Product Description

A spoof of Sherlock Holmes and James Bond, this Cosgrove Hall (The Wind in the Willows, Count Duckula) animated series follows the adventures of DANGERMOUSE, a London-based, eye patch-wearing, secret-agent mouse who regularly saves the world from monsters, master thieves, and other evildoers. One of the few British children's series to succeed in America, DANGERMOUSE is perfect for children of all ages. The series aired from 1981-1992 aired on ITV in the U.K. and in the 1990s on Nickelodeon in the U.S. DANGERMOUSE: THE COMPLETE SEASONS 1 AND 2 includes all 17 episodes that aired in the series' first two seasons plus the rare, never-aired pilot episode.

Amazon.com

The first two seasons (1981-82) of British televisions deliciously witty cartoon starring the worlds smallest superhero come to DVD in this two-volume set of 17 uproarious episodes. Brian Trueman and Mike Harding are the masterful writing team behind the tongue-in-cheek humor of Danger Mouse, "the great guardian of peace and justice in the world" (voiced by David Jason), and his earnest yet bumbling assistant, Penfold. Taking orders from Colonel K, the intrepid duo strives to save the world from the dark deeds of Baron Silas Greenback, whether it means seeking cover from giant chickens, explosive cans of custard, or a renegade Martian. Classic episodes include "The Day of the Suds," when an army of washing machines soaks London in sinister soap bubbles, and "The Dream Machine," where the good guys are "cloud-napped" by a mysterious machine that causes their worst nightmares to come true. With nary a bland story in the bunch, adults will savor the sophisticated parodies inspired by Monty Python, Dr. Who, and Sherlock Holmes, while youngsters will relish DMs outrageous antics and crime-fighting gadgetry rivaling James Bond. Bonus material includes a never-aired pilot episode, "The Mystery of the Lost Chord," when the arch nemesis was Baron Greenteeth before being renamed Greenback. (Ages 8 and older) --Lynn Gibson

Grinning like an idiot!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 15, 2005

I've searched and I've waited for years, and finally my prayers have been answered -- Danger Mouse has hit the U.S. on DVD! As I sat watching, captivated and grinning like an idiot, I simply felt that I needed to do my part to spread the joy of Danger Mouse.

So what makes DM so special? Plenty! Though the episodes are very short which limits the depth of the stories, the show compensates in countless ways. For one, the characters remember their past. For instance, when Agent 57 and Buggles the Pigeon return in later episodes, DM and Penfold mention in adequate detail the last time they saw them. This adds a feeling of continuity to the series and, ironically, makes the characters seem more "real".

Then there's the humor, where the brilliance of the show truly shines through. Ridiculous slapstick at one moment can be followed immediately with a clever (and sometimes subtle) pun or cultural reference in the next. I believe this is why the show appeals to all ages.

The show's greatest strength, however, has to be in the dialog. It's nothing short of brilliant. If you have a "punny" sense of humor, then every episode will give you something to laugh about. The characters (especially Penfold and Colonel K) also tend to take things out of context and respond in hilarious though completely understandable ways. It may take a moment to realize just how Penfold interpreted the statement to which he's responding, leading to a little "ah ha!" experience followed by a fit of laughter.

I simply cannot praise this show enough. It has stuck with me in my memory and in my vocabulary for over 15 years. To me, that's a testament to this brilliant and unforgettable cartoon.

Danger Mouse: The World's Greatest Secret Agent

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 14, 2005

Verified Purchase

What can be said about Danger Mouse? That it is my favorite cartoon of the 80s? Yes, that's true. That it is brilliantly funny yet family friendly? Yes that's true as well. That it is one part James Bond, three parts British (think Monty Python and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy), and one part insanity? Spot on, once again. As far as I'm concerned Cosgrove came out of nowhere in the 80s to deliver me a knockout punch. A children's series that actually relies on good writing has always been a rarity. But a children's series with humor that has even more appeal to me as an adult is nearly unique. Danger Mouse has that touch of glorious satire that can insult every inch of you while making you laugh uproariously. The show also has a wonderful sense of the random. One of my favorite dialogues in the series (in the episode Custard)has Penfold (Danger Mouse's head hamster) discussing bicycle clips and he suddenly compares them to toothbrushes. This wonderful display of non sequitur is a prime example of what to expect from this series. Hilarious absurd. Magnificently silly. In short, what can be said of Danger Mouse is best said by the first line of his own insanely addicting theme song.

