A Super Hero anthropomorphic mouse saves the day, the world and his girlfriend, Pearl Pureheart. Originally one of the Terrytoons (yes, from the same fine company as Heckle and Jeckle and "SOMEBODY TOUCHA MY SPAGHET!!!") from The Golden Age of Animation.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 by Ralph Bakshi under the title Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures. While the series is notable for pioneering the type of creator-driven cartoons that flourished in the 1990s, most casual viewers remember it for the controversy surrounding a scene in which Mighty Mouse sniffed some crushed flowers that looked like he was snorting cocaine (the creators claim that the resemblance to cocaine usage was completely unintentional).Mighty Mouse was also featured in the unsuccessful pilot Curbside, where his segment had him try to protect Tom Terrific from a thug called the Creeper.There have been various comic books from multiple publishers over the years. In 2017, Dynamite Comics published a five-issue miniseries where Mighty Mouse finds his way into the real world and befriends a bullied boy named Joey. | |

Strong as They Need to Be | |
| Mighty Mouse / int_1228314a | comment |
Strong as They Need to Be: Mighty Mouse was often presented as weaker and less invulnerable in the Oil Can Harry stories, in order to give the villain a sporting chance (or just for the sake of humor... or the short's run time). Sometimes his strength varied from scene to scene within a single cartoon or even within a single scene. For example, in "A Fight to the Finish", Mighty Mouse is tied to railroad tracks, and unable to break the perfectly-normal rope binding him; he can, however, stop the train from running over him with just his feet, and then the train breaks the ropes. | |

Captain Ersatz | |
| Mighty Mouse / int_25b5600 | comment |
Captain Ersatz: Mighty Mouse, especially in his Super Mouse years, is an obvious parody of Superman. Amusingly, the reason for his name chance was not because of legal threats from DC, but because one of Paul Terry's own employees left and made his own comic series named Super Mouse, and Terry wasn't interested in potential legal issues. The mouse donning the superhero suit in 1943's The Lion And The Mouse only bore the resemblance of Super Mouse of him in flight. Otherwise, this mouse had stubby legs, a paunch, and was pathetically inebriated. | |

Covered in Kisses: "Svengali's Cat" ends with Mighty Mouse getting kissed by the mouse girl in gratitude for saving her, resulting in the rodent hero having lipstick marks all over his face. Mighty Mouse again ends up with a face covered with lipstick marks when some mouse women catch up to him and kiss him at the end of "The Trojan Horse". | |

Power-Up Food: In Mighty Mouse's first appearance (when he was called Super Mouse) he gained his powers after going into a "Supermarket" and eating various Super-named foods. While he was shown eating super products to do this at least twice (in "The Mouse of Tomorrow" and "Frankenstein's Cat") it seemed to become permanent after that. | |

Humanoid Female Animal: The female mice were usually far more humanoid than the male, and usually wore more clothes. There were exceptions (Pandora of "Pandora's Box", the unnamed female mouse of "Svengali's Cat" before her makeover, and all the female mice in early cartoon "He Dood It Again" only had Tertiary Sexual Characteristics to distinguish them), but they were relatively rare. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Mighty Mouse / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Mighty Mouse was originally called Super Mouse. He also had a fairly different appearance, with a different blue-and-red costume and noodle-like limbs. In "Frankenstein's Cat", he also had a brief speaking line with a different voice which paints him as uncharacteristically aggressive, whereas in his other cartoons, he only spoke when he was singing! Many of those early cartoons were clumsily redubbed to replace every mention of Super Mouse with Mighty Mouse, and given newer title sequences, so they're hard to find in their original "Super Mouse" form. | |

