The Adventures of Dynamo Duck

I don't know why IMDb lists this as a 30-minute movie. I'm familiar with the 2-minute shorts that aired as filler between Saturday AM cartoons on FOX in 1991-1992. In the mid 90's, I saw expanded 5-minute episodes and a lot more in the series on an obscure overnight network feed for independent stations known as Network One (N1). Simply put, live animals were cast on miniature sets with mini props and voice-overs that made this an endearing series.

Dan Castellaneta (Homer Simpson fame) is reported to be the voice of Dynamo Duck for both seasons, though he's more recognizable in season one Dynamo. Perhaps the actor listed here on page one did the second season Dynamo. If not, I don't know why the voice was either recast or changed. I guess season two Dynamo needed to sound more Don Adams-ish.

This was a great series that must not fade into obscurity. It became a cult classic in the early 90's and got buried in overnight showings on N1 in the mid 90's. It must be brought back to TV and released on DVD. It is suitable for all ages.

If you liked "Lance Link, Secret Chimp", you'll like The Adventures of Dynamo Duck. It's so silly it has no choice but to be funny. Even when you're sober! You have a bunch of wee animals - baby duck-sized - in costumes, running around little urban and "town&county" type sets, doing all of the secret agent cliches. The over-dubbed voices are a real hoot! The "episodes" are only a couple of minutes long and the puns are perfectly bad! If you see it scheduled, tape it!

As biffbiffaman said in their review, I remember this as a TV series. Each episode was surprisingly funny and had its own charm (grown-ups and kids find it enjoyable) if you can track it down give it a watch (was ok YouTube)
