DangerMouse is a British animated television series which was produced by Cosgrove Hall Films.

It features the eponymous DangerMouse, a British mouse that works as a secret agent. The show is a loose parody of British spy fiction, particularly James Bond and the Danger Man series starring Patrick McGoohan.

This causes problems for those translating the series into other languages, where a literal translation of the words “Danger” and “Mouse” do not share those initials; the Scots Gaelic version, for example, calls the series (and the lead) “Donnie Murdo” (two given names unconnected either with mice or danger).
