Count Duckula - The Complete First Season (1988) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a huge fan of Daffy, Donald, Scrooge McDuck, and duck animation in general, I simply cannot believe that Count Duckula is being released on DVD. All I can say is WOW!
Count Duckula got his start in the popular British Cosgrove-Hall cartoon Dangermouse and eventually got spun off into his own series on Nickelodeon which ran for 65 episodes. The count's voice was done by David Jason who also did the voice for Danger Mouse. Duckula was joined in his castle by his servant Igor and a housekeeper called nanny who botched up Duckula's return to life by bringing ketchup instead of blood turning Duckula vegetarian. From this outrageous premise we got one of the truly underrated and hysterical animated shows in recent memory.
This set features 26 Episodes over 3 discs. The episode list is:
No Sax Please - We're Egyptian
Vampire Vacation
One Stormy Night
Transylvanian Homesick Blues

Count Duckula is an egotistical vegetarian vampire duck who lives in a castle that can travel anywhere he wants to go.He lives with his servants: Nanny, his large and stupid nanny who always has her arm in a sling, and Igor, his evil butler.While Nanny accidentally destroys furniture and Igor attempts to turn the broccoli chomping duck to the dark side, a vampire hunter lurks around with a wooden stake-in-a-gun and unattractive intentions.Although Duckula is a spin-off of Danger Mouse, the humor is of a completely different and has an original style.
