This movie is based on a popular TV show with the same name. The story follows a brave dog named Dougal (or Doogal). He must save his best friend, Florence, and the entire world. An evil spring named ZeeBad wants to freeze everything!

The Adventure Begins

A shaggy, candy-loving puppy named Dougal (Doogal in North America) is the main hero. He teams up with his friends for a very important journey. Their goal is to stop their enemy, the evil ice sorcerer ZeeBad. ZeeBad wants to turn the whole world into ice. To stop him, Doogal and his friends must find three special diamonds. These diamonds are the only way to defeat ZeeBad and save everyone.