From Beyond the Fourth Wall | |
| Mighty Mouse / int_62453cf7 | comment |
From Beyond the Fourth Wall: A common joke The cartoon "Goons From The Moon" has alien cats abducting all the mice in Terrytown. The radio reporter (a mouse caricature of Walter Winchell) comments "there's only one mouse who can save this situation!" Cut to an animator's table where the animator's hand draws Mighty Mouse in flight atop a missile. (The artist stops drawing briefly, causing Mighty Mouse to chime in "Hurry up! I've got a job to do!") The cartoon "The Cat's Tale" has a mouse-traumatized cat telling the hero's origin and his subsequent battle against a giant cat. The cowardly cat then tells us how he'd show Mighty Mouse a thing or two, only for the animator to draw Mighty Mouse floating right behind him. The cat runs off in fright. | |

Fur Is Clothing: The short "Mighty Mouse and the Wolf" at one point has the titular wolf force some sheep to remove their wool at gunpoint. The sheep strip out of their wool as if they were taking off jumpsuits, and one blushes before turning around after noticing that the audience is watching them disrobe. The cat in "A Date for Dinner" is shown to wear a union suit underneath his fur. In "Lazy Little Beaver", the wolf ends up knocked out his overalls as well as his fur and is left in a union suit. | |

Your Size May Vary: A non-giant variation: In "The Magic Slipper", Cinderella (a female mouse) and the prince (a male mouse who resembles Harpo Marx) are about the same size as the humans at the ball, and both are shoulder-high to the wolf who serves as the villain. But Mighty Mouse is both almost the same height as Cinderella and is only as tall as the wolf's knee. | |

The Voiceless | |
| Mighty Mouse / int_8ec0abf | comment |
The Voiceless: Prior to Mighty Mouse Playhouse and everything else after, he was this—that is, unless he was singing. He did talk after Playhouse. In the three TV-budget shorts from 1959 and 1961, he was voiced by Tom Morrison, who also voiced him in the titles and bumpers for the TV show. The only other time he talked as opposed to sing was in 1942's ''Frankenstein's Cat,' where he interrogates the title monster who has swallowed a helpless bird: He spoke normally in the 1970's Filmation series, and (albeit very resonantly) in the 1980's Bakshi series. | |

Made of Iron | |
| Mighty Mouse / int_9d17b859 | comment |
Made of Iron: Mighty Mouse, sure, but also Oil Can Harry. Harry just shrugs off all of the injuries that Pearl inflicts on him and even most of what Mighty Mouse inflicts. For example, in "Triple Trouble", she punches Harry into a wall, hits him with every piece of pottery in her apartment, drops a cast-iron stove on his head, and then throws an anchor at him to knock him off the edge of the building. Then a passing policeman shoots him in the butt with a machine-gun spray of bullets. All it does is annoy him (and the shooting merely propelled him into Pearl's window, which let him actually capture her after she'd been holding her own to that point). | |

Multiple-Choice Past | |
| Mighty Mouse / int_a426ae28 | comment |
Multiple-Choice Past: Many shorts involved some sort of origin story, which varied widely. There was never any perceived need for a single established one until the 1980's TV series, where he was given a derivative version of Superman's origin. | |

| Mighty Mouse / int_a51b63ed | comment |
Flying Brick: Though how invulnerable Mighty Mouse is varies by episode. Machine-gun bullets are shown bouncing off his chest in many shorts, but in "The Swiss Miss" the Death Trap is that he's on a conveyer belt about to be shot. | |

Hypocritical Humor: In "Goons from the Moon", the radio announcer at one point repeatedly stress that his audience shouldn't panic about the alien cats invading. While he says this, he's obviously frantic and is smoking multiple cigarettes at once. | |

I Just Want to Be Special: The cartoon "Hero For A Day" has a doofus mouse trying to impress his girlfriend, who swoons over Mighty Mouse, by donning a costume suit of the hero. Some cats bully him and the mouse is knocked out cold. Just before the cats can pounce, Mighty Mouse himself shows up, beats the cats up and lets the little wannabe take credit for it. | |

Snap Back: There was a complete lack of continuity between shorts. Most notably in the Oil Can Harry shorts, since each one was presented as a different final chapter of a long-running serial, starting with resolving a cliffhanger (that was never set up) and ending with Mighty Mouse saving the day. | |
