* OurLawyersAdvisedThisTrope: The film features a disclaimer saying that it was "not intended as an accurate portrayal of blindness or poor eyesight." To which Roger Ebert said: "I think we should stage an international search to find one single person who thinks the film is intended as such a portrayal, and introduce that person to the author of the disclaimer, as they will have a lot in common, including complete detachment from reality." [[WebVideo/NostalgiaCritic The Nostalgia Critic]] pointed out the irony that the disclaimer (as it appears on screen) is very small and thus difficult to read.

* AdaptationalDumbass: In the original cartoons, Magoo was stubborn and tended to stumble into bad situations without thinking but could also be quite resourceful when in a tight spot. Here, he's just plain stupid. This is pointed out by WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic in his review of the movie by referring to the scene where Magoo is trapped in the sarcophagus with a mummy: even as near-sighted as Magoo is, there's no way he could have mistaken a dried-out corpse for a living person at such close proximity and then carried on a conversation with it for several ''hours'' unless he wasn't in his rational mind to begin with.

* GroinAttack: As Luanne and Bob Morgan hold on to a ship's door, trying not to fall into water, Magoo casts his fishing rod and the hook catches onto Morgan's poor balls. Magoo, convinced he caught a big fish, keeps pulling the rod. Morgan moans in pain, lets go of Luanne's leg and falls into water, while Luanne carelessly gets back on the ship.
