DVD Reviews of DangerMouse: The Complete Series Megaset
DVD Review: He's the strongest he's the quickest he's the best
Summary: 4 Stars
I finally learned my expensive lesson when I picked up Nero Wolfe - The Complete Classic Whodunit Series; don't buy any individual television season boxsets produced by A&E, because they will eventually put out the complete series in a more affordable and more compact single package.
With "Danger Mouse," sadly, I didn't know this and picked up all of the individual season boxsets when they were released, and only now a few years later did I sell them off and finally pick up this superior Complete Series collection. This box set contains exactly the same DVDs as the previous releases, but packaged in half the space with each season contained in a single DVD case. They could have gone even better by packing them in slim cases, but it is still a big win for taking up less of my valuable shelf space.
As for the series itself, what can I say? I love Danger Mouse, and have even since I first saw it as a kid in the 1980s on Nickelodeon where I watched it along with Bananaman and the spin-off Count Duckula. Essentially a British spy parody, specifically of Patrick McGoohan's Danger Man series, "Danger Mouse" has all the elements necessary for the making of a classic cartoon that can still be enjoyed today. Working within severe budget restrictions, the animation combines cut-paper illustrations reminiscent of Terry Gilliam's work for Monty Python's Flying Circus with traditional cel animation and spot-on voice acting. Because of budget restrictions, the animators had to get creative so Danger Mouse and his assistant Penfold often found themselves in dark rooms, where only their eyes were moving around, or in white snow-bound areas where no landscape was needed. More often than not things just got wacky.
These DVDs have some cool extras, including the never-aired pilot episode "The Mystery of the Lost Chord" that features a different voice cast and shows just how important Sir David Jason (Danger Mouse), Terry Scott (Penfold) and Edward Kelsey (Baron Silas Greenback) were to the production. There are other nice features, like character profiles and the fantabulous "Theme Song Karaoke" because we all know that the Danger Mouse theme song is one of the best ever written.
The only disappointment with this collection is that it is not really "complete," and edits out some of the material. What is missing is the funny narrator intros and outros that appeared between segments, which I remember well from the original run. A&E also released edited versions for their "Nero Wolfe" boxset, which is a bummer. If you are going to label something as "complete" then I wish it truly were!
OK A&E, now I am just waiting for the "Count Duckula Complete Series" set. I am not going to be fooled again into buying individual season boxsets when I know you are going to put out a better release eventually!
