One of my personal favorites, it was a BAFTA nominee.

This is one of my favorite Magoo cartoons and takes place on a train. In a case of mistaken identity, Magoo is thought to be a spy in a drop (note of puzzlement here, though: Magoo's behavior has an explanation, as he's near-sighted. But for the other characters, the only explanation for much of what they do is that they are idiots studying to be morons and not managing to grasp the material. Some real Rhodes scholars here) and the bulk of the cartoon is spent pursuing Magoo once the error is discovered. Magoo's good fortune prevails once again and he blithely strolls through the wreckage and chaos strewn in his wake, emerging without even the whisper of a scratch. The pack of 40 watt bulbs giving chase is not nearly so fortunate. The situations here are a riot! Well worth tracking down. Simply marvelous. Most highly recommended.
