Danger Mouse

This cartoon was like Monty Python meets James Bond. It was about a heroic mouse named Danger Mouse who was the best secret agent and he had an inept and cowardly sidekick, a hampster named Ernest Penfold who was like a cross between Stan Laurel and Peter Lorre. Together Danger Mouse and Penfold went on vivid and wildly hilarious adventures and had to save the world from a mafia-like syndicate presided by the villainous Silas Greenback.

Besides Garfield and Friends this was another one of my favorite cartoons from my childhood! It wouldn't hurt to bring it back to television with reruns! Danger Mouse had something in it for both kids and adults alike. And Danger Mouse is way better than all those cartoons they have out nowadays that have kids who 'save the world' with the help from their pocket/digital monsters. And on top of it all, it's non-violent!

So, if you're missing Danger Mouse, just order some video tapes of it! Check out your local video store one of these days! Danger Mouse was a true classic cartoon. Animated British humor which will leave you in stitches!

I miss this show so much! It was really funny and creative, and I couldn't wait for it to come on everyday when it aired on Nickelodeon back in the 80's. Danger Mouse, and his sidekick Penfold (who is a hamster) would always foil the evil Silas Greenback's evil plans, and have a little humor in it as well. Even though this was a kids show, adults could enjoy it as well.

This was a really cool show. I wish Nickelodeon would air it again. But knowing them, that won't ever happen again (sniffle, sniffle). Nickelodeon has really gone downhill with crap like Spongebob, and Fairly Oddparents and it's a shame since kids won't be able to see cartoons that can be funny without being gross like this show.

This cartoon rules!

One of the best cartoons from the United Kingdom. I really like this, and I recommend it to everyone. It is that good of a show.

The sheer joy I've had sitting down and watching the whole series on Netflix is incalculable, you romanticise about programmes from way back when, but so often what you enjoy as a kid is absolute rubbish when you revisit it. Fortunately my memory is not wrong, DM has to be the very best, funniest cartoon from my youth (the closest rivals being Count Duckula and Trapdoor.)

The characters are just glorious, Danger Mouse so fearless, Penfold so funny, Baron Greenback so evil, the mix is just magical. I can't get over how diverse and bonkers the show is, there's even an episode that feels like an homage to Monty Python. Wonderfully voiced, David Jason the master of voice overs, as was Terry Scott, I always said this was his best work, and he is an absolute joy as Penfold. The remake is so dull in comparison, way too politically correct. This is pure magic.

10/10.

What a gem of an animated show. This was part of my childhood when I was little, and I still adore it now. Seriously, it should be brought back, so that children nowadays could enjoy the childhood gems like this, Talespin, Count Duckula, Darkwing Duck and Peter Pan and the Pirates, that are ignored and replaced with (save a couple of rarities) awfully animated shows like Shaggy and Scooby Doo:Get a Clue. Back on target, Danger Mouse is an absolute gem. The animation is fantastic, very colourful and vibrant, not shoddy and flat. The theme tune is one of my all time favourite animated show theme tunes, I can't help it, it is so catchy and wholly memorable. The scripts and story lines are funny and original, and the characters are great, not only Danger Mouse and Penfold, but also Baron Greenback is such a convincing villain. The voice acting is just brilliant from everyone involved; David Jason is an enormously talented actor and he was just superb as the iconic title character. All in all, a brilliant animated show, that should be brought back. 10/10 Bethany Cox