He's the greatest!

Now that DM's finally getting a dvd release. I couldn't be happier. All I can say to A&E is "MORE!!!" Why if they don't continue the releases (as well as release DM's wonderful spinoff Count Duckula), I shall do what all good secret agents do ... PANIC!!!!!!

A MUST FOR ANY DANGERMOUSE FAN!!

I really liked this DVD version of dangermouse.. i contains alot of episodes that aired when it was on the air on "nickelodeon".. the first seasons episodes were only 10 minutes each and the others were 20 minutes.. on seasons 2 and 3 ..i like the episodes the 'world of machines' an episode i haven't since i was a child.. i wondered how DM and penfold got back from the planet of machines.. while Greenback attention was diverted he jumped i the machine and left Greenback up there.that was great thinking..i was already buying dangermouse tapes from the U.S. and in England.. becuase that's were danger is from England-so the country that made the caroon would most likey have more copies of the cartoon than any other country..it's worth every penny..but the tapes would not work in VCR so i had to get them converted into U.S. display from some place in U.S.i still say it was worth it.. i hope they release and complete seasons and 5 and 6 soon.. i already have most of the episodes from seasons 3 and 4 anyway on VHS...Danger Mouse meets Count Duckula on one show where he tricked him to giving him his 2 feathers..for some ingredient..for greenback..i still liked DM better than Countduckla.. well i'll be collecting these DVDs until they stop making them.. at least i don't have to get these DVDS converted i can just view them right away when they come. well enjoy DM fans u won't be dissapointed..

Not just penguins, Penfold ... MECHANICAL VAMPIRE PENGUINS!!

Although this cartoon has been available as a DVD set in England for several years, the PAL format is all but unwatchable here in the United States. And up to now all WE'VE had available are some poorly-packaged episodes on VHS ... and honestly, who bothers buying VHS anymore? But at last this beloved cartoon (which ran on Nickelodeon back in the early 1980s) has been given its U.S. DVD release, and I couldn't be happier.

"Danger Mouse" is a British cartoon about the world's greatest secret agent. With the help of his timid hamster assistant, Penfold, Danger Mouse is constantly saving the world from the villainous toad, Baron Silas Greenback, who in turn is assisted by his crow henchman, Stiletto, and his cute but mischievous pet caterpillar, Nero. The humor here is often very British and very dry. Example:

Danger Mouse: "Penfold, do you know how angry I am with that toad?"
Penfold: "No, but if you'll hum a few bars, I'll join in on the second chorus."

Fans who used to watch this cartoon on Nickelodeon may find the voice of Stiletto a bit puzzling. This DVD collection has Stiletto's original Italian accent. Apparently Nickelodeon was concerned that Italian-Americans might be somewhat offended by a "Mafioso" stereotype, so the voice of Stiletto was re-dubbed with a cockney accent for the U.S.

Not much in the way of extras here, just some character files and the unseen pilot episode, which is interesting but not particularly valuable.

Great DVD! DM ROCKS!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on June 1, 2005

I got this DVD in my mail this afternoon and watched it all the way through. It was good seeing DM and Penfold back on US TV screens after so long. The only problem I have with DM on the DVD is the short segments for Custerd, and Day of the suds... Hearing the theme over and over again can be tiresome. I look at it another way too. This is the way British kids may have watched the show.
It was good to see some "background" on the main characters, but I would like to have seen some information on the voice actors as well. The Never before seen cartoon is a different verson of one of the cartoons that would air during the first 2 years of the show. The voices of DM and Penfold were done by different actors, also the ending was different as well.
Lord of the Bungle was a good one, but suffered with a tinny sound to the audio at times. Aside from a few nitpicks, A & E did a great job bringing the White Wonder back to US TVs... I am wanting more....
