American Cancer Society

A public-service announcement from the American Cancer Society featuring Mr. Magoo. Not part of the regular series, this rare cartoon begins with a bunch of clips talking about the history of the movies, then has some discussion about how Magoo is made, and a talk with Jim Backus. Then the bulk of the film is a Mr. Magoo cartoon featuring Magoo learning about cancer danger signs and how to protect yourself.

While all the other dragons are puffing away, one dragon refuses to smoke. They all think he's totally square and a number of them challenge him to fights, races, and arm-wrestling contests. As he defeats them all with his clean lungs and nicotine-free body, they begin to think that maybe he's the cool one after all.

Breaking the Habit is a 1964 American animated short documentary film directed by John Korty about cigarette smoking and lung cancer. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Short.
