A little trip down Memory Lane
Mar. 1st, 2007 04:56 pmI had a lovely surprise a few days ago. Rooting through a box for something quite different, I discovered a Dangermouse DVD I'd bought before I went away last summer and then forgotten all about.
I loved Dangermouse as a kid - which isn't necessarily the best advertisment as I liked all sorts of dodgy things too - but I'd quite forgotten how clever Dangermouse is. Fruity British accents! Devilish plots! Sinister hoarse-voiced evil amphibians! Paranoid announcers! Explosions! Ridiculous in-jokes! Nero the sinister gibbering catterpillar!
I haven't had so much fun since I discovered Black Cat Policeman in China (another fantastic animated animal superhero from 1980s China - who deserves a whole entry in himself).
Does anyone else remember Dangermouse? Failing that, I'd love to hear about the cartoons that made your childhood.
