These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
YMMV: Mighty Mouse
Adaptation Displacement: Because of the massive importance of Bakshi version, no-one cares about the 1970's Filmation revival anymore.
Crowning Moment of Awesome: The 1945 cartoon "Gypsy Life" was nominated for an Outstanding Animated Short Subject Academy Award.
Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures
Crowning Moment of Awesome: Mighty Mouse's diatribe about Saturday morning TV to the toddler, who said he was bored:
Mighty Mouse: Well, of course you're bored! Look what you're watching! Hour upon hour of electronic pablum!! Imitation is the sincerest form of television!!
And then after he convinces the tyke to go out and play:
Mighty Mouse: (to us) But enough of all this lying and hypocrisy...time for what television's really about. (cut to commercial)
Genre Turning Point: John Kricfalusi explained the series' massive influence on and importance to all American animation that would come after it to the AV Clubin 2001:
It was the first series that was completely created by cartoonists: It was written by cartoonists, all the creative decisions were made by cartoonists, and we created all the characters. It was totally different from anything anybody had done. We broke every rule you could think of, everything they told you that you couldn't do.[...]A whole bunch of things we did once or twice on Mighty Mouse became whole trends in other people's cartoons. Everybody copied it instantly.
Too Good to Last: Media Watchdogs complained that a scene of Mighty Mouse inhaling a crushed flower was meant to be representative of drug use. It wasn't, but relations between CBS and Bakshi's camp soured and at the height of the controversy, CBS used the axed the show in the middle of its second season and after only 19 episodes.
The Scrappy: Parodied by Mighty Mouse's young ward, Scrappy the mouse
