| 1) If you liked "Lance Link, Secret Chimp", you’ll likeThe Adventures of Dynamo Duck.It’s so silly it has no choice but to be funny.Even when you’re sober!You have a bunch of wee animals – baby duck-sized – in costumes, runningaround little urban and "town&county" type sets, doing all of the secretagent cliches. The over-dubbed voices are a real hoot!The "episodes" are only a couple of minutes long and the puns areperfectlybad!If you see it scheduled, tape it!
2) I don’t know why IMDb lists this as a 30-minute movie. I’m familiar withthe 2-minute shorts that aired as filler between Saturday AM cartoons onFOXin 1991-1992. In the mid 90’s, I saw expanded 5-minute episodes and a lotmore in the series on an obscure overnight network feed for independentstations known as Network One (N1). Simply put, live animals were cast onminiature sets with mini props and voice-overs that made this an endearingseries. Dan Castellaneta (Homer Simpson fame) is reported to be the voice ofDynamoDuck for both seasons, though he’s more recognizable in season two Dynamo.Perhaps the actor listed here on page one did the first season Dynamo. Ifnot, I don’t know why the voice was either recast or changed. I guessseason two Dynamo needed to sound more Don Adams-ish. This was a great series that must not fade into obscurity. It became acultclassic in the early 90’s and got buried in overnight showings on N1 inthemid 90’s. It must be brought back to TV and released on DVD. It issuitable for all ages. |
