The World of the Magic Roundabout by Paul Simpson
The Magic Roundabout is a major international animated feature film with a dazzling voice cast of world famous names. Starring Robbie Williams as Dougal, Kylie Minogue as Florence, Joanna Lumley as Ermintrude, Jim Broadbent as Brian the snail, Richard O'Brien as Zebedee and Tom Baker as new character ZeeBadee, the film takes us on an magical journey that casts four unlikely heroes in an Indiana Jones style adventure. Based on the cult classic BBC TV series, The Magic Roundabout is a legend which has lived on - captivating children and flummoxing adults, who were left wondering whether the whole thing really was an allusion to 1960s hippy culture or just a harmless piece of fun. Now nearly 40 years on, adults will wallow in nostalgia while a whole new generation of fans will witness the magic of the Roundabout. Using the same 3D animation as Toy Story and Monsters Inc, the film will transform the whimsical 1960s series into a treat for the 21st century. With a witty, fast paced script, a magnificent voice cast and stunning animation, The World of the Magic Roundabout will be a gorgeously illustrated companion to the film. The book will transport us into the psychedelic world of the characters - their funniest one liners, likes and dislikes (including Dougal's obsession with sugar) and knowing references to the original TV series will all be here. With original artwork and 150 stills from the film this will be a visual treat for old and new fans of The Magic Roundabout alike.
Andy Lane has previously written The World of Austin Powers (Boxtree) and Creating Creature Comforts (Boxtree). He has co-written The Bond Files with Paul Simpson.
