12 oz. Mouse (sometimes abbreviated as ozmo) is an animated series that originally ran for two seasons on [adult swim] from 2005-2007, with a third season premiering thirteen years later in 2020. It is the brainchild and pet project of Aqua Teen Hunger Force co-creator Matt Maiellaro.The show's narrative centers around Mouse Fitzgerald ("Fitz"), a green, beer-swilling, chaotic neutral mouse who lives in a violent, nihilistic town apparently made out of cardboard. Fitz takes on a series of oddjobs for Shark, a non-anthropomorphic blue shark, and botches each one spectacularly through his propensity for drinking and his inability to focus on the simplest of tasks. As the series progresses, Fitz has flashbacks of a lost previous life, including a wife and daughter he didn't know he had. As he attempts to put together his forgotten past, he runs afoul of several of the town's more bizarre citizens, including a giant eyeball, a one-handed corndog farmer, and a wealthy square. Everyone knows something, but they're not telling, and most of them have their own problems.Though ozmo is remarkable for its moody story, its brilliant soundtrack, and its breathy, melodramatic voice acting, the series is mostly remembered for its abject visual austerity. Most of the characters are rendered in simple line drawings (hand-drawn by Maiellaro) and the backgrounds are rarely more detailed than that; Maiellaro joked that he pitched the series by telling the network, "This will cost about five dollars and will take some of the paper sitting in the copier." If you've ever seen the show, it's not too hard to believe him.A half-hour special aired in October 2018, followed by the announcement of the aforementioned third season in 2019. The third season began airing on July 20, 2020, and ended at the end of the same month on July 31. Sadly, in February 2021 creator Matt Maiellaro confirmed that the show was canceled once again, citing "a new agenda from [as] that the show didn't fall under". | |

Does This Remind You of Anything?: In "Bowtime", Fitz's wife says that: "We had a baby. When we had her, the time is coming that..... To her.... us.". It is possible that Fitz's daughter had died. In "Prolegomenon", Fitz is seen unconcious, with his head attached to a machine. This scene has the same implications to Animal Testing. | |

Trailers Always Lie The episode summaries given to cable providers were completely unrelated to the episodes. In fact, they were the summaries from episodes of Good Times, with the characters' names changed. The "Invictus" special on the [adult swim] website, cable providers and some streaming listings provide a summary clearly referencing The Empire Strikes Back. | |

Animation Bump: In the 23-minute 12 Oz. Mouse special "INVICTUS", where most of the animation style changes is sleeker and overall, it looks better than before such as the real-world being very colorful such as the background & design, resembling something like a kid's drawing & the cardboard city is used again but is taken from the show's intro, where the animation in those scenes are animated in Live-Action but the characters are still in their animated forms during these scenes. | |

The Alcoholic: Fitz's defining trait. In fact, one of the few pieces of merchandise produced for the show aside from the DVD was a drinking flask engraved with his image. The other characters get in their share of boozing, too. Peanut implies that drinking confers some kind of protection from the powers that be. | |

Shout-Out | |
12 oz. Mouse / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In "Signals", Fitz mentions "Barney Rubles" to Shark, a reference to the character Barney Rubble from The Flintstones. In "Surgery Circus", Golden Joe mentions Fred Sanford. In "Enjoy the Arm", Fitz mentions the Terminator while talking to Skillet. In "Meat Warrior", Peanut Cop and Liquor accidentally run over a baby carriage that had harmless wine bottles in it. Sound familiar? In the same episode, a few doves are seen flying during an action scene, referencing the films of John Woo. At the end of "Eighteen", Shark has a Villainous Breakdown and demands that Rectangular Businessman activate all the tie-bots and hovervacs to assist him in taking down Fitz, his friends, and Amalockh. The way he shouts out "EVERYONE!!!" is very similar to how Stansfield said it in The Professional. Uncle Grandfather's Temple from Perfect Hair Forever appears on one of Shark's monitors in "Invictus". Industry Man's design resembles that of Phoenix Wright from the Ace Attorney series. The title of the episode "Francis, Cheap & Out of Control" is a reference to the film Fast, Cheap & Out of Control. | |

Ontological Mystery | |
12 oz. Mouse / int_c8f98eb5 | comment |
Ontological Mystery: The show's main story is Fitz realizing that he's in one. He starts having flashbacks to an earlier life, starts noticing that people are hiding things, and realizes that he doesn't even remember ever moving to the town. The story develops into his quest to find the answers to his past. | |

No Name Given: Some characters are never really given names. The cop is finally called "Peanut" (one of the most common fan nicknames) in "Enter the Sandmouse". The annoying woman in the green sweater is never named until her transformation; Word of God refers to her as "Robogirl". The Producer Man's name has been revealed only in a few official episode summaries from Adult Swim and is also referred to "Talent Scout" on other sources. | |

Alternate Reality Game: Sort of, in a very limited way. One episode ended with a numeric code, and a hint to its decoding was provided on the [adult swim] forums. The fan who decoded it won $5 in loose change, some swag, and a note from RBM. Maiellaro also posted a riddle note Forever has 7. Mouse has 3. There's a man coming home to a man with a mask. His ears are all covered up with noise. to the forums in 2007, which was never officially solved. | |

Non-Indicative First Episode: The first two episodes present the show as a pretty standard Animated Shock Comedy, with an Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist taking on various odd jobs and then flaking on them partway through. Afterward, the odd jobs stop coming as the protagonist is revealed to be an Amnesiac Hero, with a tenuous grip on reality, his put-upon boss reveals that he's more in control than he lets on, and the weirdness of the setting turns from Surreal Humor to Surreal Horror. | |
