Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures | comment |
Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures is a Denser and Wackier take on the Mighty Mouse series created in the late 1980's for CBS' Saturday morning cartoon block, and helmed by famed animator Ralph Bakshi.The show follows the same basic premise as the original show - Mighty Mouse saves the day, the world, and/or his girlfriend - but is notable for a pioneering the insane pop-culture-obsessed young adult-attracting style of television cartoons that flourished in the 1990s. Many of those who worked, created, or had a 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 protegé John Kricfalusi, Bruce Timm, Jim Reardon, and Tom Minton.Sadly, if remembered at all by casual viewers, 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; even John Kricfalusi found that the outrage over the flower-sniffing scene was blown out of proportion — especially since that episode also had the Kirk Douglas-looking man deep kissing Polly Pineblossom and the two driving off into the sunset, only for their car to explode into a mushroom cloud, which, to John, felt more like scenes that would get them in trouble with the censors.The series aired from 1987 to 1988 for a total of 19 episodes. | |

Mythology Gag: In Mighty's Wedlock Whimsy, Mighty Mouse is being goaded into proposing marriage to Pearl, when James Hound (an obscure Terrytoons character from the mid 60s) appears as his conscience: In the episode "Witch Tricks," Scrappy sings the Mighty Mouse Playhouse theme. In the Marvel comic's Crisis on Infinite Earths parody "Mices on Infinite Earths," Mighty himself is saved by Supermouse, the Silent Protagonist proto-version of him from the original "The Mouse of Tomorrow" Terrytoon! | |

Not-So-Forgotten Birthday: The premise of a character's friends pretending to forget their birthday for the sake of surprising them later is used in the episode "It's Scrappy's Birthday", where Scrappy is so incensed by the people of Mouseville forgetting about his birthday that he runs away. In the end, he returns home and discovers everyone greeting him with open arms and presenting a big cake. | |

Death Is Cheap: Lampshaded and defied in the fourth issue of the Marvel comic. After Mighty Mousette gets killed, Mighty Mouse begs the Minotaur to bring her back to life, bringing up that dead characters always come back in comics. The Minotaur denies Mighty Mouse's request and tells him that he must accept that Mighty Mousette is gone for good. | |

Stock Footage | |
Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures / int_4856ac40 | comment |
Stock Footage: The high-quality animation came at a cost. To keep down costs, some episodes are comprised entirely of old footage of Mighty Mouse cartoons (along with other misc. Terrytoons shorts) with a new soundtrack. "Mighty's Musical Classics" is a long music video made entirely of old TerryToons clips. Same goes with "Animation Concerto". The bulk of "Scrappy's Playhouse" has Scrappy watching several old Mighty Mouse cartoons (such as "Krakatoa", "Goons from the Moon", "The First Snow") with some footage from other Terrytoons, such as "Farmer Al Falfa's 20th Anniversary" and "Flebus". "The Ice Goose Cometh" uses this when Gandy Goose is undergoing separation anxiety, flashing back to footage of the old Terrytoons cartoons starring him and Sourpuss. "Stress for Success" uses footage from four TerryToons for Mighty's dreams, including "The Owl and the Pussycat" (the first Sourpuss cartoon), "Prehistoric Perils" and "Beauty on the Beach". | |

From Beyond the Fourth Wall: The Bakshi episode "Mighty's Wedlock Whimsy" (billed as a cautionary tale), Mighty Mouse is getting married to Pearl Pureheart. But he's getting cold feet just as he's about to take his vow, just stammering "I...I...I...", then it cuts to a pencil drawing of him on an animator's table. The animator cops out and can't go through with it. It ends with the cartoon characters at the wedding all laughing as everything is up in flames. | |

Wedding Episode: The episode "Mighty's Wedlock Whimsy" is billed as a cautionary tale of Mighty Mouse marrying Pearl Pureheart. After a dream sequence he'd like to forget, Mighty Mouse is about to make his vows when he gets cold feet. The wedding is averted as the animator himself is unable to go through with it. | |

Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures / int_af7d483f | comment |
Dreaming of Things to Come: "Mighty's Wedlock Whimsy" has Mighty Mouse dream of being married to Pearl Pureheart, with the Cow being reformed and his best friend. While it seems out of whack because of the same dream having Pearl become obese and unpleasant, the Cow is also depicted as reformed in the later episode "The Bride of Mighty Mouse", which shows Pearl as still being attractive and amiable. | |

Take That! | |
Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: "Don't Touch That Dial" is a particularly biting satire of Hanna-Barbera, Anime (with a hint of The Real Ghostbusters), the The Dark Age of Animation and television of the 1980's in general. Season 2 episode "Day of The Mice" has Mighty Mouse knocking a ginormous Pee-wee Herman on his back. "Anatomy of a Milquetoast" bites the hand that feeds it: using footage from season 1 with the dialogue altered, most notably from "It's Scrappy's Birthday," the hobo chums of Scrappy's hobo companion appear in their train boxcar. The hobo's new line is "Hey, look...the network boards are here!" "The Bride of Mighty Mouse" features a villainous parody of Howard Roark. The third issue of the Marvel comic has the Bug Wonder state that they need to stop the Emperor Penguin before the government is run by a power-crazed looney tune. Bat-Bat's butler Belfry remarks "So what else is new?" The tenth and final issue of the Marvel Comic has the cover depict Mighty Mouse giving ten reasons why it is imperative the reader buy this issue. Reason number one is "No teenagers, no mutants, no ninjas, no turtles". Within the issue is a dig at Andrew "Dice" Clay, who appears as a caricature named Andrew "Mice" Clay and is depicted as not very well-received. Pearl Pureheart even boycotts the rest of the issue due to not liking his sense of humor. The entire episode "Mighty's Benefit Plan" is this to Alvin and the Chipmunks and Ross Bagdasarian Jr., due to animator Bob Jaques being denied screen credit for his work on The Chipmunk Adventure. Jaques came up with the idea for this episode in retaliation, which takes many vicious swipes at the Chipmunks and Bagdasarian, lampooning the movie's Product Placement for Honey Nut Cheerios (the Dave Seville expy constantly has a mouth full of cereal, and a box of "Ohoorids" is prominently featured in the background of one scene) as well as Bagdasarian's dead dog Tiger Lilly (the cartoon is narrated by a piece of roadkill named "Mashy The Pup"). | |

Demoted to Extra: Scrappy appears less frequently in the second season. In fact, "Anatomy of a Milquetoast" (his only season 2 appearance other than a cameo in "Mighty's Tone Poem") is one giant lampshade of this, with Mighty Mouse being put on trial because he's blamed for being responsible for Scrappy's disappearance. | |

Dream Within a Dream | |
Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures / int_d54f84cb | comment |
Dream Within a Dream: The ending of "Anatomy of a Milquetoast" became one due to executive meddling. Originally the episode was going to end on Scrappy turning into a crab, but CBS didn't like the idea of such ending. So they made that part of a dream, recycling the same animation of him waking up from just few seconds before (note that the episode fades out just before he removes the bed cover, revealing his changed body). | |

The series features recurring antagonists in the form of three mice in a street gang: Bub, Moe, and Frawley. Bub has Dreary Half-Lidded Eyes and speaks with a Peter Lorre impression. | |

Crossover: With The Mighty Heroes in "Heroes and Zeroes". The Heroes are older now, and have given up superheroing to become accountants, but Mighty Mouse calls them back into action one more time. | |

Glad I Thought of It: Used in "Pirates with Dirty Faces" when the three young mice give the suggestion that they can get the pirate captain to sleep and thereby start a mutiny by holding a slumber party. The first mate finds it a good idea and says "Glad I thought of it". | |
