If you grew up in the U.K., Danger Mouse was likely your favorite go-to action-packed cartoon. The animated kids series spanned 11 seasons and the show was so influential that Netflix has decided to pick it up for a reboot. The first official teaser is finally here.
The colorful clip displays international spy mouse D.M. and his trusty sidekick Penfold springing into action against notorious frog villain Baron Silas Von Greenback. The brief 30-second preview will pique your curiosity and make you want to relive you childhood all over again. The only blaring difference between the spinoff and the hand-drawn original series, as Uproxx points out, seems to be the polished digital animation technology utilized this time around. All episodes of the new season will premiere this Friday, April 29th on Netflix.
