Danger Mouse

Might look Like the original.. The voices are doing pretty good. Old DM= A secret agent the SIZE of a Mouse, with a Few extra brain cells. He was good at Anticipation.. 1 step ahead. Old Assistant= 1/2 bubble off the top..Not stupid but could fall in a hole if you opened it. And abit preoccupied..

NEW DM=Secret agent the Size of a Human. 1/4 extra brain cell, he can find his way threw a Paper bag, but not leave instructions. 1/4 step behind and Reacts to things rather then Anticipates. New Assistant= about the same, Always needing abit of a hand. Willing to follow DM and TRY not to be a Burden..

Entro song, seems abit EDITED..take the old one and make it so they cant CLAIM Copy rights..

The old one was like Inspector Gadget with abit of smarts, and the new one is inspector gadget without the smarts and as BIG as a human..

I remember seeing the old version of this animated series when I was young, I believe it was made in 1981. Pretty enjoyable. Especially the intro theme, after many years the opening song is still catchy to this day.

I got a little curious in seeing this new modern reboot/revival of the cartoon, (kind of a surprise to see they decided show it for the new generation) and let's just say it's even better than expected. The visuals and animation are impressive along with the witty lines and in jokes.

I recommend it to anyone checking it out, you won't be disappointed. A great way to bring back this classic, bigger and better. ;)

To improve on the original seemed impossible but they did it.

If they don't make more episodes, it would be madness.

Chances are nobody was really ready to put of the bunting when it was announced that 80s children's favourite Danger Mouse was being revived. After all said plenty online why not just show the David Jason era episodes again, its not as if they've dated in any meaningful way - the new series essentially proves that to be true as they have changed very little in terms of tone and style. Sure the visuals are slicker but they are very much patterned after the original look and feel while the script and voice characterisation could almost be lifted straight. The casting is pretty much perfect Alexander Armstrong as DM knows when to raise a vocal eyebrow and Kevin Eldon is perfect as Penfold, capturing the essential traits of the little guy who'd love to be big if only he was brave enough (and actually he's happy enough leaving the derring-do stuff to Danger Mouse). The stories are as daft as a brush and all the better for it - its hard not be smile when the villain in an episode is a toilet which has gone through an unintended forced software upgrade. The gags come quick and often and many of the quips will surely zoom right over the heads of the supposed core audience. As such Danger Mouse is arguably wasted on CBBC and instead would make a nice piece of tie-in programming with Pointless on BBC One - after all they have the same lead in both!

If you loved the original series, now is the time to catch the revival on streaming. The unique British absurdity humor is fresh & new, and yet a near perfect manifestation of the original style.

Sure the context of each joke or reference is modern but still uses the playful wit and silliness that makes it fun and funny for any age. As has already been noted, the story lines are pure camp, the characters are caricatures, and plot development completely arbitrary... but it adds to the charm. If you are not a fan of Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Stephen Fry (voices Colonel K), Huge Laurie, etc. then this show if not your cup of tea.
