A brand new series of Danger Mouse is currently available on Netflix. Let me tell you the series will not disappoint. It plays homage to both the original classic series which ran between 1981 – 1991 and today’s audience. Of course there has been some major changes…which I think make the series more enjoyable. In the original they shared the world with humans and there size often varied in scale. But in the new series Danger Mouse lives in a world of anthropomorphic animals. The faster pace really helps the series…as the original could sometimes drag. Their M is now a woman who speaks her mind. She doesn’t hold back if she thinks something stupid is going on.
Other than that and new stories obviously, the new Danger Mouse series is quite fun, I am happy to see they kept the sometimes silly interaction with the narrator in the new series and the voices are almost an exact match of the original series.
One last thing I thoroughly get the joke. In the original series Danger mouse lived in a pillar box IE Mailbox. Except he and the organization he belongs to now works out of an office building size pillar box. It’s silly, funa and great all at the same time. All I can say if you have Netflix of have access to CBBC go check it out. It’s furry friendly.
