4	''Mr. Magoo'' is a French-American reboot of the original ''WesternAnimation/MrMagoo'' cartoon, produced by {{Creator/Xilam}} with the help of [[Creator/DreamWorksAnimation Classic Media]]. Although technically the series [[ShortRunInPeru premiered in Portugal in December 2018]], it had its official premiere in France on May 4, 2019.[[note]]The series also notably premiered in Belgium on La Trois in January, in which the same thing essentially happened with WesternAnimation/PatTheDog.[[/note]]

6	The series follows the eponymous kind-hearted fellow who is always happy to lend a hand — but often causes disasters instead, as without his glasses he makes all kinds of chaotic mix-ups. Despite this, his only enemy is Fizz, a megalomaniacal hamster who is somehow always accidentally thwarted by Magoo. As usual, most of the humor in Mr. Magoo's cartoons come from his [[BlindMistake visual handicap]] and his staunch refusal to acknowledge it.

8	In the US, the series was released on [[Creator/ParamountPlus CBS All Access]] on January 16, 2020.
9	----
10	!!''Mr. Magoo (2019)'' provides examples of:
11	* TheAce: The President is depicted as this, being well-loved by the public, and winning several contests over the course of the series.
12	* AchievementsInIgnorance: Magoo often foils Fizz's schemes completely by accident.
13	* AdaptedOut: Waldo, Mr. Magoo's nephew from the original series, doesn't exist in this continuity at all. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], as Mr. Magoo isn't an uncle here, but younger than before.
14	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Compared to the original Mr. Magoo, who had his nice moments, this one's kindness is taken up to eleven, bordering on AllLovingHero, and he is not a GrumpyOldMan.
15	* AlternateContinuity: This is a completely separate continuity to the original shorts, and ''very'' different in style and tone.
16	* ArtisticLicenceBiology: In "Free The Rabbit", Magoo claims that rabbits are rodents. They are not - rabbits are part of the Lagomorpha family.
17	* ArtShift: It's a little more closer to the style of shows such as ''WesternAnimation/ZigAndSharko'', but [[JustifiedTrope justified]] as it's produced by the same people as that show.
18	* AssholeVictim: Fizz deserves his status as a ButtMonkey due to his megalomaniac personality and actively trying to annihilate Magoo despite knowing he's blind.
19	* BlindWithoutEm: Well, duh, this ''is'' Mr. Magoo, after all. The intro has Mr. Cat trying to get him to wear his glasses, but he's so blind that he uses them as a toothbrush, a tie, and even a ''bike'' when Mr. Cat gives him a giant pair.
20	* ButtMonkey: Fizz and Weasel. Mr. Cat too, as he often suffers trying to keep Magoo safe and foil Fizz's plans.
21	* CartoonCreature: Fizz may be a hamster, but he has tiger-esque coloring and facial features.
22	* CityWithNoName: The city in the new setting doesn't ''even have a name''.
23	* ContinuityReboot: This show starts entirely from a clean slate, with the only thing remaining from the original being Mr. Magoo's visual handicap.
24	* DidntThinkThisThrough: A lot of Fizz's plans suffer from this, due to being rooted in his egotiscal narcissism. He's convinced simple accomplishments like winning a cooking contest or changing a statue's head to resemble his own will earn him the adoration and worship of the entire world. In "Lost in the Subway", he makes a fake cave painting to try and trick people into thinking he was once worshipped by humans, unaware that science has ways of identifying the age of cave drawings (thereby proving his is a fake).
25	* DenserAndWackier: The original series was DarkerAndEdgier at times, but this falls right into this trope by virtue of a megalomaniac hamster and emphasis on outright comedy as compared to the source material.
26	* EveryoneHasStandards: In one episode, Magoo unknowingly hires Weasel as a pest control man to get what he thinks is a rat (but is actually a robot) out of his apartment. But when Weasel disposes of the pest by smashing it, Magoo is disgusted by his inhumane methods and orders him to leave.
27	* EvilIsPetty: Fizz will sometimes try to eliminate Magoo despite being aware that he's blind and only foils his plots through dumb luck.
