Dude, I just found this out, when watching your ralph bakshi video, my grandpa told me about my great great uncle virgil Ross. Turns out my great great uncle was an animator for bakshi and Chuck Jones.
From Fritz to hey good looken my great great uncle work of bakshi
Thanx for helping me learn about my family.
Alex! I knew your great uncle, Virgil Ross! I would go visit him on Saturdays. I was an animator at Disney and we'd talk animation for HOURS!! He was a wonderful man and SUPER talented!!! I sure miss him!!!
It’s nice that you two know Virgil Ross
How Virgil was crazy, look up his pencil tests because your related to someone who help shape modern animation and history
Animation Lookback 2019: Richard Williams.
YES.
What a coincidence. Yesterday I was watching The thief and the cobbler ; the recobbled cut. It has some of the most beautiful animation I'd ever seen .
It even shows it in the end of this video.
Grant Awa I was hoping for Animation Lookback: Nickelodeon/Nicktoons. :(
YOU GOT IT RIGHT
The post credit was really funny when he said "Business" it leads to an actual commercial.
The next Animation Lookback is going to be on Richard Williams. Specifically, his 31 year journey making The Thief and the Cobbler - and its failure.
I think it will be interesting but I'm disappointed that it's not Nickelodeon
The man was an Inspiration to us all I watch the Miramax cut of the Film on VHS when I was like a baby or something. I did not that his original vision was scrapped completely due to the company firing him and loses his dream movie in over 31 years in making this masterpiece of a movie which never happened. I am so excited about it.
@@samfeldstein4498 He may still do Nicktoons in the future. He's just decided to do something a little different for now.
Oh boy. if you thought Ralph had it rough with Cool World, wait till you hear about one of the longest productions of an animated feature.
Spoiler alert: if you hate Harvey Weinstein already, keep an axe on hand. You may need it.
I'm surprised that not many people talk about this Series (Ralph Bakshi's Mighty Mouse). Because this would be John K's first show that he would ever work on before going onto making Ren and Stimpy, which is one of the most influential Cartoons of all time. and John K even went to work on Two Stupid Dogs, which launched many animators into stardom
I've never even heard of it until recently and I watch a lot of cartoons from many different eras. Maybe because it didn't last that long.
@kristian rikardsen He's a hebephile, not a bigot. Different kind of fuckery.
Sorta. It was a Mighty Mouse series but it was the Filmation series, plus Fat Albert was actually the debut for John K.
Did you know that in the mid 1980's John K. worked on the Heathcliffe cartoon series with the legendary Mel Blanc as the voice of the troublemaking feline? Before that he also worked on Filmation's the NEW ADVENTURE'S OF MIGHTY MOUSE. I betcha didn't know that.
He also worked on the Jetsons revival
Wait, so it was John K who fought to keep the flower sniffing scene in? You mean he’s indirectly responsible for the cancellation of the Mighty Mouse show? Great, as if we needed more reason to hate him.
Also, can’t wait for the Richard Williams lookback!
It wasn't a cocaine reference, mind you. It was a crushed flower.
Back in the "good old days" when raving religious zealot nut bags could push executives into canceling a show.
I do miss the good old days before every show had a rating and cartoons weren't mostly predictable drek.
@@JohnDoe-wq5eu The PTC.
@Lil Pen C3E I wouldn't agree with that.
@@JohnDoe-wq5eu I agree.
5/5 of Bakshi.. :( I wanted more.
He did briefly last time.
@ryan jones I don’t think there’s much to say about the Butter Battle Book animated cartoon.
Although it was the final animated cartoon based on Dr Seuss’ work that would be made before he died.
Mighty Mouse is still in CBS's vault just rotting away because of that animation series, and CBS not releasing the cartoons on DVD or Blu-Ray.
Nicholas M Daskievige It makes you want to “Toucha My Spaget!”
@@Musicradio77Network Yeah, who wants spaget?!
There it is! I've been interested in this series and the controversy surrounding the show for almost a decade. Great job Matt!
