5.0 out of 5 stars CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS ON DVD!!!, Oct 5 2005
By Tim Janson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Count Duckula: The Complete First Season (DVD)
As a huge fan of Daffy, Donald, Scrooge McDuck, and duck animation in general, I simply cannot believe that Count Duckula is being released on DVD. All I can say is WOW!

Count Duckula got his start in the popular British Cosgrove-Hall cartoon Dangermouse and eventually got spun off into his own series on Nickelodeon which ran for 65 episodes. The count's voice was done by David Jason who also did the voice for Danger Mouse. Duckula was joined in his castle by his servant Igor and a housekeeper called nanny who botched up Duckula's return to life by bringing ketchup instead of blood turning Duckula vegetarian. From this outrageous premise we got one of the truly underrated and hysterical animated shows in recent memory.

This set features 26 Episodes over 3 discs. The episode list is:

No Sax Please - We're Egyptian

Vampire Vacation

One Stormy Night

Transylvanian Homesick Blues

Restoration Comedy

Mutinous Penguins

Dr. Von Goosewings Invisible Ray

Down Under Duckula

All in a Fog

Castle Duckula: Open to the Public

Ghost of McCastle McDuckula

Igor's Busy Day

Autoduck

The Vampire Strikes Back

Hardluck Hotel

The Hunchbudgie of Notre Dame

Dear Diary

Rent a Butler

Jungle Duck

Mobile Home

A Fright at the Opera

Dr. Goosewing and Mr. Duck

Town Hall Terrors

Sawdust Ring

Duck and the Broccoli Stalk

Family Reunion

The set also includes interviews with the show's creators. I can't say enough how great Duckula was. Really ahead of it's time in many ways and great to have on DVD.

This review is from: Count Duckula: The Complete First Season (DVD)
You know, I was a little apprehensive at first. I bought this dvd set after having not seen any Count Duckula since I was at least 10 years old. Now, at 27 ripe years of age, I wondered if my memories of the cartoon hadn't just maybe exaggerated the true quality of it just a little bit. Did I remember a show, or did I just THINK that I remembered it?

My fears have been allayed after only watching the first couple of episodes. The cartoon is just as clever and silly as I remembered it to be. To those who are unfamiliar with Count Duckula, there are some things you should know: first off - you MUST enjoy terrible puns, delivered in an understated British manner. Such as: "Where is Igor with that bread? He must be a loafer." Get it? If not, then this show may not be for you.

Second, this show is just as good as DangerMouse, in my opinion. Cosgrove Hall has made some amazingly creative cartoons, all done with a cheekiness and subtle brilliance that must be commended. I imagine the studio as the kind of place where the animators and writers have a lot of great fun, and it translates into the cartoons.

Third, that theme song, man. Buy the DVD just for the theme song.

I'm so glad that this set came out. And just in case you're wondering, the picture and sound quality are VERY good, considering this is a cartoon that has been largely lost (though not forgotten) for 15-20 years or so. If you have any fond memories of Count Duckula - any whatsoever - don't hesitate to purchase this dvd set. You will NOT be disappointed.
