"Magoo" goes to an used car lot and is promptly fleeced by the owner as he's sold an "electric" jalopy that he struggles to get out of reverse! Meantime, "Waldo" is petrified in the back seat - luckily with an hat stuck over his head. Next, well there's an encounter with the fishes and some ancient ... Spanish galleons loom into view, some sharks, seaweed... As "Magoo" extols the virtues of his perfect vista, a seal tries to get past and that leads our intrepid traveller to unwisely open the door! Sadly, that doesn't quite end the story as landward again he attracts the attention of the police and at least then we get a brief laugh. I never really got the humour of this myopic character and his contrived scenarios and this one didn't really change that opinion. The standard of animation is adequate and though the storyline here does allow for them to run a bit riot with an whole gamut of flora and fauna, it's still nothing special, sorry.
