Count Duckula (character): Difference between revisions

Line 31:

:''See: [[Duckula Incarnations]]''

Duckula has lived quite a few lives before this. The episodes '[[Dear Diary]]' and '[[The Rest is History]]' ~~shows~~ previous lives as his great grandfather, an ambassador, a knight -- and, simply, a count. In fact, the first Duckula was no vampire at all, but a polite young count who was bit by a vampire bat.

The character differs considerably from his predecessor on the 'Danger Mouse' series. In fact, the only similarities, other than the name, is they are both vampire ducks with ambitions in show business with little actual talent. The previous version of Duckula was an evil villain, willing to blackmail and force his way into stardom (as opposed to the current Count, who merely tries to get in the legitimate way) and was fixated on being a television star, rather than settle for fame in some other branch of entertainment. He has far greater magical powers and makes much more use of them. He has a thick accent consisting of lisping, stuttering and occasional squawks.
