The Danger Mouse series is a James Bond parody. The main character of the same name is a secret agent with the British Secret Service . Danger Mouse and his sidekick Lübke are repeatedly assigned by Colonel K , the head of the secret service, to save the world.

They work below Scotland Yard on Baker Street in London, hidden behind a large post box. The organization FOWL ( F hese O rganization for w eltweite L umpereien) and its head, Baron disgust Etzmolch , the sworn enemies of Danger Mouse are. They try to achieve world domination with unconventional means such as bagpipes, theft of all famous buildings, giant robots, etc.

Characters

  • Danger Mouse is a brave and fearless white mouse with an eye patch. He represents the absolutely perfect agent who combines all the necessary qualities that are necessary to be a superhero who constantly fights against evil. It is not always easy for Danger Mouse and he often gets into precarious situations, from which he can always wriggle himself out.
  • Lübke (originally Ernest Penfold ) is an imperturbably cowardly hamster. He is also employed by the British Secret Service and is Danger Mouse's assistant. But he is rarely of great help. Rather, Lübke always likes to give the complete ignoramus and idiot on duty, which then leads to Danger Mouse's favorite saying, "Lübke, Schnauze!" Or "Schnauze, Lübke!", At irregular intervals.
  • Colonel K is a goofy chinchilla and the boss and client of Danger Mouse. His eyes are constantly on the lookout for new dangers threatening peace.
  • Baron Ekel von Etzmolch (originally Baron Silas Greenback ) is a fat toad. He is the cunning adversary of the secret service and is the boss of the FOWL organization. His creativity, his imagination when it comes to endangering world peace and putting himself into power seem limitless. Etzmolch embodies the classic villain who is only interested in his own interests.
  • Nero is a small white fluffy caterpillar. It is the lap or cuddly animal of Baron Graf von Etzmolch. Since Danger Mouse is a Bond satire, Nero represents the counterpart to the white Persian cat of Bond villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld .
  • Stiletto Mafiosi is a crow and the assistant of Baron von Etzmolch.

speaker

There are two different German dubbed versions with different speakers, because the WDR did not have all episodes dubbed by Film- & Fernseh-Synchron in Munich in the 1980s . Nearly ten years later was Kabel 1 , the Plaza synchronous entrusted with the consideration of the remaining episodes. (In the Kabel 1 version, the German speakers for Danger Mouse and Lübke sing along with the song in German.)
