At last, a rare gem. This is a Castle Films version of the first Mighty Mouse cartoon. This cartoon would later appeared on TV as part of "Mighty Mouse Playhouse" back in 1950's. Castle Films did put out all of the Terrytoons for home movie use in The 40's and 50's before CBS acquired the TV rights to the Terrytoons library.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH! (As a 1968 born army brat Mighty Mouse DID save many of my childhood days!....The fact that someone kept it /preserved ...I bow in respect. Today we lose so much information ....preserve and protect the Arts!
Smooth as silk, and the design is so attractive too. Modern animators (ever since John K and his "Ren & Stimpy") seem determined to make their cartoons as ass-ugly as humanly possible.
Castle's home movie versions date from the mid-late 1940's, several years before Paul Terry sold his company to CBS-TV. The Mighty Mouse cartoons came on the market around the time Universal Pictures bought Castle Films and shifted their emphasis to Walter Lantz's cartoons (Woody Woodpecker and Andy Panda) which they represented.
Originally released in October 1942; directed by Eddie Donnelly, story by John Foster [ and actually concieved by Isadore Klein as a FLY before Paul Terry insisted, "Make him a MOUSE!!"]; music by Philip A. Scheib. The first "Super Mouse" cartoon, who became "Mighty Mouse" in "The Wreck of the Hesperus" (1944).
The narration voice sounds like Ken Roberts, an announcer on many New York radio programs of the 40's and 50's. (Terrytoons was located in the NYC suburb of New Rochelle.) By the way, IMHO, I think Phil Scheib's musical score for this cartoon is wonderful.
Mighty Mouse, enemy of mankind, has reduced another once-thriving town to a plague ridden ghost town where the walls are at least 30% mousehole and you can't eat a bowl of cereal where the raisins haven't been replaced by mouse turds. Why are we supposed to be rooting for the savior of *vermin,* again? (That said, this is still an absolute cartoon classic, and the uploader a paragon for making it available.)
"Spare The Rod" from 1953 is the best one, ruclips.net/video/wa9aI2wvofg/видео.html . This one is interesting because it shows you the genesis of Mighty Mouse.
slash the origin of MM the super. mouse. who was speedy gunalas was he a mouse. or a Spanish mouse. the fastest of them. or fastest south of the broader. undelay. aureba ahha.yeeha.
I think he ate.all that super food just to get kids.to eat their food at meal time. so.they could be strong like mighty Mouse. The same reason Popeye ate Spinach. To be strong.
@@johnbockelie3899 Mighty Mouse may have designed by Charles Thorson because his early posters may have been done by him and he may have designed his first cartoon called The Mouse of Tomorrow.
He was originally called Super Mouse for the first seven films since he was an obvious parody of Superman. However, when TerryToon learned Marvel Comics was going to publish a character of the same name, that was when he was renamed Mighty Mouse.
Standard Comics introduced their Supermouse in 1942, about the same time as Terry did this cartoon. Two years later, when Terry found out about the Comic Book version, it made more sense to just change his character's name than to try fight for trademark in a close race with Standard over a name/character that was already dangerously close to infringing on National Periodical's Superman properties anyway.
fantastic! thank you so much. my favorite hero!

This was incredible animation from the 40s. I don't know if modern anime uses that many drawn fps.

About 30 years later, they would come up with "Fearless Fly," a mild mannered fly who would put on "super glasses" and become a hero!

It's not Ken- he never worked at the Terry studio.
So that was the orgin of Mighty Mouse
Mighty Mouse, enemy of mankind, has reduced another once-thriving town to a plague ridden ghost town where the walls are at least 30% mousehole and you can't eat a bowl of cereal where the raisins haven't been replaced by mouse turds.

Don't laugh. This happened in my country. It is not funny
why couldn't Supermouse have been a girl mouse?
Because he wasn't? Besides he is kinda meant to be a parody of Super-Man. And its not Supermouse, its Mighty Mouse
