How My Loved One Became My Amulet

Mi amuleto eres tu - You are my amulet. In life, we often encounter challenges and face difficult situations. During these times, we seek comfort and protection from various sources. For me, my ultimate amulet and source of strength is you. You are the one who stands by my side through thick and thin. Your presence brings me a sense of security and reassurance.

The plot is fairly obviously borrowed from the Beatles' Yellow Submarine movie from 1968, with a blue-hued conspiracy to take over the universe and eliminate all other colours. But I don't think even the Beatles would have come up with a scene like the one where Dougal, his fur dyed blue, is tortured by being locked up in a cave filled with sugar which he can't eat.

The film s connections with Stanley Kubrick also make for an bizarre little sideshow not only is there a 2001 A Space Odyssey reference in there, but Buxton is made to sound, in Thompson s voiceover, exactly like Malcolm McDowell in Clockwork Orange. Brian also causes Zeebad to go ahead of the gang further by accidentally letting slip the location of the third diamond which falls onto Zeebad s ears, where he openly gloats about where he ll get the third diamond from.

Your presence brings me a sense of security and reassurance. Just like an amulet, you are my shield against negativity and my guide in times of confusion. When I am feeling lost and disheartened, you are the one who lifts me up and helps me find my way.

The Magic Roundabout Review

After Dougal (Williams) accidentally releases evil Zeebad (Tom Baker) from his prison, he and his pals Ermintrude (Lumley), Brian (Broadbent) and Dylan (Nighy) embark on a quest to find three magic diamonds before Zeebad uses them to encase the world in ice.

More than 40 years on from its first broadcast, the children's stop-frame animated series The Magic Roundabout is something of a TV legend - at one point it was the second most-watched programme after the news. Originally made in France, it was bought by the BBC for broadcast here and Eric Thompson (dad of Emma) supplied new storylines and narration, delivering a healthy dose of dry wit to teatime viewing in tales that featured a seemingly stoned rabbit called Dylan, a shaggy, sugar-addict dog named Dougal, the highly sprung, vast-'tached magician Zebedee, Ermintrude the singing cow and Brian the smart-but-slow snail. Grown-up fans delighted in the series' supposed drug-culture references and political satire, but (and let's be honest) were as enchanted by its cuteness as the children at which it was aimed. So a 21st century movie update of classic kiddies' telly is a brilliant idea, as those nostalgic for the show can not only visit the Magic Roundabout once again, but introduce their own children to it, too. Of course, this version is far slicker and attempts a bit of Hollywood-style action-adventure grandstanding, but it works both as a trip down memory lane and as an entertaining movie for (very) young children. The characters are now CGI - albeit rather below Pixar standard - but still look much like the Ermintrude, Dougal and Brian of old (Florence is a bit scary though, with teeny-weeny creepy eyes). The writers, meanwhile, have kept in some of the adult humour; at one point, Dylan wisely advises Dougal to lay off the sugar, as once you have one iced bun it's hard not to eat the whole box. Plus, they've thrown in some '70s musical moments (Dylan and Ermintrude's rendition of The Kinks' You Really Got Me is superb) and have enticingly given the characters very famous voices - it's strangely appropriate that Zebedee shares the same vocal chords as Gandalf. While this may not be a Shrek-like experience guaranteed to deliver a pan-demographic smash - teens certainly won't be impressed by the simple, videogame-ish plot - it is, at least, spot-on for Brit tots too young for Harry Potter and too discerning for Tweenies.

Funny, sweet and eccentric. It'll indulge anyone still misty-eyed with nostalgia for the original, and thrill anyone who's under eight.
