Count Duckula
Cartoon
The story is that Count Duckula has been active as a vampire for centuriesand that he could only be destroyed by exposure to sunlight or by a wooden stake thrust through his heart.
In fact, Duckula has died numerous deaths, but he always returns through a mystic ritual, performed once a century, "when the moon is in the Eighth House of Aquarius".
Several episodes explore the theme that each resurrection creates a new incarnation with little to no memory of its past life; thus, every incarnation is free to develop its own personality and pursue its own personal interests.
The vampire is thus able to pose as a "dreadful dynasty," the Counts of Duckula. T
The preceding generations included knights, sorcerers, scientists, artists, Egyptologists and even professional gamblers, all of whom were also secretly "vicious vampire ducks".
Yet, as the title sequence put it, "the latest reincarnation did not run according to plan."
The successful conclusion of the ritual requires blood, the source of sustenance for any vampire, but Nanny accidentally substituted tomato ketchup.
Consequently, the newest version is not a blood-sucking vampire, but a vegetarian one.
He is more interested in juicy carrots than hunting for victims. Naturally, Igor is appalled at this.
Even worse, his "new" master is obsessed with pursuing wealth and fame as an entertainer.
The stories often centre around Count Duckula's adventures in search of riches and fame, assisted by the castle's ability to teleport around the world.
I'm teary eyed and overjoyed that finally an old favorite is coming to dvd. For you wee ones this maybe an awesome treat give it a try!
