From 1981 to 1992, this British animated series, created by Brian Cosgrave and Mark Hall, thoroughly entertained the viewers as it was a creative adaptation of the British spy fictions like James Bond and Danger Man.

The series that fascinated the viewers will be targeting the big screen soon however the details on the plot are still unrevealed.
A vintage Britain cartoon series now on the big screen in the 21st century, will it work for an audience which is feasting on Frozen and Minions? This is something which has been seen as a trend where feature films on beloved cartoon characters from the years gone by are being made. For instance, Nickelodeon is commencing a channel dedicated for its 90s animated shows and a Dennis the Menace remake is in process as well.
Danger Mouse movie aims to reach and bring back its old viewers and also expand its approach to the new audience. However, the producers of the film are on their search for a British based writer having a sense of familiarity with the character. They are on their look for a writer who can maintain the standard of the franchise and also develop the lead character to be appealing to the new and contemporary audience.
