Boat Rocker’s ‘Danger Mouse’ Gets Royal Treatment in MurWalls Deal

Global independent entertainment company Boat Rocker has today announced a deal with U.K. street art company MurWalls for a range of products for classic British comic-strip royalty Danger Mouse and Count Duckula.

MurWalls have signed up to produce their trademark large scale murals of the iconic rodent secret agent, Danger Mouse, and one of his most nefarious adversaries, Count Duckula, along with limited-edition comic strips and merchandise based on the mural artwork and comic-strip illustrations. The products will be widely available on their website and on-line retailers.

The illustrations of the animated pair are created by Alan Case, one of the artists who worked on the Danger Mouse and Count Duckula TV series.

Boat Rocker and MurWalls are crowning the deal with a special celebratory artwork created by MurWalls featuring Danger Mouse in full Coronation garb, watched by his admiring sidekick, Penfold. MurWalls intends to post the artwork on their Instagram channel (@MurWalls) to add to the celebrations around the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III.

Originally produced by Cosgrove Hall Films for Thames Television, Danger Mouse ran on ITV from 1981 to 1992. Licensed to thrill a 21st-century audience, the iconic animation blasted back to TV screens with a gadget-packed, gag-laden makeover on CBBC in September 2015. An instant ratings and critical success, it is now in its third series.

One of Danger Mouse’s original and most popular villains, Count Duckula enjoyed a successful TV spin-off of his own, running for four seasons from 1988 to 1993.

MurWalls is a street art company known for their striking large murals of sporting and music stars as well as popular animation brands such as Care Bears, Transformers and The Amazing Maurice. They notably produced a mural of Queen Elizabeth II for Gainsborough Primary School in East London as a tribute to the monarch following her death last year.
