Product Description

Six episodes of cartoon comedy from the vegetarian vampire duck. In 'No Sax Please We're Egyptian', Duckula travels to Egypt in search of the Golden Saxophone. 'Vampire Vacation' sees Duckula visiting his cousin Diego in Spain, and does a bit of bullfighting. In 'One Stormy Night', Doctor Von Goosewing sneaks into Castle Dracula and builds a robot monster to defeat poor Duckula. In 'Transylvanian Homesick Blues', Duckula goes time travelling with Igor and Nanny, and ends up stuck in the middle of the French Revolution. 'Restoration Comedy' sees Duckula's domestic staff going on strike when the duck decides to re-vamp his castle. In 'The Mutinous Penguins', Duckula and his chums set off in search of their missing home, but end up stranded in the Arctic with a group of slumbering vikings!

5.0 out of 5 stars In the heart of Transylvania, in the vampire hall of fame... 28 Mar 2002
By "ladyjuliet"
Format:DVD
I purchased this DVD for my younger sister's 18th birthday and what a nostalgia trip it turned out to be! I remembered how much I loved this cartoon and Cosgrove Hall when I was younger and it really did bring me back to my cildhood.

You get six episodes from the first series, there aren't any extras but that doesn't really matter. The animation quality is excellent, as are the voices provided by the talented David Jason, Brian Truman, and the late Jack May.

Throughout the various episodes, Duckula goes on vacation to visit his family in Spain (and ends up fighting a viscious bull!), does some adventuring in Egypt, attempts to get his gloomy castle decorated by a Laurence Lwellyen-Bow type (including Hall of Mirrors), does some time-travel and gets chased by a ressurected Duckula! All the silly gags add to the fun, and don't forget the great narrator! Goodnight out there... whatever you are!!!

A MUST HAVE for all Cosgrove Hall fans and big kids alike! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Essence of Blood 6 April 2005
By "xxravenfeatherxx"
Format:DVD
As a child of the 80's we were granted many of the great cartoons ever. For instance Thundercats, He-man, Dangermouse and of course the great Count Duckula! This cartoon brings me back to my childhood. When i found out that you could get Count Duckula on DVD, I hit the roof! I was so excited that they decided to ditribute it and I have now a copy in my hands. The animation, the voices, just the whole ambience of the cartoon is a treasure and I have passed on the bug to my younger siblings who missed the original runs and they love it too. If you want to have something to give you a throwback to the eighties, purchace this! You will not regret it! Even if it is to watch the idiosity that is nanny or the sarcasm of Igor!