I absolutely love this series you did. Soon after 2/5 came out, I went and watched about half the films Bakshi produced by myself or with friends. We all became quick fans. Friend of mine even went to buy me an original pre-production cel piece of "Hey, Good Lookin'". I have to thank you for introducing me to my favorite producer
Thank you for this "look back" Bakshi is my favorite animator from the past and I got to learn about a few pieces of never heard of! So thank you again!
Pearl Pureheart had more personality in this 80's adaptation than she did in the theatrical cartoons of the 1940's and 50's. She not only was the damsel in distress, but also an owner of a cat food factory which she also ran and very well I might add. The funny line on the sign of her Mouseville Factory Works was: "A Hungry Cat Eats no Mice."
When people told me that anime is for kids, I just show them the Nina and Alexander scene from Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. After that they were silence and scared for life.
I am gonna say, this was propably my favourite animation lookback from you uptill now! just gave me so much info that I didn`t know about previously about an animator that has always had me fascinated. Even though the style for most of Ralph Bakshis production is a bit too risque for my tastes, the works that I have watched, like wizards have always caught my eye as nothing less but incredible. And now, this series really encouraged me to try out all the other movies in his catalogue!
Thanks Animat for yet another job well done!
...and the character, Mighty Mouse deserve more than 5 stars to go up like yeast
Yes, Ralph Bakshi's version of Mighty Mouse, it was so good, hopefully it gets revived from cancellation!🙏🙏 Thank you for all your amazing movies, shorts, and Mighty Mouse cartoon, Ralph Bakshi, you are so amazing!🎩🎩
I watched Filmation’s The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse, And I still love it, They even got Alan Oppenheimer to voice all the male characters including Mighty Mouse and Oil Can Harry, And that’s the voice of Skeletor mind you, And I should also note that the late Sam Simon ‘The Simpsons’ was the storyboard artist and sometime writer of that show.
JamesTheBrony/JTB I remember the Filmation one, but it didn’t last long until it ended by 1980. It was a really bad idea to revived an underrated character to the series. I remember WPIX-TV (channel 11) in NYC at the time ran the original Mighty Mouse cartoons on TV when it was on weekday mornings, along with a short segment called “The Most Important Person” which was shown during Mighty Mouse, and it was an educational short, and it was on between fillers.
MTN Productions I first watched it on VHS.
Sorry, Alan Oppenheimer did not supply the voice of Mighty Mouse in the NAOMM. Someone told me it was Filmation producer Lou Scheimer.
@@Musicradio77Network THE NEW ADVENTURES OF MIGHTY MOUSE was not a bad series. At least MM was reunited with girlfriend Pearl Pureheart and archenemy Oil Can Harry both of whom appeared in every episode. Pearl it must be said made several career changes in each MM episode. But in the end she was still basically the damsel in distress who needed Mighty to rescue her. Plus I had a crush on Pearl. I would watch TNAOMM over THE SIMPSONS anyday.
Larry Silverman And Ruben Timmins. Two Terrytoons animators from Back In the day. Worked for the Filmation Mighty Mouse Show
Merry Christmas AniMat!
You forgot how Ralph Bakshi did voice acting for Ren & Stimpy’s Adult Party Cartoon’s “Fire Dogs 2”. The firefighter character from the original Ren & Stimpy Show was based entirely on Bakshi, so John K got him to actually play the character for Adult Party Cartoon. The episode was mostly very gross, but it did give us a glorious scene where Ren dances to Stimpy’s panpipe playing.
Well, Fritz the Cat _was_ an outright pornographic cartoon. No air quotes.
I think it's downright disgusting.
That's such a coincidence that you're doing Richard Williams, since I actually got the The Animator's Survival Kit for Christmas!
and UA-camrs STILL take the crushed flower scene out of context. Im beginning to think people who make lists of the "Top Ten inappropriate moments in kids cartons" are so obsessed with click bait, they don't research cartoons by actually watching them and just google some thing and slip in clips from some thing they don't see them selves.
