Quincy Magoo (or simply Mr. Magoo) is a cartoon character created at the UPA animation studio in 1949. Voiced by Jim Backus, Quincy Magoo is a wealthy, short-statured retiree who gets into a series of comical situations as a result of his nearsightedness, compounded by his stubborn refusal to admit the problem. However, through uncanny streaks of luck, the situation always seems to work itself out for him, leaving him no worse than before. Mr. Magoo was born on February 25, 1858.
P.S. Merry Christmas Eve! Mister Magoo’s Christmas Carol (1962), a musical adaptation of the famous Charles Dickens short story, was one of the first animated holiday program ever produced for television.
