Count Duckula Reimagined

I started this project back in mid January of this year after watching a load of episodes of the original count Duckula series that are all up on youtube for free!
I wanted to make something different from my usual work and felt that recreating the intro to a show I loved watching when I was growing up would be a good way of doing that!
Thank you so much to all my friends who contributed, be it with the stunning portraits scattered around the castle, or the delightfully monsterous Organ at the beginning, aswell as the absolutely brilliant cover of the theme song played at the end!
Thank you all so much for watching, I hope you liked it!

I love how duckula has big fangs in stead of almost no fangs like in the show. (Really shows he's actually a vampire)

[@Theokal3]

Same. I know the point was to make play into the more harmless aspect but he's still supposed to be a vampire^^

[@robonaught]

@@Theokal3 Heck even fruit bats have fangs so it would make sense for a vegetarian vampire that feeds on fruit and veg to have fangs

[@kotenox]

The more evil his reincarnation is, the bigger are his fangs, if I remember correctly one has huge fangs, big like spider fangs on spider ratio.

[@minicle426]

Doesn't he get them back in an episode due to one of Goosewing's devices making him briefly act evil?

[@shannonnightsky6656]

​It's from an episode when he added the carpet shampoo in a bottle of milk and mixed it together@@minicle426

[@jameslevy8347]

Very well done. I wish they made a remake of Count Duckula.

[@Cole-hg1oh]

Omg it would be soo good

[@Babbleplay]

@@Cole-hg1oh Coinflip. It would either be amazing, or painfully bad; few remakes are in the middle, for some reason.

[@TAEDRAWS]

Amazingly well done!I love the animation and the cover at the end really set it apart from the rest! Love it so much. Well done everyone!

[@RobTFirefly]

Nice work, and I really appreciate that you fixed the one detail about that intro that's been bothering me since I was a kid; you actually animated him SAYING the "Count Duckula!" bit over the logo instead of just gesturing with his mouth closed while his voice said it.

[@magpieMOB]

This is gorgeous! It did my soul good to see Ducky Boos, Igor and Nanny given such a makeover and animated with so much personality - also loved your action animation, beautiful cartoon physics and very satisfying to watch

[@Theokal3]

Wow, love it! I admit, it's a nice touch that you put back some of the vampiric traits such as fangs and apparently an ability to shapeshift/turn into a shadow. And it does a good job at updating the style/animation^^

[@vaderetro9648]

I would trust that a revival of this animated series would be made ❤️

[@dreamguardian8320]

If you ask me, I think it would be safer if we just leave well enough alone.

[@vaderetro9648]

​@@dreamguardian8320True, some cartoons deserve to be preserved and are fine as is. However, this intro is so professional that it seems like it's from some real Count Duckula revival.

[@Lindsay-nx5sv]

I love how you incorporated the Duckula Family from the reunion episode into the opening. This animation was so fluid and perfect. I like this better than the original. You made sure that Duckula kept his teeth. He looks even better. Such fond memories. This was the only show that could motivate me to get up at 4 in the morning to watch since that was the only time slot given Stateside in the early 90s.

[@kingkoopa8683]

That was terrific! It's been forever since I last saw this lil' fella In ages until now! Just wait till Danger Mouse gets his treatment of a reanimated collab soon enough!

[@rankichan866]

Always get joy at the part Duckula leaps out of his portrait with such style ;) And love how he keeps his fangs to fit his vampire (though vegetarian) characterisation, gotta need to suck out the juice somehow.

[@AwesomeHyperSonic547]

Just wow, this is incredible! 👏👏 I always wondered what a rebooted or reimagined version of Count Duckula would look like. If Danger Mouse managed to get a reboot, then I don't see why Count Duckula couldn't get one. 😉

[@christopherscherer23]

well you mean duclula the 1rst....he dose apear in the 2016 dangermouse reboot, but im prety sure that was an eviler....and better exuted durring the ritual (as in they only used half ketchup and the other was real blood)...decendent of this duckula.....

[@WileyKoyote]

Congratulations on the release, bud. It looks fantastic all together like this. 😄 Everyone did such a fabulous job. Also, super appreciate getting to be part of the project with the cover at the end.

[@DuckyThePlatypus]

omgg. i loved every aspect of this. the design works really well, i love his big goofy fangs and how they got stuck in the harmonica hehe.💜

[@davidlevy706]

I don't know why the KZbin algorithm just recommended this June 2022 video to me, but I'm glad that it did. Very well done! _Count Duckula_ was popular in the US as well, as was _Danger Mouse_ before it. These shows provided my earliest exposure to UK television, along with _SuperTed,_ _Bananaman,_ and _Super Gran._

[@sebcrazytoons5340]

This came out amazing!!! Super honoured to have been part of this project ^^ Everyone did such an amazing job!! ^^

[@shinigamiphantom1391]

One of my favorite cartoons from 90's. Polish dub was a masterpiece.

[@cherrypotion27]

Hey Edwar, love this take on Count Duckula. I love the cartoon, and the 1988 version of Duckula (good guy, vegetarian version who got his own show, as opposed to the 1981 and 2015 villian versions) has always been my favorite. And I love your redesign of Duckula himself; he's just as adorable as the 1988 version.

[@christopherscherer23]

2015 ducluckula was confimered to still be vegitartian.....its just REALY QUICK!

[@infiniduck4303]

If Count Duckula EVER gets a reboot, it should definitely be YOUR version.

