Description: Mighty Mouse is an American animated anthropomorphic superhero mouse character created by the Terrytoons studio for 20th Century Fox. The character was originally called Super Mouse, and made his debut in the 1942 short The Mouse of Tomorrow. The name was changed to Mighty Mouse in his eighth film, 1944’s The Wreck of the Hesperus, and the character went on to star in 80 theatrical shorts, concluding in 1961 with Cat Alarm. In 1955, Mighty Mouse Playhouse debuted as a Saturday morning cartoon show on the CBS television network, which popularized the character far more than the original theatrical run. The show lasted until 1967. Filmation revived the character in The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse and Heckle & Jeckle, which ran from 1979 to 1980, and animation director Ralph Bakshi revived the concept again in Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures, from 1987 to 1988.

Movie:
When Mousehood Was in Flower
( 1953 )
A nobleman and his beautiful daughter are so poor that they're down to their last tea bag. When it rains it pours: bursting into their castle is the tax man, singing operetta. Their taxes are long past due, he intones. And if they don't pay, out they go. The nobleman protests, via song, that he hasn't got a cent, and his knights, acting as a chorus, back him up by repeating "He hasn't got a single cent" over and over. Twirling his mustache, the tax man tells them he'll pay their bill if the daughter consents to marry him. Never, she repeats ad nauseam. Besides, their knights will win them a lot of money in the next day's jousting tournament. The tax man laughs uproariously. He is competing as well, and he intends to win. True to his chortle, the tax man, now dubbed the Black Knight, proves to be an overwhelming competitor. But there's still one knight who can save the day, and he doesn't even need armor. It's Mighty Mouse to the rescue.

TV Show:
Mighty Mouse Playhouse
Mighty Mouse Playhouse is an American television anthology series featuring animated short films starring Mighty Mouse. The series aired on CBS from 1955 to 1966. The series was credited with popularizing the Mighty Mouse character in popular culture far beyond what the original film shorts had done. Mighty Mouse was not extraordinarily popular in theatrical cartoons, but was still Terrytoons' most popular character. What made him a cultural icon was television. Most of the short film studios, both live-action and animated, were in decline by the 1950s, pressured both by the loss of film audiences to television as well as the increased popularity (and financial benefits) of low-budget, stylized, limited animation. Most of the studios cashed out of the short-film production business and began licensing or selling their back catalogs to television. Paul Terry went as far as to sell the entire Terrytoon company to CBS in 1955. The network began running Mighty Mouse Playhouse in December 1955. It remained on the air for nearly twelve years (and featured The Mighty Heroes during the final season). Mighty Mouse cartoons became a staple of children's television programming for a period of over thirty years, from the 1950s through the 1980s.
