Fah-fah-fah-fahhhhhntastic!
The DVD features a nice interactive menu and special features disc with interviews featuring one of the original creators.It also has a guide to drawing Duckula, which is fun for children.However, the part you all want to read about - the shows - are great.Colour is vibrant, audio is clear and the content is still great to view as a young adult.I would recommend the purchase, and as this arrived I immediately purchased series 2 and 3 owing to the quality of this product.5*

At last the DVD is here
Castle Duckula home for many centuries to a dreadfull dynasty of vicious vampire ducks. The Counts of Duckula....Ok so remembering what was said at the start of every episode since it was last on ITV is a bit sad, but at least it is far better than what passes for children's cartoons today. Watching this again as an adult I still find it as funny as I did whilst at school. Young or old you can't help but laugh at the escapades of the 'vegitarian vampire duck' along with his butler (Egor) and his brainless Nanny.

Cartoon Perfection!
Count Duckula takes me straight back to my childhood. Getting home from school, sitting down with some orange squash and maybe, just maybe a few choccy biscuits! Settle in and watch CITV for abit of Count Duckula action - SUPERB.Having had a VHS video of Count Duckula I really, really, really hoped they would commission a DVD(s) and we can thank the Good Lord, they finally did. This cartoon is perfection in its purist form. They simply can't or won't make another one as good as this one. You know your in for a treat when the lead character is being voiced by the master himself, David Jason (Danger Mouse and Wind In The Willows).The humour hasn't been lost in the many years since I last saw it as a kid, laughing out loud and smiling all the way through every episode. You somehow appreciate it that little bit more when you watch it as an adult. If you have kids (probably ages 7+) then please buy this as a birthday or xmas prezzy. They may look at you and think " oh dear, what have they gone and purchased here"? But trust me, they'll adore it (I realise I'm asking you to trust someone you dont even know - but hey, it works for Doctor's around the world). The only trouble is they'll want to watch it over and over and over again, but you wont mind because you will too!Writing this review leaves me slightly troubled with two questions:1. Why cant all cartoons be as good/funny as this??2. Will CITV consider re-running the originals??A complete must buy......oh, and the 2nd season is out on 26th March 2007!

AMAZING
Amazing, a complete flash back to my child hood. I loved this when I was a child and I love it more now. I think this would still be popular now. They don't make cartoons like this anymore.
