As a frosty mist sweeps across the earth, four unlikely heroes, BRIAN, ERMINTRUDE, DYLAN, and DOUGAL step forward to challenge the chill. They must recover three magic diamonds to reverse the onset of winter and return ZEEBAD to his prison beneath the ground; easy you may say... if you're not a snail, a cow, a rabbit or a dog. Across the furnaces of a fiery volcano, through the hidden dangers of a jungle temple, over the snow-capped mountains of the icy wilderness, our sub-zero heroes must voyage and survive. The destiny of the world rests on their shoulders. Only through teamwork, friendship and exceptional bravery will they deliver the Enchanted Land from a frozen fate... -- © Offical Site [More]

In short, The Magic Roundabout is an enjoyable family film that will delight young audiences and is liable to send nostalgic 30-somethings on a (sadly, futile) quest to find the original series on DVD. Worth seeing.

For all its undeniable promise, this take on The Magic Roundabout is just plain disastrous in its execution.
