-11 (0.5 million/2 rating).[19] In a recent airing, the film was viewed by 254,000 viewers among ages 2 and over, with a 0.2 household rating.[20]
