DangerMouse is a
British animated television series which was produced by
Cosgrove Hall Films for
Thames Television.It features the eponymous DangerMouse, a British mouse who works as a
secret agent. The show is a loose
parody of British spy fiction, particularly
James Bond and the
Danger Man series starring
Patrick McGoohan. The hero wears a
rakish eyepatch and his chest is prominently emblazoned with the initials "DM". This causes problems for those translating the series into other languages, where a literal translation of the words "Danger" and "Mouse" do not share those initials; the
Scots Gaelic version, for example, calls the series (and the lead) "Donnie Murdo" (two given names unconnected either with mice or danger). The Slovenian translation omitted the DM initials entirely, however, dubbing DangerMouse Hrabri mišek ("brave mouse"). In French,, trying to keep with the initials, the mouse was named "Dare Dare Motus", "Dare Dare" being French slang for "as fast as possible".
