A blurb from A & E Home Video about “Dangermouse: The Complete Series” Dangermouse is the smallest secret agent in the world, not to mention the funniest. Now, from the famed animation studios of Cosgrove Hall Productions (Count Duckula, The Wind and the Willows) all ten seasons of his groundbreaking, sidesplitting, globetrotting cartoon adventures are available in a single box set.
Cor! Crickey! The complete Dangermouse collection has finally arrived! Dangermouse is a delightful romp into the life of the smallest Secret Agent, Dangermouse and his animated assistant, Penfold. Together, they fight villains such as Baron Silas Greenback, who he fights in most episodes and a slew of other villains. Dangermouse actually started out as a comic strip that ran in Look-In magazine in England and was syndicated in other magazines. The animated show started in 1981. The show ran for a total of 10 seasons until 1992. Dangermouse was also the first British cartoon to break into the American TV market. It started her in the States in 1984 on Nick at Nite and still has a following to this day. Even the Simpsons pay homage to Dangermouse in an episode calling him DangerDog! Cosgrove-Hall Animation went on to produce Count Duckula, Bananaman, and 2 episodes for the Doctor Who classic story “The Invasion” for DVD. This set also includes The Unaired Pilot to Dangermouse, Sing along Karaoke to the theme song, character biographies and 2 episodes of “Count Duckula”.
