Thanks to the British Film Institute, there’s a list of films that played Scala. To celebrate the release of Severin’s new documentary, I’ll share a few of these movies every day. You can see the whole list on Letterboxd.

Based on the TV series The Magic Roundabout, this has Dougal the dog remembering a dream or a memory of walking past an abandoned factory and hearing a voice that says “Blue is beautiful, blue is best. I’m blue, I’m beautiful, I’m best!” That voice belongs to Madam Blue (Fenella Fielding), who sends Buxton, a blue cat, to distract everyone from her plans to assume control of the garden where Dougal and his friends live and turn the world blue.

Just like the TV show, this movie uses the footage of the French stop motion animation show Le Manège enchanté — created by Serge Danot with the help of Ivor and Josiane Wood — which was totally rewritten and told by Eric Thompson. The show was broadcast in 441 five-minute episodes between 1965 and 1977. It wasn’t just enjoyed by kids; adults made it a cult show. In 1975, comedian Jasper Carrott released “The Magic Roundabout,” a live comedy routine about the show that went to #5 on the UK singles chart.
