Sorry, this movie sucks

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Danger Mouse is a good animated series with reasonably well written plots and a stellar voice cast. The highlight of the series for me is without a doubt David Jason, who shines as both Danger Mouse and The Narrator, as well as many other characters that make appearances throughout the series, the majority of them being villains. The series makes excellent use of breaking the fourth wall, when the narrator makes comments on the show as if it is his job, or whenever Danger Mouse or Penfold make comments that show they know they are in a television series, those moments are the funniest for me.The character of Baron Greenback became tedious for me as the series continued, instead of coming up with new villains, the majority of the time, they just had him as the main antagonist. It became very repetitive, as the two protagonists were somehow shocked every time when they found out he was the cause of evil, playing it up like a clever twist each time. The animation and writing also got quite lazy at times, they knew what worked and what drew children's attention, and so they rarely really tried anything new in terms of story telling. As for the animation, there were often times when we were just staring at a still frame for far too long, or the lights turned off and the characters communicated in darkness for an extensive period. They were trying to make the show as cheap as possible. It is certainly enjoyable to see the odd episode, but to watch the whole series is quite tedious. Funny, simple and light hearted, there is something here for adults, but Danger Mouse is mainly a kids show, albeit an enjoyable one. Danger Mouse and his sidekick Penfold work together to fight crime and keep the world safe. Best Episode: The Return of Count Duckula / Worst Episode: The Day of the Suds

First it was the recurring debate over Bert & Ernie. Now it's a debate over DM & Penfold.Why do people persist in seeing things that aren't there, and which a show's creators and cast never intended to be there? Unless there is a scene of the two characters actually engaging in a sexual act, there is no justification whatsoever for a claim that their relationship is gay, straight or anything at all.In this case, the two main characters are co-workers. DM is the dashing hero, and Penfold is his cowardly & inept assistant (as we are repeatedly told), because that's a lot funnier than two dashing heroes.They're both male, because if one was male and the other was female, it would raise more questions about whether it was more than just a working relationship.They share a flat for the same reason that firefighters share a firehouse: so they're exactly where they need to be in order to spring into action the instant they're needed. That's it. That's all. We're talking about a silly little cartoon here. There's no subtext, so don't go looking for any.

'Danger Mouse' cashed in on the heights of 'Danger Man' and the Bond films to create a mouse superhero (voiced by the versatile David Jason).In a tale of good versus evil (the usual cartoon simplistic stuff), Danger Mouse and his hamster sidekick Penfold (voiced by the much missed Terry Scott) battled against the wonderfully named Silas Greenback (voiced by Edward Kelsey). Danger Mouse was a master of derring-do and wore an eyepatch! Written by comic Mike Harding and kids' TV regular Brian Trueman (who presented Screen Test amongst other things) it was funny, clever, and hugely enjoyable for all age groups.

Another great show from my younger days, Danger Mouse used to pop up on Nickelodeon. I first saw Count Duckula before also stumbling onto this cartoon. Secret Agent Danger Mouse, looking heroic with his DM emblem and tough with his eyepatch, lived in a red mailbox on a street corner in London. His sidekick, the lovable but cowardly Penfold, was a blue suit wearing mole who would run behind Danger Mouse screaming "Oh, eck!". Colonel K, who I think was an old beaver or something, would call in and send Danger Mouse on all his dangerous missions to thwart the evil Baron Silas Greenback, a large frog petting a fuzzy caterpillar. DM would also drive around in his own super secret agent car, escape from snapping alligators and always saved the day. I also remember a lot of bombs exploding and that great theme song.