28	* FakeMuscles: Fizz often relies on an inflatable muscle suit to attack Magoo. But as Mr. Cat proves almost as often, said suit is highly vulnerable to being punctured.
29	* FluffyTheTerrible: Would you really expect '''Fizz''' as a name for a megalomaniac hamster?
30	* FormallyNamedPet: Magoo's dog's name is Mr. Cat.
31	* FriendlyEnemy: There are times when Weasel can be quite civil to Magoo and even ''help'' him in a situation. In general, it's an on-off relationship.
32	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: So far, Fizz seems to get caught in his own traps - one example was him getting injured while trying to infiltrate a BlandNameProduct Oscars counterpart, and getting injured during filming.
33	* {{Hypocrite}}: In "Hornets Attack", Fizz admonishes Weasel for "always making things all about [you]", in spite of his own ItsAllAboutMe mindset.
34	* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Fizz tries to succeed, but fails every so often that it's probably easy to root for him, though this is challenged by the fact that he wants Magoo out of the picture despite being aware of his extreme short-sightedness.
35	* InMediasRes: The series begins with everything already in place, with no OriginsEpisode regarding how Fizz got so intelligent, how Weasel became so utterly devoted to him, or even their first encounter with Magoo.
36	* ItsAllAboutMe: Fizz hates the idea of anyone other than himself being called a genius.
37	* InsufferableGenius: Because of his intelligence, Fizz thinks himself better than everyone else
38	* LighterAndSofter: Compared to the 1959-1977 originals, this is more focused on {{Slapstick}} and outright comedy.
39	* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Weasel isn't ''that'' evil compared to Fizz, although he is sometimes subservient to him.
40	* {{Narcissist}}: Fizz. The majority of his inventions are named after him, he has his face on his airship and submarine, and he even has portraits and statues of himself looking taller and buffer than he really is all around his house.
41	* NiceGuy: This incarnation of Magoo is this to a ''tee''. Weasel can also be this when he's off the clock.
42	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The president looks like UsefulNotes/{{Barack Obama}}, but does not have his name revealed.
43	* ObliviousToHatred: Magoo treats Weasel like a friendly neighbor, unaware that, as Fizz's devoted servant, Weasel sees him as nothing but an obstacle to his boss's goals.
44	* OffScreenVillainDarkMatter: Fizz seems to have no end of resources or funding to build all his inventions.
45	* ProWrestlingEpisode: Parodied. In fact, it ends up being more like [[MistakenForIndex Mistaken For Magician]] when Mr. Magoo assumes the wrestling ring is actually a magician's arena!
46	* PunchClockVillain: Weasel, Fizz's assistant, isn't really ''that'' evil and seems to be good off the clock as evidenced by the times he hangs out with Magoo.
47	* RunningGag: Fizz would often end up screaming [[SayMyName "MAGOO!"]], in/at EveryEpisodeEnding, typically whenever his plans, plots, and schemes result in failure out of defeat.
48	* ShoutOut: In the episode "Kung Fu Fizz", Magoo appears fighting Kung Fu, which he has also done in the film ''Kung Fu Magoo'' (2010).
49	* TalkingAnimal: Fizz is a talking hamster with genius-level intelligence. How he got to be this way is unexplained.
50	* UndyingLoyalty: Weasel adores Fizz, and will do anything for him, to the point of being a SycophanticServant.
51	* UngratefulBastard: Weasel is totally devoted to Fizz, doing everything for him. Fizz shows no gratitude for any of this, regularly mocking and talking down to him.
52	* UnknownRival: Magoo is completely unaware of Fizz's existence and anything he does to foil his schemes is done by accident.
53	* VagueAge: How old Magoo is in this canon is not confirmed, but the evidence of a younger girlfriend who looks in her 30s, suggests Magoo could be this age, unless it's an AgeGapRomance.
54	* YoungerAndHipper: This iteration of Mr. Magoo is slightly younger, but still has the same core characteristics aside from the grumpiness of his previous self.
