...to Mighty Mouse!

The Terrytoons superhero, a blatant mix of Superman and Mickey Mouse, made his cartoon debut in the theatrical short The Mouse Of Tomorrow under the original name Super Mouse. But Coo Coo Comics already had an established character named Super Mouse, so two years later, the Terrytoons character was renamed the alliterative Mighty Mouse.

As bad a rap as Terrytoons--and Mighty Mouse--have had with critics and cartoon aficianados as well, Mighty Mouse did in fact receive an Academy Award nomination, for the 1945 cartoon Gypsy Life.

Well we certainly cannot have a Mighty Mouse thread without this....

Mr. Trouble never hangs around
When he hears this mighty sound...
"Here I come to save the day!"
That means that Mighty Mouse is on the way.
Yessir when there is a wrong to right
Mighty Mouse will join the fight
On the sea or on the land
He gets the situation well in hand
So though we are in danger
We never despair
Cause we know that where there's danger
He is there!
He is there!
On the land!
On the sea!
In the air!
We're not worryin' at all
We're just listenin' for his call
"Here I come to save the day!"
That means that Mighty Mouse is on the way!

And of course we also cannot have a Mighty Mouse with out this semi related bit of tomfoolery from The 1970's :p
