i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.
Excellent, a Must See
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
View MoreImmediately 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
View MoreThis show is an instant classic for those who enjoy the older forms of British humor of fellows in odd predicaments. The show's humor is craftily done in terms of timing and puns. And overall, it is the ideal show for the fans of the older cartoons in the days of oddball humor. The story centers on a "vampire" duck by the moniker of Duckula who isn't actually a vampire; he's a strict vegetarian, much to the chagrin of his servant, Igor, who insists that Duckula must be a vampire, like his ancestors. Duckula and Igor live in the despairingly gloomy Castle Duckula, which is attended by Duckula's nanny, who goes by her job's name: Nanny, and who is massively strong. The three have their odd adventures and try to make the most of their frequent trips to other areas of the Earth, while dodging villains and pestilences like the dreaded Dr. Von Goosewing, the Crow Brothers, Gaston and Pierre, and a host of other troublemakers. All in all, the show is most amusing for both cartoon lovers and any comedy/horror lover.
View More"Count Duckula" is a GREAT cartoon in all the sense of the word. It has great dialogs backed up by black humor, and inventive lines. The situations are very entertaining and keep the viewer interested the whole time. The humor is very light but manages to make laugh kids and adults. Duckula has the best lines but Nanny and Igor add a lot to the cartoon with their weird sense of humor. On one hand, Nanny is involuntarily funny, and on the other, Igor is wicked and mean but it makes him look funny. The supporting characters are great also.The intro song is a classic! And the closing credits are memorable. I recently catched this hidden gem on Mexican local channels. Every Saturday 2 episodes of Duckula are shown and I truly enjoy them. This is one of the best cartoons ever produced mainly because it's humor is for everyone. Please watch this cartoon, you won't regret. It has a great and inventive story that will get your attention.
