Featured in The 100 Greatest Cartoons (2005) (TV)

Part Rocky and Bullwinkle, Part Monty Python, Part James Bond, all great!

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".