This is the only Ralph Bakshi video I will leave a like for. Because despite my hatred of Ralph Bakshi, not only do I actually like his Mighty Mouse show, I outright LOVE Mighty Mouse the New Adventures! This is the only Ralph Bakshi animation project I actually enjoy, and while I was watching his terrible movies, I would always have to watch four episodes of this show to make myself feel better. Now, the main reason why I love Mighty Mouse is because where Wizards and the Lord of the Rings tried to be children's movies, Mighty Mouse succeeded! I think the biggest help for that was Scrappy. Scrappy is my favorite character in this entire show, because he is clearly made for children to identify with him. I may be troubled by Scrappy having an adult female's voice (especially knowing that adult female's terrible fate), that does not stop me from enjoying his childlike innocence and wanting to see him with a happy ending. But while my favorite part of this show is that it was clearly made for kids, that happens to be what gives me an appreciation for how the show jump-started the careers of such famous animators as John Krickfalusi, Bruce Timm, Andrew Stanton, Tom Minton, Mitch Schauer and Vicky Jenson. I guess that makes this show Dexter's Laboratory before Dexter's Laboratory, if you know what I mean. So needless to say, after watching five of Ralph Bakshi's adult monstrosities, it was Mighty Mouse that got me back to a happy mood, and even made me find some actual appreciation for Ralph Bakshi. He may have created too many adult movies for me to like him, but with Mighty Mouse, he makes me proud.
That was an Awesome look back on Ralphs career in Adult Animation. Can't wait to see What you doing with Richard Williams Animation Lookback in 2019 this time. :D
Merry Christmas, Animat!!
Can't wait for Animation Lookback on the Nicktoons!!
what a fuckin sick series dude thanks
My childhood best friend's father was a writer on the series. Doug Moench.
I almost want to say Mighty Mouse deserves to come back, but how do you even do that? This nutty 80's show already reminds me of those Plastic Man shorts.
After watching all five of the videos, I subbed. I actually liked most of the films and I am now watching them.
Thank you AniMat, you have a Merry Christmas. (Hope you liked the pic I sent you on Twitter)
i think that the next animation lookback is on Richard Williams, but i have a couple ideas for future episodes:
Disneytoon Movies
Disney Television Animation
Nicktoons
Blue Sky
PBS Kids Animation
DHX Media/Cookie Jar/DiC (They are all kind of the same company)
Hasbro Animations
Mattel Animations
DC Animated stuff
Marvel Animated stuff
Rankin/Bass
Jay Ward and Bill Scott
Sony Pictures Animation
Some more Anime stuff
Mabye updated versions of your older animation lookbacks
Merry Christmas AniMat and thanks for doing these.
EXCELLENT work!! I watched all 5 vids. It led me on a path to collect the various Bakshi releases
This Bakshi series is what got me to subscribe, and I can't wait to see which person or group you do a lookback of next. Thank you for this detailed history, and have a good holiday AniMat.
YOUR DOING RICHARD WILLIAMS ARE YOU
Woo! I hoped you would cover this. Bakshi's Mighty Mouse still holds up well now, and it's easy to see it as a "missing link" between the schlock of the 80s and the creator driven works of the 90s.
MissAshley42 This show was reran during the Fox Kids afternoon block back around 1992 or 1993, and it lasted just for only one summer, and it was a brief run during the summer when Fox aired reruns of “Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures”.
One of the episodes from this show was “Don’t Touch That Dial” which was the funniest episode to date. It spoofs the “Jetsons” and the “Flintstones” together called “The Jetstones”, and many of those parodies. I remember seeing this as a kid, and I used to have my recording on a cassette that had home recordings of just a cartoon from TV where “Don’t Touch That Dial” was heard. That brings back memories.
10:06 DAMN, that's John K. without his glasses?
He looks worse than Buddy Holly without his glasses on!
Great video animat , and awesome richard williams is next
as a kid whenever i watched i thought of Mighty Mouse not alot of kids my age knew what i was talking about Mighty mouse was not popular lot of kids thought it was too weird but for it was Hilarious.
