Ok, Dangermouse was a British Cartoon that I still find highly
amusing. The main characters were Dangermouse, a white mouse with an
eyepatch; Penfold, his ineffectual, bumbling, hamster sidekick; Baron
Silas Greenback, an evil toad and archnemesis of DM; and Stiletto,
Greenbacks supposedly Italian crow sidekick (Imagine your typical British
person attempting to impersonate an Italian accent).
Duckula appeared twice on Dangermouse as a sort of Guest villain.
All that was revealed on the DM show was that he was a vampire duck, and
that his main ambition was to be on television, even though he was an
atrocious actor. In the Duckula series, (what little I remember of it), he
had a giant, teleporting castle, and a largish butler. It was revealed
that he drained the juices from vegetables, much like Bunnicula
