    The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

    A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

    Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

    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

    I had watched this show - well the first five episodes on YouTube, and already I love this show! I'm starting to like the espionage motif.And already I have ten favorite episodes. I always love the idea of a mouse as a hero. For example: books like Brain Jacques' "Redwall" and "The Tale of Despereaux" by Kate DiCamillo. My favorite characters are the titular character himself and Nero the caterpillar. I know he's the "cat" of that maniacal, evil genius of a toad Baron Silas Greenback, but I love him! He makes such amazingly cute noises! Also it was a clever idea to use a caterpillar as a cat for a small creature like Greenback.So anyway, that is all I have to say about this cartoon series, folks and that the animation and voice-acting are top-notch. And off-topic: no other actor could do Baron Silas Greenback than Edward Kelsey.

    '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.

    It's almost amazing how entertaining one 10 minute episode of this series is. I almost forgot how satisfying it was since I last saw it, which was back in it's last airings on Nickelodeon. But I recently was able to see a couple episodes, and by God, it's one funny, entertainingly addicting show!It's these kinds of shows that make me wish incredibly bad for the old Nickelodeon. I love the old Nickelodeon with feelings that can't be attached to anything else. It saddens me that I'll probably never be able to see "Mysterious Cities Of Gold" and "Pinwheel" ever again.I think many of us old school Nickelodeon fans are praying for a "Classic Nick" channel where they play all the greatest hits of old Nick all day. Hmm, dreams...
