Shortly following the television show's United Kingdom debut, Sony Pictures has picked up "Danger Mouse" for an animated feature. According to Tracking Board, the movie may offer clues about the origins of the titular character. Original Film, Fremantle Media and Neal Mortiz will produce.

Originally airing from 1981 to 1992, "Danger Mouse" followed the exploits of the world’s best secret agent and his timid assistant Penfold, who had a tendency to get in the way or, worse, get kidnapped.
