Plot

Mr. Magoo centers on a well-meaning but visually impaired elderly man who, due to his lack of glasses, unintentionally creates disorder while attempting to assist others. Alongside his dog Mr. Cat, Magoo inadvertently disrupts the plans of Fizz, a malevolent hamster villain.

Characters

• Mr. Magoo (voiced by Ian Hanlin) is an upbeat senior whose poor eyesight causes accidental troubles despite his kind nature.
• Mr. Cat (voiced by Colin Murdock) serves as Magoo's devoted Bull Terrier companion who frequently saves him from peril and recognizes Fizz’s plots.
• Fizz (voiced by Colin Murdock) is a sinister orange hamster with ambitions of global conquest, consistently thwarted by Magoo.
• Weasel (voiced by Shawn MacDonald) acts as Fizz's not-so-bright human assistant and is often the target of Mr. Cat.
• Linda (voiced by Mariee Devereux), one of Magoo’s long-suffering neighbors.
• Mr President, a character resembling Barack Obama who leads Magoo’s nation.
• Marnie (voiced by Jennifer Cameron), introduced in "Hats Off Magoo," is Magoo's romantic interest.
