Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Pluskylang Great Film overall

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Paul Evans The sheer joy I've had sitting down and watching through this series on Netflix is incalculable, you romanticise about programmes from way back when, but so often what you enjoy as a kid is absolute rubbish. Not so here, DM has to be the very best, funniest cartoon from my youth (the closest rivals being Count Duckula and Trapdoor.) The characters are just glorious, Danger Mouse so fearless, Penfold so funny, Baron Greenback so evil, the mix is just magical. I can't get over how diverse and bonkers the show is, there's even an episode that feels like an homage to Monty Python. Wonderfully voiced, David Jason the master of voice overs, as was Terry Scott, I always said this was his best work, and he is an absolute joy as Penfold. The remake is so dull in comparison, way too politically correct. This is pure magic. 10/10

prosebank 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.

StringBlade I'm a huge fan of Danger Mouse and always have been. I remember being a kid watching Danger Mouse with my brothers and before (or after, I don't remember) each episode on Nickelodeon they'd play a Bananaman episode most of the time. Lucky for those of us in the U.S. the world's smallest secret agent is now available on DVD from A&E. HOWEVER, be aware that this is NOT the exact same version you saw if you watched it on Nickelodeon in the U.S. as I did. I did not know this before I bought the DVD, but apparently when DM was broadcast in the U.S. they dubbed Stiletto's voice from and Italian accent to a Cockney accent, but the U.S. DVD release of DM has the original Italian accent. It threw me for a loop and I'm sure I'll grow to not care, but it is certainly a surprise that a U.S. release would not be the same as the U.S. broadcast. I'm especially interested to see how this affects The Duel episode where Stiletto dresses up as a fortune teller and puts on a "fake" accent to hypnotize Penfold -- except he slips back to his Cockney accent when he shouts, "OH YES YOU ARE!" and clobbers poor Penfold over the head with they crystal ball. *sigh* Why do production studios have to screw with stuff one way or another and end up being inconsistent!? Either they should have left Stiletto in Italian for the U.S. broadcast or released the DVD with the Cockney accent. Oh well...they're still just as enjoyable as ever - nothing else changed.

grendelkhan From a typical Baker St. pillar box came the story of the World's Greatest Secret Agent, Danger Mouse; and the World's Worst Assistant, Penfold. Their afternoon tea has been interrupted by Colonel K, with another mission to stop that fiend, Baron Silas Greenback and the henchiest of henchmen, Stiletto. "Oh, eck" indeed!I discovered this wonderful and hilarious series one day, while in college. I went into the tv lounge and someone was watching Nickelodeon. There on the screen was a curious one-eyed white mouse. I stopped to watch and became more engrossed. This was side-achingly funny! From that point on, I tried to catch each afternoon's new adventure.The writing was exquisite, even if the jokes were silly. The voices had a nice blend of the comic and the ironic. The archetypes were brilliant: the cool measured voice of our hero, DM; the blustering old codger Col. K; the cringing cowardly Penfold; the hoarse whispered Baron Greenback; the Cockney thug, Stiletto. Add a daffy mix of guest characters like the alien JJ Quark, Prof. Squackenkluck, Agent 57, Count Duckula, and others; and you had something that rivalled Monty Python for sheer anarchy and laughs.I was able to tape the series when it was later rebroadcast on Nickelodeon, a few years later. Every once in a while, I pull them out to watch again. They never grow tired; although the earlier episodes tend to be better than the later ones.And, so; the sun sets on another adventure of the White Wonder and his hopeless assistant. What lies ahead for our heroes on the morrow? Tune in next time for another stirring adventure of...."Penfold! and, err Danger Mouse." "Penfold,.....Shush!""Oh, eck!"
