Magoo's inability to distinguish between his nephew, wearing a raccoon coat, and a wild bear, combined with his pig-headed refusal to consider the possibility that his sight might be failing, made a big hit with audiences. Although Hubley hadn't originally seen the character as a series, he directed another Magoo short, Trouble Indemnity, just six months later. Within a couple of years, Magoo was the star of half the cartoons UPA released, and by the mid-'50s, the studio was doing little else. Four Magoo shorts were nominated for Oscars, and two of them — When Magoo Flew (1954) and Mr. Magoo's Puddle Jumper (1956) — won. And Magoo was the star of UPA's first feature-length cartoon, 1001 Arabian Nights, which came out in 1958. Magoo became a comic book character in 1952. Mr. Magoo (Picture 3).

Over the next decade or so, he appeared in over a dozen Dell Comics productions, most of which he shared with Gerald McBoing-Boing. But the era of theatrical cartoons was drawing to a close. The studio was unable to continue releasing them to theaters beyond 1959. Its very last theatrical cartoon, Terror Faces Magoo, was a Magoo. But by that time, the character was well established in the public consciousness. The momentum was strong enough to carry him into the new medium, where animation was just then starting to thrive — television. Magoo's third and, thus far, final foray into television came in 1977, when the DePatie-Freleng studio (best known for The Pink Panther) licensed the character for a half-hour Saturday morning series, What's New, Magoo? In this production, he was paired with a blind dog named McBarker. The show was about as funny as most of his TV appearances, and was not renewed after its initial 16-episode run.
