Trouble Indemnity

"Did you know there are over 80,000 accidents in American baths each year? Well that’s what the insurance man tells old “Magoo”. After a bit of persuasion, he eventually signs up for a policy and with the salesman barely out of the door, he steps on his own tiger-skin rug and decides he has a claim. Off he duly sets to their building where we have already discovered the “Fly By Nite” company hasn’t two cents to rub together. Of course, he can’t see the nose on the end of his face so ends up on the construction site next door where he is spotted by his now terrified insurers. What if he dies! They have to fork out $400k!! Whilst they race to rescue him, he has to navigate the perils of the seventeenth floor girders next door to comedic effect. I quite liked the start of this as “Magoo” struggles to even find let alone open his own front door, and there are some lovely expressions on the faces of the insurance guys - but I never really liked Magoo cartoons. Perhaps because they had dialogue and because the potentially calamitous scenarios were usually very similar? Anyway, this is an easy watch for six minutes but I didn’t love it."
