    Quincy Magoo is at it again in this one

    The title of this short is a play on the title of the feature film Destination Moon (which itself has an animated sequence made by Walter Lantz and starring Woody Woodpecker) and once again Magoo and his myopia take an adventure, hand in hand, off to the "Moon". The life that man leads! Excellent animation and great sight gags make this one worth finding. Most recommended.

    Magoo goes to the moon... or so he thinks.

    Magoo berates Waldo for reading Science Fiction magazines, but when Waldo tells him of an old college friend of Magoo's who's building a rocket to the moon, Magoo goes off to see his old college pal who bears the nickname "Stinky". Once there, Magoo accidentally ends up in the rocket bound for the moon, or so he thinks - the rocket actually lands in Coney Island, but Magoo's convinced it's an alien world. The Coney Island sequence may go on a little long, but otherwise this is a good Magoo cartoon if you like these sort of things, and the Sci-Fi elements are a bonus.
