This is a classic "Mighty Mouse"movie

cartoon..although?

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

[zootsmcgurn]

It was, December 1950 to be exact.

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.

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

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

@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.

@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 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.

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

[TheGent2]

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.

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.
