Instead of flowers, blind Mister Magoo mistakenly plants firecrackers in his garden and the results are explosively hilarious.

"Jamaica Daddy" is a fine cartoon, but "Trees" is a bore.

Magoo's Puddle Jumper (1956) ****

Mr.Magoo undoubtedly knows a good car when he sees one, but since he's almost blind, his judgement should be severely questioned. Here he is, driving his new electric vehicle on the bottom of the sea. Hilarious cartoon, one of Magoo's finest. It deservedly won an Academy Award.

The Jaywalker (1956) ****

A very imaginative cartoon about a mild-mannered man addicted to jaywalking.

Gerald McBoing-Boing On The Planet Moo (1956) ****

Gerald is kidnapped by mysterious aliens from the planet Moo, who want to establish friendly relations with the planet Earth. Some serious communication problems result from aliens mistaking Gerald's "boing-boing" sounds for a human language. Linguistic complcations aside, the cartoon is also memorable for its off-beat humor (the king of Moo arrested for speeding by a cop in outer space).

Meet Mother Magoo (1956) **

Magoo visits his mother and insists on cooking the dinner.

Magoo's Canine Mutiny (1956) **

Magoo puts a criminal on a tight leash. Repetitive gags.
