Movie Details

Having churned out an awesome 24 episodes for its sixth season, the satirical British animated series Danger Mouse cut back to a more manageable (and economical) six episodes for season seven. The opener is "Danger Mouse on the Orient Express," which, if you listen very closely, contains an unintentional reference to the yet-to-be-produced Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends." In "The Ultra Secret Secret," intrepid secret agent Danger Mouse reluctantly teams with his arch enemy Baron Greenback to save the world from alien invasion. Another Cosgrove-Hall cartoon creation is spotlighted in "Duckula Meets Frankenstoat," but Danger Mouse is in there somewhere. "Where There's a Well There's Away" features one of the hero's many set-tos with Merlin the Magician. In "All Fall Down," Danger Mouse must make the world shatterproof; and in "Turn of the Tide," a gravitational catastrophe forces Danger Mouse's assistant Penfold to invoke the names of Copernicus and Mr. Lar Busom (or as he puts it, "Copper Nickers and Large Bosom"). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
