‘Count Duckula: The Complete Collection' is a 7-disc set that includes all 4 series of the classic Cosgrove Hall animation.
Airing between 1988 and 1993 ‘Count Duckula' is a spin-off of the Cosgrove Hall classic ‘Danger Mouse' (in turn another Cosgrove Hall animation ‘Victor and Hugo' was a spin-off of Count Duckula based on villains Gaston and Pierre). Both ‘Danger Mouse' and ‘Count Duckula' are voiced by David Jason. Count Duckula was a recurring villain in the ‘Danger Mouse' series having once teamed up with Danger Mouse's arch-enemy Silas Greenback. In the ‘Count Duckula' series Duckula is no longer villainous and is now a vegetarian due to his resurrection ritual being conducted with tomato ketchup instead of blood. And he even occasionally wears Danger Mouse branded pyjamas.
Nickelodeon commissioned ‘Count Duckula' after ‘Danger Mouse' had become a major hit for the channel. A Nickelodeon executive saw a drawing of Duckula from his appearance on ‘Danger Mouse' and wanted him to be the star of the new show.
Barry Clayton narrates the beginning and end of every Count Duckula episode in a parody of Vincent Price’s iconic voice overs.
‘Count Duckula: The Complete Collection' will be released by Fabulous Films Ltd / Spirit Entertainment on 3rd June 2024.
