Danger Mouse proves watching TV is good for kids!

It is official: Watching telly as a child can help you make money in later life, meet your heroes and become a more rounded human being. The first two of those statements are indisputable and I'm going to prove to you that the third is equally beyond doubt.

Absurdist sight gags, ludicrous adventures and fantastically bad puns.

Danger Mouse review

The inherent problem in reviewing a remake (the new Danger Mouse) of a retro classic (the original Danger Mouse) is the 'Nostalgia Factor:' the knee-jerk reflex to be unfairly harsh on a recreation of a treasured childhood memory. But, in this case, I'm compelled to adhere to the ironically classic formula: the new Danger Mouse doesn't reinvigorate the original.

Danger Mouse: inside the remaking of a kids' classic

The rodent spy returns for 2015 with a slick new look and the voice of Alexander Armstrong. As we find when we visit the vocal booth though, the cartoon's anarchic spirit remains.
