Count Duckula (1988–1993)
8/10
Saluting the duck
21 March 2005
It's good to see Cosgrove-Hall creators poking fun at the old Dracula movies through this classic cartoon series.

The basic plot line, if you don't already know it, concerns the misadventures of a vegan vampire duck , an outstanding blot on the escutcheon of a proud bloodthirsty race of vampire ducks. Count Duckula is helped or hindered by the Family's fiercely loyal butler with as big a bloodlust as his masters of old, not to mention an amiable if very accident prone giant chicken named Nanny.

The cartoons creators make use of every and any situation to wring the maximum jokes and puns as only Cosgrove and Hall know best. See clichés of the horror movies put through the spoof grinder. A absolute classic of the 80's genre, and well worth a watch.