I really enjoyed your storytelling. Thank you for making it!
I like the Bakshi version of Mighty Mouse. I can't remember how I saw it though when I was a kid.
‘MIGHTY MOUSE IS ON THE WWAAYY HERE I COME TO SAVE THE DDAAYY!!’
JamesTheBrony/JTB It make you think of Andy Kaufman.
MTN Productions I’m just quoting his catchphrase.
I’m glad you uploaded this today so we could see your Top 5 Best/Worst Of 2018 on Friday.
Bakshi da best
I LOVED "Mighty Mouse" when it was on Saturday Mornings!! Could never get that theme song out of my head. The whole controversy itself was pretty ridiculous, as I loved that particular episode and watched it with my parents (I was 5) and either they never found anything offensive with it (it's not even THAT referencial to ANYTHING; it's just a crushed flower) and never wanted me to turn it off.
van8ryan By 1993, Fox aired “Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures” as a rerun, and it lasted for a brief summer as part of the Fox Kids weekday afternoon block.
Thank you! That whole controversy itself was stupid and ruined the reputation of the show unjustly, I couldn’t believe it
Wonder if Ralph Bakshi is still making animations or meeting up with those he use to work with, talking about past projects to maybe future type of projects ideas might work on?
That was a great video series of Ralph Bakshi. I have never hear of Mighty Mouse before. To me he looks just like Micky Mouse, the Disney mascot. My favorite mouse character is Pikachu. I am a big Pokemon fan. I also like Mrs. Brisby from Secret of Nimh.
Nicely done! Great channel!
I'd like to see a crossover of Danger Mouse meeting Mighty Mouse. Who else does?
Great series!! I love bakshi stuff (heavy traffic is my number one slot on rating bakshi btw)
Can't wait for Richard Williams look back, that man is so inspiring.
Awesome job as always Animat! I may not have seen this incarnation of "Mighty Mouse" yet, but I'm really interested in checking it out after seeing your video on it. Can't wait for your next Animation Lookback, which I assume is Richard Williams?
Either way, Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas Animat!
great stuff man. thanks so much. love ralph stuff
Animation Lookback 2019: Anime Astro boy and Dragon ball z
Actually, the Animation Lookback of 2019 is actually Richard Williams, not Anime Astro Boy and Dragonball Z.
Who is Richard Williams?
@@PaoloJeromeFernandez100899 Well... Richard Williams is an animator who is made famous for trying to make this film called The Thief and the Cobbler for more than 30 years.
Not just Astro Boy.
Animation Lookback: Osamu Tezuka. The man who CREATED Astro Boy, Kimba the White Lion, Blackjack (not the game, the surgery manga) The Phoenix, Princess Knight Dororo, Buddha, Unico, Message to Adolph, The Amazing 3, and MANY others.
Ok, sure, he wasn't an animator, but he was what help build the foundation for what Anime would be today, as well as manga in general. He was, after all, the Godfather of Manga
Can’t wait to see the next animation Lookback
Richard Williams!!!!
WOOHOO!
Merry Christmas, Animat!
It's just what I wanted for Christmas!! Ha ha. Great look at Bakshi, great job Animat
MERRY CHRISTMAS ANIMAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So excited for the Richard Williams videos
Believe It or not I actually do Infact own the original DVD Complete Collection fo this thing and been part of my Inspired Childhood eve since. Although I may not be popular compared to other shows back In the day but Mighty Mouse himself deserve another a chance to be be In the spotlight again with a few newer upgrades and a new code of paint this time.
~
Still my favorite line BTW At 5:50 to 5:52
I like all his movies I have an appreciation for them
I think Paul Terry changed the name to mighty mouse and switched it to a red and yellow suit because he was afraid that the guys who created superman we're going to sue him for the similarities
Talking about copy the outfit, these days we got One Punch Man and he wears similar outfit of Mighty Mouse😅
OMG!!
nickelodeon want make movie on mighty mouse but later is cancelled
i thinks sony,illumination,warner bros or blue sky make movie in mighty mouse
When people tell me that cartoons are for kids, I show them Ralph B's work or South Park. The last person that told me that cartoons are for kids only, I showed them South Park and they immediately are speechless.
