label : Danger Mouse cartoon character, Danger Mouse cartoon animated movie tv series, Danger Mouse funy pictures. The hero wears a rakish eyepatch and his chest is prominently emblazoned with the initials 'DM'. This causes problems for those translating the series into other languages, where a literal translation of the words 'Danger' and 'Mouse' do not share those initials; the Scots Gaelic version, for example, calls the series (and the lead) 'Donnie Murdo' (two given names unconnected either with mice or danger). The Slovenian translation omitted the DM initials entirely, however, dubbing Danger Mouse Hrabri miĊĦek ('brave mouse'). In French, trying to keep with the initials, the mouse was named "Dare Dare Motus", "Dare Dare" being French slang for "as fast as possible".
Danger Mouse was the first British cartoon to break into the American TV market, being shown in syndication on 4 June 1984, where it garnered a tremendous fan following that still exists. Since it went off air it has been periodically repeated and been released on DVD. In the United States it was broadcast on Nickelodeon in the 1980s in the late afternoons and in the early evenings as a segue into prime-time hours (as the A&E Network and later Nick-At-Nite) as the series appealed to both pre-teens and adults with its quick-witted British humour.
Although all the characters in the series are animals, the adventures of Danger Mouse appear to be taking place alongside the human world; there are various examples of a mouse-sized Danger Mouse walking through human-scale sets, standing on table-football tables and, not least, living inside a normal size pillar box. This becomes less consistent as the series goes on, as many later episodes show the characters as being human size. There are also times when the cast attempts to deliberately interact with humans (such as Duckula mind-controlling human Members of Parliament to be as showbiz-mad as he is, as well as the episode "Trip To America" where Danger Mouse and Penfold are seen to interact with a Texan).In Australia, it was first broadcast on ABC TV, then in 1996 it was on Network Ten. It is still best remembered as a Classic ABC program. It was also the first British cartoon to break into Cheez TV, being shown on the weekdays. In Britain's Channel 4's 100 Greatest Kids' TV shows Danger Mouse came third, beaten only by The Muppet Show and The Simpsons. [1]
As a cost-cutting measure, the cartoons made frequent use of repeated footage and "in the dark" sequences (black with eyeballs visible only, or, in Danger Mouse's case, simply one eyeball).
Although rumours of a CGI revival of the show have persisted in recent years, no official announcements have been made. [2] The original Danger Mouse has returned to terrestrial television after the BBC purchased episodes of the series to broadcast in its daytime schedules with its first broadcast on 12 February 2007.
