| Mr. Magoo sets off to go to the movies but goes to an airport by mistake and gets on a plane thinking it to be a theater. Little does Magoo know the man he is sitting next to is actually a thief and when a detective appears on the plane to track the thief down, Magoo thinks it's all part of the movie. After doing some wing walking, Magoo reenters the plane and exposes the thief to the detective. When the plane lands, Magoo remarks that they should have shown a cartoon particularly one with that "delightful near sighted fellow". | |

Quite why the blind as a bat "Mr. Magoo" would want to go to the cinema in the first place is anyone's guess, but off he sets. His first ever 3D film - he has to fasten his seat belt and is impressed by the sensation that he might actually be flying... Well, yes, in fact he is - actually flying. He ... has mistakenly gone to the airport and is now thousands of feet up in the air. He goes for a stroll, takes what he thinks is the door to the smoking lounge and ends up doing a bit of a wing walk whilst playing havoc with the tail plane. Luckily he makes it back in ok, and just in time to help the police apprehend a thief! Safely landed, he disembarks the plane having throughly enjoyed his trip to the cinema - except, well there were no cartoons. "Magoo" was never my favourite cartoon character but this daft story works well enough with a simple scenario that raises a smile - especially when the woman looks out of the window!