Mighty Mouse really jumped the superman ship once Captain Marvel (Shazam) was created and became more popular than superman.
You should do an Animation Lookback for Rankin/Bass.
Damn good job on that flashback and return pull
Just finished and I gotta say, your editing is really on point and I can't wait to see what else comes from you. Happy holidays and merry Yule
Way to wrap this series up about one of my personal favorite animation legends! :)
Mighty Mouse is the Flapjack of the 1990s.
I was a fan of the 80's Mighty Mouse cartoon when I was a kid, and I always wondered why it suddenly went off the air.
12:40
The thief and the cobbler
SERIOUSLY?!, Out of all the top 5 animated movies Ralph did you leave out Wizards?
I appreciate your view on this. Kind of makes me think a little on this type of stuff. But i do kind of wish he got more recogniction for it. Since his movies does seem to be just insane and cool in a sense. But awesome videos!
MERRY CHRISTMAS ANIMAT
Wasn't the Mighty Mouse theme used for one of Andy Kaufman's bits? Like I'm fairly certain he's renowned enough for it to mean something in regards to the influence of Mighty Mouse
Not Applicable I saw a Golden 78 of the Mighty Mouse song at one time, but I might as well get my hands on getting a copy to play on my 1926 Victor Orthophonic VV 8-4 Victoria and I make fun of what Andy Kaufman did at that time.
I'm surprised to see you upload a video on Christmas but I'm glad to see you finally do a video on Mighty Mouse The New Adventures. Out of curiosity what rating would you give the series and who is your favorite mouse in animation aside from Mickey Mouse?
25 years ago Hollywood wanted to produce a Mighty Mouse movie for theaterical distibution, but it never got off the ground. Why? I I don't know, but that's what happened. But some MM fans or animation fans are not giving up hope. They still believe that a new generation of kids and adults who are young at heart can still enjoy the super rodent.
Thankssss i have been waiting for this i am going to get some christmas leftovers to eat while watching this lol
Merry Christmas Dude
After the Richard Williams lookback, can you please do an animation lookback on Osamu Tezuka?
Merry Christmas
That must NOT be the same Paul Terry who played James in James & The Giant Peach.
Merry chrismas
8:19 bruh this fucker be slapping
Will you ever do Animation Loockback Nicktoons
CHAD HAWKSWORTH IT COOD HAPPEN
He hasn't said the idea for Nicktoons has been scrapped. Obviously he's decided to do something a little different for a change of pace. After Richard Williams, Nicktoons may be next.
Andy Kaufman that i think people know mighty mouse
The Next Animation Lookback is The Thief and the Cobbler
O yes
Merry christmas, AniMat! You should check out the works of Satoshi Kon.
Do a full review of Fritz The Cat and Heavy Traffic plzzz
Love your review of Coonskin btw. That's one of my all time fav animated films :)
Brilliant conclusion, and have yourself a Merry Christmas
Hope Somebody reboot this cartoon someday
Mighty Mouse is so Underrated!
I’m confused. I thought we already ended on Ralph bakshi? Someone please correct me.
This is the honorable mention. He usually does this before moving on to the next lookback. The HM is mostly about an project that he wanted to give more time to talk about.
Really? Fritz the Cat, over something like Coonskin or Heavy Traffic which are more thought provoking? Well, you do you Mat. still like to know why you choose it over the others.
Also, hopfully for Animation Lookback: Richard Williams, you talk about more then just The Thief and the Cobbler, like what about his other films like Raggity Anne and Andy or A Christmas Carol?
I think you should review more of Ralph’s movies someday
Didn't know Rich Moore was oart of Mighty Mouse 1987.
I'm rather curious as to what you could possibly come up with for an Honourable Mention, since Richard Williams will only talk about one specific movie. I'm also getting the impression that it will be the second Lookback after Looney Tunes to not feature a Top 10 (or 5) Best Countdown.
