Of all the heroes in the world, Doogal, an adorable, long-haired mutt, is the one tasked with saving humankind. When the wicked sorcerer, Zeebad, is released from his ancient prison, he vows to take his revenge on those who captured him and flash-freeze the Earth forever with the power of three mysterious magic diamonds. Now, determined to save the world, a fellowship of four unlikely heroes join forces to thwart Zeebad's villainous plans. Led by candy-loving Doogal, loyal friends, Dylan, the guitar-playing rabbit; Brian, the bashful snail, and Ermintrude, the opera-singing cow, embark on an epic quest to save the world, braving ice-capped mountains, fiery pits of molten lava, and an impenetrable, booby-trapped temple guarded by an army of ninja skeleton warriors. Can Zeebad's wizardry destroy the power of friendship?

| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxThe original English scripts certainly were peppered with sly, topical asides aimed squarely at adults. Paul Bassett Davies' updated screenplay attempts to follow suit, but what passes for topical these days is pretty much limited to industry inside jokes and constant allusions other movies. Thankfully, the animation itself is thoroughly inspired. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jason AndersonThe slapdash dialogue and smug vocal talent -- even the presence of the much-loved host of "The Daily Show" is wearying -- detract from the visual appeal of the most energetic sequences (like a raucous train chase) and what's left of Danot's designs. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckStrictly for the small-fry set, lacking the visual style, wit or imagination necessary to entice adult viewers. |
| L.A. WeeklyMark OlsenDoogal is one of those pickup-and-redub jobs, the original version having been made by European studio Pathé based on a 1960s British children’s show, "The Magic Roundabout." And lacking even the minimal pop-cultural pizzazz of "Hoodwinked," the story, dialogue and animation here really are for-kids-only. |
| New York Daily NewsJami BernardA dreadful animated movie stuffed with bad puns and little internal logic. More dangerous than the world icing over is the danger of eyeballs rolling back into the heads of parents accompanying kids to this. |
| Boston GlobeLouise KennedyCharm-free, incoherent, and heartlessly sentimental, this woodenly animated co-production by American, British, and French companies offers boredom and irritation for parents, needlessly scary images for tots, and, for the pubescent boys who apparently run mass culture, a flatulent blue moose. It's ugly to look at, too. |
| New York PostLou LumenickWilliam H. Macy lends a little class as a snail, but Smith nails it in the closing-credit outtakes: "Don't expect Robin Williams-caliber work." |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsThe polite word for all this is "repurposing," a euphemism for "hauling someone else's garbage." |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubIt's a movie that scrounges so desperately for laughs, it features both a flatulent moose and a flatulent train. |
| The A.V. ClubNathan RabinIt'd take more than potentially lethal amounts of alcohol to make this derivative trash endurable. |
