This review is from: Danger Mouse: Trouble With Ghosts (Vol. 1) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I just purchased the first 2 volumes of this collection from Amazon, mainly because I was a big fan of DM when the show ran on Nickelodeon back in the 1980s, and also because I thought my partner Greg (who enjoys British humour) might get a kick out of it. If you were ever a fan of Danger Mouse, I would recommend you get these tapes because I think it rather unlikely they'll ever be released on DVD.

HOWEVER: I have some mixed feelings about these collections. My main beef is that instead of simply giving us the cartoons individually (opening titles, then cartoon, then closing credits), the 3 or 4 cartoons on each tape are linked with a segues in which the "DM" logo is frozen onscreen while the narrator or various other characters do some ostensibly humorous "backstage" commentary and ... stuff. It's actually kind of annoying, and while watching the 2nd volume Greg & I ended up fast-forwarding past it to the next episode.

ALSO: Fans of Danger Mouse who only remember the show from Nickelodeon may find themselves a bit confused by the voice of Stiletto, the incompetent trench-coated henchman (or should I say "hench-crow") for Baron Silas Greenback. Watching DM on Nickelodeon back in 80s, I distinctly remember Stiletto having a Cockney accent ... but on these tapes he speaks like a "paisano" Italian stereotype. This leads me to believe that Nickelodeon, concerned that Italian-Americans might be offended by the Italian mafioso ster, sought changes in Stiletto's voice after they secured the rights to broadcast Danger Mouse in the U.S.

That having been said, these cartoons are still a lot of fun to watch, with their awful puns and wacky yet dry British humour. Penfold (DM's hamster assistant) still cracks me up, and of course everyone loves Greenback's caterpillar pet, Nero.

By A Customer

This review is from: Danger Mouse: Trouble With Ghosts (Vol. 1) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Danger mouse is one of the greatest cartoons known to everyone who grew up watching old-school Nickelodeon. A definite must have for everyone who grew up in the 80s!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dangermouse is King, March 23, 2000

Absolutely essential viewing for any self respecting Dangermouse fan, or for anybody who hasn't yet experienced this the finest cartoon ever made. DM and Penfold get up to all sorts of jiggery pokery - all over the universe. Worth buying for the 'Womablid Custard Mite of Glut' alone, oh how we laughed...
