Danger Mouse

The early 1980's was quite an exciting time for cartoons-Danger Mouse was one of the many great cartoons out there and it gives me great pleasure to see it getting released onto DVD here in the United Kingdom recently.

Danger Mouse was pure fun. It had a great tune, a great hero and a great villain. What amused me at the time was the animals used in this show. I don't particularly like mice and wouldn't want a mouse as a pet but I found myself rooting for Danger Mouse whenever he fought evil. As for Baron Greenback, well he was just disgusting. I don't mind frogs actually but whenever cartoon shows want a villain they usually choose a reptile or an amphibian. Baron Greenback was evil and his voice was just horrible.

Danger Mouse and Penfold had some exciting adventures although I wouldn't have trusted Penfold with my life. It was a great show with some great moments and one which I would urge young fans to track down on video. I have great memories of this show.

Now if only I could remember the name of Danger Mouse's girlfriend who he used to talk about.
