Character of the Month – Count Duckula Watchability ![]() The show is a loose parody of the story of Count Dracula. Set in Transylvania, Duckula lives in a spooky castle known as Castle Duckula, alongside his butler Igor, and his large nanny (always referred to as "Nanny"). Almost all of the characters in the show are birds. Educational Duckula although being a Vampire Duck, was actually a vegetarian. Which was nice to see in a cartoon. His Butler Igor was always trying to make he follow the family motto, "Per Ardua ad Sanguina" which means "Work hard for blood", though it never worked. Nanny was just so caring and loving for her ‘Ducky Boos’ she’d never let him be nasty. Moral Value
All round good morals in the end. Visual Appeal For being in a Dark Castle most of the time, the animation was clear and bright. Fond Memories
One of my personal favourites, I used to really look forward to seeing this and I remember one Easter getting a Duckula Easter Egg & Mug (which I still have!!!) Overall Did you know... Count Duckula is an animated television series created by British studio Cosgrove Hall, and a spin-off from DangerMouse. In a move mirroring Duckula's adaptation from DangerMouse, the characters of Gaston and Pierre were re-invented and given a spin-off series as the now-human Victor and Hugo. Dr. Von Goosewing had different accents. On the British version, he speaks with a German accent. It was accidentally changed to a Cockney accent for the Network Ten distribution. Despite the Cockney accent, he still has the German one on the video and DVD releases. |
