Count Duckula (character): Difference between revisions

Line 34:

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.

== Appearance in other media ==

Though Count Duckula appears primarily as the main protagonist of the Count Duckula cartoon series, as well as the comics and merchandise based on it, however he has made appearances in other media as well.

* Count Duckula's original debut was in the Danger Mouse (1982) episode 37 "''The Four Tasks of Danger Mouse".'' This incarnation was the basis for his character in the Count Duckula Cartoon.

* Count Duckula, Igor, and Nanny make an appearance in an episode of Cosgrove Hall's other cartoon: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_%26_Hugo%3A_Bunglers_in_Crime Victor & Hugo: Bunglers In Crime]. In episode 18 "Treasure Haunt" , the trio makes a guest appearance for majority of the episode. Their designs are largely unchanged from how they appear in Count Duckula cartoon. David Jason reprises his role as Duckula.

* Count Duckula reappears again as an antagonist in the Danger Mouse 2015 reboot. His design in this series is drastically different from original Danger Mouse and the Count Duckula series, but take element of both. He is voiced by Rasmus Hardiker. Duckula as he appeared in the Count Duckula cartoon makes a cameo as a photo in the background of episode 21 "From Duck to Dawn".
