Reviews

TheLittleSongbird I loved this when I was kid, it was funny, intelligent and well-animated. David Jason brilliantly voiced Count Duckula(I didn't know it was him at first), don't let the accent throw you. I liked the idea of a vampire duck, very original. There were also some excellent supporting characters, well voiced by the likes of Jack May and co. The plots were clever and funny, the theme tune was great and the scripts were a gem. I loved this when I was a kid, and at the moment I can think of at least seven animated shows that have disappeared suddenly, and should be brought back. They are Peter Pan and the Pirates, Ducktales, Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers, Danger Mouse Darkwing Duck, Talespin and this, I would honestly pick these gems over the awfully-animated cartoons like Shaggy and Scooby Get a Clue! and Pokemon. All in all, if you haven't seen this already, and if you see it anywhere, watch it. Nothing much else to say, other than a 10/10. Bethany Cox

SmashMonkey being a massive fan of dangermouse, i had seen duckula before he got his own series. i was so glad that he did! growing up in the 80's, everybody i knew loved duckula and, despite being called nanny for 5 years by a boy who could imitate Igor's voice quite scarily well, so did i. the silliness of the show, which would have seemed tacky anywhere else, worked perfectly. the characters were marvellous and the whole show was wickedly funny. watching duckula's old retainer Igor trying to turn him from a vegetarian into the bloodthirsty fiend he was meant to be always made me feel slightly sorry for the spooky old butler. nanny (the nanny) crashed her way through every scene she was in, with her frilly cap and arm in a sling, ready to hand out broccoli lollipops and over-enthusiastic hugs. duckula's thirst for fame, rather than blood, led him and his entourage on many crazy adventures in their teleporting castle, which would always return to its transylvanian mountain-top at dawn, with or without its inhabitants. of course, every vampire has his nemesis, and duckula's was doctor Von goosewing who, along with his invisible assistant heinrich, would do his very best to destroy duckula. the writing was sharp and always funny, the title music was perfection and the show as a whole was a rare treat for children (and adults) of all ages which will never be bettered. a perfect 10 in every way.

CocaCola18 So Danger Mouse comes to an end... What do you do?All agree that it was a good ride while it lasted?Make a living out of all those "I Love the 80's" programmes talking about itOr do you get up and make another classic cartoon!David Jason returned for more cartoon goodness, the bloke is a god! This time we watch the world of a Vampire Duck living with Igor and his Nanny... with the DUCKY-POOS line...GOLD! And who can forget the other characters Van Goosewing and those Cuckoo clock characters.... FANTASTIC

Big Movie Fan This is one cartoon show which I used to rush home from work to try and catch at times. It was a spin-off from the hilarious Danger Mouse and it was truly funny.I mean, how can anyone hate a cartoon starring a vampire duck...that was a vegetarian? Who can forget the lumbering Igor or Nanny who permanently wore an arm sling?Duckula himself was just amazing-he came out with some really funny lines throughout the series and the stories were very good indeed and far superior to today's cartoons which are very poor (sorry kids).Check out Duckula if you can.
