  • Poor wolf, he just wanted to be invited. BUT Mighty Mouse, ahhhhh, my first crush. I would also love them on DVD.

  • Does anyone know why these are not available on DVD? I know the violence thing but please - the Warner Cartoons are out so it's time.

  • @TheGent2 Me too! Tom and Jerry got a DVD release too. Why not Mighty Mouse?

  • @TheGent2 The rights to these old shorts are split between CBS and Paramount, thanks to Viacom's 2006 split up. The 80s NEW ADVENTURES OF MIGHTY MOUSE, by Ralph Bakshi, DID get a DVD in 2010.

  • @GoblinXXX : I have that set. I'm just bummed that the originals aren't in a set. Oh, and of the samples that are included in the Bakshi DVD - I can do without the third one. Although seeing the three actually shows how animation changed - due to production costs. Well, the willingness to pay them, anyway.

  • @TheGent2 The theatrical shorts are always going to be better-- Not only because they could spend more on them, only having to make a few a year, they had more time. They also had to be more extensively animated to look good on a big screen. There's something to be said for Bakshi's sense of humor and style, but I've always felt he was a cheap and lazy animator, even in his theatrical films.

  • This is the Mighty Mouse I love. It always had some grooving tunes going on.

  • Actually, 'timothy', CBS bought Paul Terry's studio and his cartoon library in December 1955, at the time they initially scheduled "MIGHTY MOUSE PLAYHOUSE" on their Saturday morning schedule.

  • this was perhaps the first cartoon i've ever watched.  thanx.

  • mighty mouse is pumped with steroids form head to toe

  • CBs purchased the entire Pual Terry package of Cartoons in the1960's for use in their week-end kiddie audience it was called might Mouse Playhouse. Gandy Goose, the Terry Bears, Heckle and Jeckle & Farmer John also figured in the package. These were origianally produced by Paul Terry, released by

    20th Century -Fox. To keep costs down it was not uncommon to use the same audio effects in all of Terry's Work, called "TerryToons". CBS changed the opeing/closing tags to suit thier format.

  • I love Mighty Mouse! Why is the voice out of sinc?

  • For me, the best moments of animation are: the schtick when the wolf loses his hide, and then the wild-take when he realizes it and, a few moments later, when he then MM scramble right toward the "camera" -- incredible stuff.

  • The music at 3:53...WOW!

  • it' s called "Sunny Italy"...

  • do you have the episode from the pisa tower?

  • The Mighty Mouse "title pose" was used in this TV print to obscure the original end title {with the credit "Distributed by Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation"} as the music played itself out on the soundtrack, 'Home'. Most of the TV prints eliminated the last few bars of music on the soundtrack under the end title...

  • Loved this original Mighty Mouse when I was a kid in the 1960's. Cartoons were so much better then, everything was. I feel sorry for kids today, they don't know what they are missing. Too much technology nowadays...sad.

  • EVERYTHING was better? Live in the past much?

  • I totally agree.. I love the cartoons from back in the day.. It brings back soo many wonderful memories.:0)

  • Great cartoon to see but it is a shame that they have to cut these things. The Three Blind Mice are missing so are The Three Men In A Tub. I don't know why these scenes were considered objectionable.

    My copy of this cartoon has the original old style logos for Mighty Mouse.

    This is still very nice to see on You Tube. I would like to see Little Rouqefort and Percy the cat if anyone out there has these.

    Thank you again for a great toon.

  • go somewhere else with you porn ads, kids go on this sight you trash peddler.

  • This is a classic "Mighty Mouse"movie

    cartoon..although? I don't think that this was released in 1950?

  • It was, December 1950 to be exact.

  • You're right. Jim Tyer IS fun.

    Somehow I managed to be a 1980s kid without ever really running into Terrytoons at any length--though it was probably the last time they were ever widely seen. What little I have seen of them I find incredibly dull, but from an artistic point of view, nutjobs like Tyer are great to watch for.

  • cool jazzy in the begining

  • I remember this as a kid! Awesome, thanks for posting it, loved the original Mighty Mouse!

  • Great animation in this cartoon. Jim Tyer did some of the craziest, most energetic animation in the world along with Rod Scribner.

  • Story by Tom Morrison

    Directed by Connie Rasinski

    Music by Philip A. Scheib

  • By the way "Sidelines", why did they put an a Mighty Mouse pose in the end title from the TV print? That was a weird end title, but it doesn't say "The End", it has a Mighty Mouse pose in the TV version. That was a bit silly to end this cartoon.

  • There were two "origin" cartoons, 'brandon'- "The Mouse Of Tomorrow" (1942), when he was first introduced as 'Super Mouse'....and "The Cat's Tale" (1951), where he was adapted as a baby by a kindly couple, and grew up like "Super-You-Know-Who"!.

  • i wish i grew up with such a darm good cartoons :(

  • i wish the same thing. I MISSED all the good cartoons that they used to air

  • Does anyone out there have the Mighty Mouse cartoon called Krakatoa Katie? I've been looking for it for a long time. LOVE THE MOUSE!

  • Just how on earth did he get so mighty?!

  • I think I forgot his original name then it was changed to Mighty Mouse because there was another mouse cartoon character with the same name during the time.

  • Pretty good, but not as good as Ralph Bakshi's remake of the series.

  • this is a great cartoon. i wish Viacom makes a lot of box sets for Mighty Mouse. great upload. please, get more mighty mouse toons soon.

  • Setloose has a lot of Mighty Mouse cartoons out there.

  • Viacom sucks for didn't brought Mighty Mouse back. I hope 20th Century Fox can, man.

  • well, fear not Mighty Mouse Shall rise again, for 2010 in a new movie, tv series and comic

  • Meh, chances are they'll do it all wrong if they try.

  • Jim Tyer was lead animator on this one- I recognize his "rubbery" style of animation anywhere!

  • Mightymouse rocks! It proves that size does not matter.
