"Danot made a longer film, Pollux et le chat bleu, in 1972 which was also adapted by Thompson and shown in Britain as Dougal and the Blue Cat. The cat, named Buxton, was working for the Blue Voice who wanted to take over the garden. The Blue Voice was voiced by Fenella Fielding and was the only time that Eric Thompson called in another person to voice a character.

Was Dylan the Rabbit in Magic Roundabout named after Bob Dylan?
Q. I seem to remember he might have been
Asked by ALAN!!!!!!!! - Tue Oct 19 18:46:25 2010 - Other - Television - 5 Answers - Comments
A. Dylan is the name of a rabbit from the old Magic Roundabout series. He is very chilled out and calm. He often spends most of his time sleeping. But he plays his guitar and guards his mushrooms as well. He is the only bipedal animal character out of every other animal. He is actually based on the singer known as Bob Dylan.
