Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

anxietyresister Immediately after Dangermouse, David Jason recorded the voice for a TV series based loosely on one of the spin-off characters from the programme. This would be a vegetarian duck who comes from a long lineage of nasty vampires who are resurrected every 100 years by using an ancient incantation and a bottle of blood. Sadly, there is a slight mishap with this particular ceremony and instead of a bloodthirsty creature from the deep, we get a egotistical music-loving weakling who enjoys nothing better than munching on piece of celery. Together with his stupid but tough nanny and his shady butler Igor, he lives in a dark castle on a mountain in Transylvania called appropriately enough 'Castle Duckula' from where he can teleport around the world by simply entering a magic crypt. These zany adventures last for 4 series, and the plots get every weirder and whackier...Possessing much the same sense of humour as it's better known predecessor, this is one of those classic cartoon series from your childhood that you're never likely to forget. It had the lot: Colourful animation, witty story lines, off-the-wall characters and a GREAT theme tune. Having just purchased the first season on DVD, I was very surprised about how well it held up, and I look forward to spending 11 hours (according to the box) reacquainting myself with an old favourite. If only the likes of Nickelodian would look at 'Count Duckula' today and take some notes... don't patronise children with endless cheesy action and stupid morals, THIS is how it's done. Now its time for me to go but... "Goodnight out there, whatever you are!!" ;) 8/10

SmashMonkey being a massive fan of dangermouse, i had seen duckula before he got his own series. i was so glad that he did! growing up in the 80's, everybody i knew loved duckula and, despite being called nanny for 5 years by a boy who could imitate Igor's voice quite scarily well, so did i. the silliness of the show, which would have seemed tacky anywhere else, worked perfectly. the characters were marvellous and the whole show was wickedly funny. watching duckula's old retainer Igor trying to turn him from a vegetarian into the bloodthirsty fiend he was meant to be always made me feel slightly sorry for the spooky old butler. nanny (the nanny) crashed her way through every scene she was in, with her frilly cap and arm in a sling, ready to hand out broccoli lollipops and over-enthusiastic hugs. duckula's thirst for fame, rather than blood, led him and his entourage on many crazy adventures in their teleporting castle, which would always return to its transylvanian mountain-top at dawn, with or without its inhabitants. of course, every vampire has his nemesis, and duckula's was doctor Von goosewing who, along with his invisible assistant heinrich, would do his very best to destroy duckula. the writing was sharp and always funny, the title music was perfection and the show as a whole was a rare treat for children (and adults) of all ages which will never be bettered. a perfect 10 in every way.

dcolwill You can pick up this little beauty on DVD or VHS!This cartoon completed my childhood, I was a Children's ITV viewer til I was a teenager! Which wasn't all that long ago.It was of course only supplemental to a strict course of 'Dangermouse', 'The Wind in the Willows', 'Trapdoor'(oh yes!!), not to mention 'Button Moon'.In the heart of transylvania, la-la-la la-la la-la la something something something.... duckulaaaaaaaaaaaah!So cool.

dootuss I loved this show when I was a kid. It was a very entertaining. The characters were funny (especially our Veggie loving vampire duck, and Nanny), and the episodes were cleverly written. I remember laughing out loud when Von Goosewing would go after Count Duckla. I think they should bring this back on television as well as the show it spun off from which was the equally funny "Danger Mouse" Besides you can't get enough of Count Duckula! 10/10.
