Mighty Mouse: Difference between revisions

[[File:mighty_mouse_b_6843_2173.jpg|frame|Here I come to save the day!]]

 

 

A [[Superhero]] anthropomorphic mouse saves the day, the world and his girlfriend, Pearl Pureheart. Originally one of the [[Terry Toons]] (yes, from the same fine company as [[Heckle and Jeckle]]) from [[The Golden Age of Animation]].

 

The series was remade again in the late 1980's for [[CBS]]' Saturday morning cartoon block by famed animator [[Ralph Bakshi]]. His ''Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures'' was a highly innovative, [[This Is Your Premise on Drugs|completely batshit insane]], [[Too Good to Last]] series that pioneered the anarchic pop-culture obsessed, [[Periphery Demographic|young adult-attracting]] style of television cartoons which flourished in the 1990's. Many of those who worked, created or had major impact on those later shows originally found writing and animation jobs for ''Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures'' including Bakshi's long time friend and prostege [[John Kricfalusi]], [[DCAU|Bruce Timm]], [[Tiny Toon Adventures|Jim Reardon]] and [[Animaniacs|Tom Minton]]. Sadly, if remembered at all, it's usually for the controversy surrounding a scene in which Mighty Mouse sniffed some crushed flowers that looked a heck of a lot like cocaine. The creators contend to this day that it was unintentional, but considering how every episode seemed ever more dedicated to [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]], there really isn't a whole lot of plausible deniability.
