MIGHTY MOUSE DESERVES A MOVIE!!!!!

To all MM fans:

It seems to me that within the past few years, to this

day, every cartoon charector that was ever drawn on a

piece of paper is getting a motion picture. All that is

except Mighty Mouse! What is wrong with this

picture?? Let's see, Mighty Mouse was the very first

cartoon charector to appear on Saturday mornings.

Let's face it, we all grew up on Mighty Mouse singing

his famous "Here I come to save the Day!!!!!", and with

out him we probably would not have at least half of

the other charectors that we have today, as a lot of

them got their start on the Saturday morning circet.

Yes, charectors have been put on the big screen from

Casper the Friendly Ghost, to Inspector Gadget, George

of the Jungle, Mr. Magoo and Rocky & Bullwinckle.

Now, I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with

them getting a movie, but what's fair is fair and I for

one am getting sick and tired of MM always being

passed over.

Besides, what 2 types of movies usualy do well at the

box office? Animation and super hero flicks and MM is

both, he can't lose. As long as they make it the right

way, NO LIVE ACTION!!! Keep him animated the way he

is and should be. Also, what people can do with

computer graphics these days, can you imagine what

they can do with a MM movie? Looks great already

dosen't it??

But futermore, it's the charector himself that is

perfect movie matterial. You can just do a lot more

with MM than you can do with those other charectors

because he is a superhero.

I feel that the problem is with the company that

licenses him, Viacom. They have owned his licensing

rights for years, so where is he?? You don't see his

cartoons on TV, in comic books and no movie yet.

Meanwhile all of these other charectors are coming

back; so when is it going to be his turn??

Oh sure, it was said, in the past, that there was a

movie in the works, but nothing was made, a comic

book was supposed to come out last summer, again

nothing. And why isn't he on TV?? He should be on

"The Cartoon Network" or "Nikelodeon" (also owned by

Viacom). At one piont there was a Viacom

Enertainment Store in Chicago. It sold MM stuff, very

nice MM merchandise. They wanted to compete with

the Disney and WB store chains. But, they did not

branch out and the store closed down some years ago.

Smart huh? Not branching it out.

I say, you have to take a chance. It's what all of those

other people did with all of those other cartoon

charectors and they all have movies. It's what Paul

Terry did when he invented MM almost 60 years ago.

It's what Viacom has to do with MM. Get him out there,

put him back on TV and make that MM movie!!!!! He

and his fans, like myself, deserve it!!!!!

Now, fellow MM fans, I need your help. I can't do this

alone, I've tried. Please, E-mail Viacom, here is the

URL, Viacom , you can ask them to look into makeing a

MM movie and why there has not been one yet?

Viacom dose own Paramount Pictures. Remind them

of those other charectors who have gotten movies. The

more MM fans that write Viacom the better. One of the

best reasons for him to have a movie is so that the

younger generations will be able to see him. The more

the better. And you can also tell them to put MM back

on TV where he belongs :)

I thank all of you for taking the time to read this

article, and for your help. MM has saved the day many

a time, now it's our turn to save the day for him!!!!!
