Line 9:
Remade by Filmation for television in the 1970's in a show starring Mighty Mouse and fellow Terrytoon characters Heckle and Jeckle in a show called The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse and Heckle & Jeckle. This version lasted until the early 1980's and even spawned the movie Mighty Mouse and the Great Space Chase in 1982 (which was originally shown on the TV series in sixteen serialized chapters).
 
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 Onon 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 (Animation)|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.

Line 187:
=== ''Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures'' provides examples of: ===
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Bat-Bat and The League of Super-Rodents are affectionate parodies of DC and Marvel superheroes.
* [[Blatant Lies]]: Why, it was how the show actually ''came to be''. However, that story is best left to the [[Mighty Mouse (Animation)/Quotes|Mighty Mouse quotes page]].
* [[Blunt Metaphors Trauma]] / [[Disregard That Statement]]: in ''Mighty's Wedlock Whimsy,'' a cautionary tale where Mighty Mouse proposes to Pearl, Deputy Dawg is conducting the wedding and starts it with "You have the right to remain silent...anything you say can be used against you..."
* [[Deranged Animation]]: Yes, a heaping pile of it.
