"Here I Come To Save The Day !" Do You Remember That Famous Line ? ....Of Course, It's "Mighty Mouse" 1942

"Mighty Mouse" is an American animated superhero mouse character created by the Terrytoons studio for 20th Century Fox. The original Mighty Mouse character first appeared in 1942, but I bet you didn't know his first name was Super Mouse until 1944. The first short film was "The Mouse of Tomorrow". He subsequently starred in 130 theatrical cartoons from 1942 to 1961. The character was originally developed as a parody of Superman and other contemporary superheroes.

The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse 1979-1980, the character shifted to become an all-ages hero similar to Superman. The cartoons typically featured Mighty Mouse battling various villains in and around the city of Mouseville. Most of the antagonists were original creations, such as the Catfish, a giant cat-octopus hybrid. Other villains included a fox, goose, or wolf that was trying to capture or harm the citizens of Mouseville. On occasion, Mighty Mouse would also battle supernatural characters, such as the ghostly Captain Kid. The cartoons also featured recurring characters, such as Pearl Pureheart, Mighty Mouse's love interest,

and Oil Can Harry, a recurring archrival. The voice for Mighty Mouse was provided by Roy Halee and Jackson Beck. The animation for the cartoons was produced by Paul Terry....Terrytoons Productions.

The Popularity Of GI Joe Animated Cartoons In The 80's Can't Be Forgotten !!

In the early 1980s, Hasbro released a line of action figures called GI Joe. The line was a huge success, and in 1983, the first GI Joe cartoon was released. The cartoon was an instant hit, and GI Joe became one of the most popular cartoons of the 1980s.

The GI Joe franchise has had a long and storied history, and it continues to be popular to this day. In this short blog article, I will take a look at the history of GI Joe animated cartoons, from the '80's to today.

The beginnings of GI Joe

GI Joe was created by Hasbro in 1963 as a line of action figures. The figures were based on the popular 12-inch dolls of the time, and they were initially marketed to boys. The line proved to be a huge success.

The birth of the cartoon

The cartoon was filled with action and adventure, and it quickly became a Saturday morning staple. The cartoon also spawned a new popular toy line, which became one of the best-selling lines of the 1980s.

The reign of GI Joe

In the late 1980s, the popularity of GI Joe began to decline. The cartoon was canceled in 1994, but the toy line continued to be popular.

The fall of GI Joe

In the early 2000's, a new GI Joe cartoon was released, but it failed to capture the magic of the original.

We All Know Someone That Brags...But Not Like "Commander Mc Bragg" !!!! 1963

Commander McBragg is an animated cartoon series that aired in the 1960s. It features an old timer like character, Commander McBragg, a military officer who tells tall tales of his adventures and exploits. The show was produced by Total Television Productions and was shown in syndication. Each episode consisted of Commander McBragg telling a story, usually involving some sort of adventure or battle, with a moral lesson at the end. The show was aimed at a younger audience and was known for its humorous and educational content.

Commander McBragg was based after Sir C. Aubrey Smith, older English actor from the 1930s and 1940s, always to be seen in pubs and social gatherings

sipping on brandy by the fire and telling tales about himself in battle.

You know I really did like these short segment cartoons; they only use to last about 2 minutes but were great! He had colleagues, but I never heard him call them by name ("to stuck on himself") I guess. (LoL)