[@LauraAmyWilliamsOfficial]

I love how Mr. Duckula is designed in this splendid recreation! :)

[@VorusEggvo]

it was so much fun, I was almost hoping for a whole episode haha! Very well done ^_^

[@alyssamontgomery2978]

THIS IS AMAZING! And it's So fluid, they look So cool, & the Song! 😆

[@KRiver-fv6on]

You guys did a great job, as friends and team! Count Duckula is a drawing of a cool generation! This idea of ​​remaking the concept was super genius! I loved the voice at the end of the credits by Wiley Koyote! Genius!!! Success for you! 😎

[@jamiehope4580]

Definitely needs to come back to the screens without being ruined by modern interpretation like many classics have.

[@amybachelder9888]

Old school so awesome

[@skellington8090]

This looks awesome! I’d totally watch it if it was rebooted!

[@drink_soup]

❤ amazing!

[@k.b7020]

THIS IS EXCELLENT. I LOVE DUCKULA

[@jasonfrancis698]

Awesome Animation. If This Gets The Green Light For The Duckula Reboot Then That Is FANGTASTIC!👍👍👍

[@TomLord99]

Woah great job! Duckula is one of my favourite shows, so it's great to see it get some attention!

[@ZoahLord]

Superb. Loved seeing more of the dynasty during the line "the counts of Duckula". Plus you've made Igor look more menacing, which suits his ambition to return Duckula to true vampirism. Excellent work! Also - Gwaed Cymraeg am byth! (no pun intended) ;)

[@ryanedlington7585]

I love Duckula and the original show and I love this reimagined version of the show even more it's brilliant! 😊👻🦴💀😸

[@laurenjeffery340]

0:49 Nice reference to Disney's The Owl House, there. Eda's good old Apple Blood. ;)

as someone who learnt of this duck thanks to my father who grew up with it and danger mouse i dig this!

[@drsillysausage]

THIS IS AMAZING

[@eaglejones856]

I would love to see the whole show reanimated like this this would be awesome

[@singacha3785]

I love this as long time fan of count Duckula I love this remake)

[@DharkSamuel]

Thanks for this, Count Duckula was one of my all time favz as a child. I honestly wish they would bring him back so kids today can experience the vegetarian vampire for themselves.

[@ravnmaster]

I’d watch it. I love the original when I was young

[@tangerine_ren]

THIS IS INCREDIBLE excellently animated!! I would be obsessed with a reimagined duckula if it looked like this

[@Glitchfishy]

😩❤️ My god how this has come together! I'm so proud of you and everyone involved! I love it so much :D! Amazing work!

I remember this coming on Nickelodeon at 8pm when I was a kid. I had to go to bed at that time since it was my bed time and my mother absolutely HATED this show with a passion.

[@muzzshow6179]

I can not describe how much this means to me, I was brought up on this incredible show and it heavily influenced my love for art and my style too, absolutely amazing how you’ve reimagined it! Also that Don Diego sketch at the end made my life you’ve honoured a fave of mine there .🤟

[@infiniduck4303]

I LOVE your take on Count Duckula. It looks more macabre while still keeping its original cartoonish charm. I also love the re-designs of the characters, especially Duckula (who looks more like a vampire despite still being vegetarian) and Igor (who looks even more grim and eerie). And one other thing, I wish we could get a downloadable MP3 of Wiley Koyote’s cover of the theme song. (It sounds just like the original with a more spooky rock feel.)

[@rustyshackleferd8236]

This reboot intro was excellent. ^u^ Count Duckula is long overdue for a reboot. He appeared in the Danger mouse reboot. Now it's Duckula's turn. :)

I'm REALLY glad you gave Duckula a redesign! I'm glad that he appeared in the new Danger Mouse series, but his design was kinda "Meh". I think it's the hair! I'm happy that you kept some of Duckula's original design from the classic series!

[@EdwarAnimation]

Thank you! I get you with the dm design but i do appreciate what they were trying to do with the design. I really like the inclusion of purple in that version so wanted to bring that into this design

[@mollyroselachihuahua]

This is too pretty 🥺❤️

[@kotenox]

Weird Duckula facts: 1) His servants are unnaturally tough, Igor fell three floors and was unscratched. 2) The servants are inmortal too. 3) The buttler has a crush in his evil version. 4) Each new iteration of Duckula inherits traits from the past one. 5) While most iterations are evil, the original Duckula had a sweet nature, and loved flowers. 6) The failed reincarnation is the closest to his original personality, but is not the same. 7) His evil versions can be very nasty, very evil, poweful and scary. He has done evil things to people just for fun. One of them said once that he hates everyone and he dislikes even himself. 6) He must have been a powerful sorcerer at least in one of his reincarnations. 7) Dr. Von Goosewing has been using rooms in the castle, and no one's caught him. 8) Duckula is broke and hasn't paid his servants in years. 9) The incarnation before the failed one, was a scientist. 10) The more evil hi is, the bigger are his fangs. 11) The incarnation after the failed one, can turn people into vegetables. 12) His failed reencarnation uses the torture chamber to press flowers. 13) Duckula likes women, but some of his buttler's comments seem to imply he is bi. 14) His powers change from reincarnation to reincarnation. 15) In a comic he has a girlfriend.

[@traviskenzy3481]

I think in a remake of the cartoon show of count Duckula he should be voiced by Richard Steven horvitz

[@larrywarner9684]

This would've been better if the 1960s Thames ident were added.

[@isaactoonamazingideas]

[@surge78]

If they recreated this in a more modern times I'd watch just to see how he reacts to the more modern times

[@willowmcintire21]

Okay, in this age when everyone is reaching into the 80s and 90s for ideas, can we have this exact reimagining? Like with the cover of the theme song. Also, is there an extended version of the song? Because I'd love to hear the whole thing with the closing credit lyrics.

It’s obvious that Count Duckula’s a vegetarian. Why would he have fangs in the first place?
