    Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
    Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
    Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
    Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
    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.
    Angel Meiru I remember seeing this cartoon a long time ago. "Danger Mouse", alongside "Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea", "Mysterious Cities of Gold", and various works by Russian Animation studio Soyzmultfilms, are all the titles that have gotten my into the European animation genre.Follow the adventures of secret agent "Danger Mouse" on adventures to twart the hideous Silas Greenback, the mafia-like crow Stiletto and Silas' catepillar pet, as well as saving Penfold from danger (Funny, Penfold is probably the first homosexual character I have seen in a children's show. That is a first).If you want to see this series again, You can find some DVDs of Danger Mouse on Ebay or Amazon.com.Danger Mouse was also followed up by the equally good "Count Duckula".
    spectre316-1 It's almost amazing how entertaining one 10 minute episode of this series is. I almost forgot how satisfying it was since I last saw it, which was back in it's last airings on Nickelodeon. But I recently was able to see a couple episodes, and by God, it's one funny, entertainingly addicting show!It's these kinds of shows that make me wish incredibly bad for the old Nickelodeon. I love the old Nickelodeon with feelings that can't be attached to anything else. It saddens me that I'll probably never be able to see "Mysterious Cities Of Gold" and "Pinwheel" ever again.I think many of us old school Nickelodeon fans are praying for a "Classic Nick" channel where they play all the greatest hits of old Nick all day. Hmm, dreams...
