Ralph Bakshi's Mighty Mouse

Okay, the truth is I'm not a fan of Ralph Bakshi's "Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures" (CBS, 1987-1988), although I did enjoy the classic Terrytoons series at one time. I remember the Bakshi cartoons were criticized for being repeatedly off-model--and they are--but this was clearly a deliberate creative decision. At any rate, if I were a fan, I think a cell like this one signed by Bakshi with an original production background would not be a bad deal.

No one can be faulted for singing along with the theme song:
"Mighty Mouse:  The New Adventures" (1987)
Opening Theme
Bakshi Animation

Or for not singing along:
Andy Kaufman, Mighty Mouse Theme
"Saturday Night" Season 1

Note:  You may want to check out some other blog posts with animation art. You never know what you'll find, but in this case it's very likely to be Disney.
