Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Danger Mouse was an incredibly unique animated series. As an adult, I like the droll British humor and drop-ins of other favorite shows like Doctor Who. As a matter of fact if you look at the story "Dangermouse Saves the World Again" from this box set, you will see the brain-sucking machine is really a Dalek upside down.
Some might think this animation was cheaply done. I guess it was. But there are many Japanese anime series that use the same style - limited character movement and the occasional real live background inserted into the animation.
Series 3 + 4 might be better known to some US viewers because these aired on Nickelodeon during the mid 1980's. The show was taken off the air at Nickelodeon not long after these went out, although Cosgrove-Hall continued producing them into the early 90's.
Drawbacks are these episodes are shown the way they aired in the UK as five minute cliffhangers and you have to sit through the theme music/credits over and over and over. That's partly why I went with four stars. That and the extras are kind of weak. I might have liked to see an interview with Mark Hall or Brian Cosgrove reflecting on these particular stories.
I enjoyed Danger Mouse and his clumsy sidekick Penfold twenty years ago. Now I'm enjoying them all over again with my Middle Schooler.
