Mighty Mouse Playhouse 1964. Here he comes to save the day! Saturday cartoon show with commercials.

Mighty Mouse Playhouse entertained a generation of kids Saturday Mornings from 1955 to 1967. The Terrytoons made for theatrical distribution to an adult audience were reborn on the television screen. Many of the cartoons are not politically correct by today's standards...it was a different time. Mighty Mouse was modestly popular when released in the theaters. Television, however, made Mighty Mouse a cultural icon. The commercials in this show are classic. The Nestle's Quik commercials feature ventriloquist Jimmy Nelson, Farfel the Dog, and Danny O'Day, Beefaroni, Jiffy Pop, Snap, Crackle and Pop for Rice Krispies, Froot Loops, and Kool Aid. All have jingles you will remember. This show has three Mighty Mouse cartoons, and a Gaston Le Crayon cartoon. Airdate: Saturday, April 11, 1964. Transferred from 16mm b-w film.

I turned 70 years old recently. This was an important part of the Saturday morning lineup of cartoons and commercials I watched as a youngster. What excellent quality this video has.

[@MoviecraftInc]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@JohnnyT002]

AH! memories of growing up watching this show. I also remember the commercials and the jingles for them.

[@davidbiggs5499]

Just turned 72 myself yea Saturday mornings was the best time to bad they killed it

[@davidscott3820]

@GeeBoggs I'm a 1954 baby too! Happy birthday!😃

[@kerryguzman8263]

I didn't like mighty mouse but I liked the commercial esp the dog saying chocolate😅

[@donnajeffries7913]

I was an innocent child back then. All this cartoon stuff was like magic to me. Then, I got older and had to confront reality. OK. I've learnt to live with it.😮

[@cateclism316]

Makes me want to get Nestle's Quik right now!

[@Ronald-hx6zn]

A commercial I'll never forget!😊

[@observer3232]

Quik and Beefaroni were two of my favorite culinary items at age 9.

Paul Terry was brought up in SanFrancico in the late 1880s and by the time he was in his teenage years, he was working in local newspapers as a cartoonist and photographer. By 1917, the now 20 year old, had his own animation studio. Through the forties and fifties, he was producing theatrical cartoons such as Mighty Mouse, Heckle and Jeckle and Gandy Goose in New Rochelle NY. He sold the studio to CBS in 1955. Then his cartoons gained more popularity when they were released to a television audience. Dick Van Dyke hosted one of the first TerryToon cartoon shows in the mid 50s. More cartoons were produced through the 1960s. Terrys iconic cartoon characters live on today and can still be seen on television and KZbin thanks to Moviecraft Inc.

[@user-ul3lx2sl1q]

My favorite creation of his is Cuckooman.

[@kevinwachs5905]

1917 - 20 = 1897. Terry was 30 when he founded Paul Terry Productions.

[@musicom67]

@@user-ul3lx2sl1q That was Ralph Bakshi.

[@viktorkarlsohn3705]

I remember on a Heckle and Jeckle cartoon, them discussing the calendar. "We have Moonday, Thirstday and Frightday."

[@heathdauberman8481]

Yet, there are no Terrytoons on physical media. No licensed blu ray or dvds ever. I do have a clamshell vhs comp that’s legit from the mid ‘80s. It’s the only one I’ve ever found that wasn’t just recycling the the same 3 grungy public domain Mighty Mouse dupes. Even UPA was given a prestige dvd box set but not Terrytoons? I want my Andy Panda 4kUHD steelbook!

🥰Thank you 🥰Great cartoons , great commercials , great memories . 🥰

[@MoviecraftInc]

Our pleasure!

[@nomadpi1]

The date on the MAST (MXMLI) was 1951. I'm now eight decades old. I didn't watch television growing up as the movies only cost a dime admission. I remember TERRYTOONS from Sat. afternoons westerns at the Ritz Theater. Two B-Movie westerns, a 15-minute serial and 2 cartoons (usually TERRYOON characters). I only saw one Mighty Mouse cartoon in that time (same for Heckle and Jeckel). There were way too many Casper cartoons. I remember other cartoons were Henry, Lulu & Sluggo, Little Audrey, Baby Huey, Herman & Catnip, Gerald McBongBoing, to name some. If the cartoons were lacking, there might be an extra 15-minute serial. The theater was packed with kids as parents did their grocery shopping, got haircuts, attended rummage sales etc. so the kids were given 20 cents or a quarter and sent to the movies. This was the early 1950s. A dime to get in and cokes, candy bars, popcorn all cost a nickel each. Now tell me today's kids have it better with hugely expensive phones and need $50 to wander the mall. Now we need Mighty Mouse to come to save the day

[@MoviecraftInc]

Thanks for sharing. I just bought a 3 Musketeer candy bar for one of my grandkids...would you believe $2.00? Nickle candy bars...Those were the days.

[@DLCOrganization]

That's actually "MCMLI".

[@CHUCKSNORRIS]

$50? where you been? It's $150 now.

[@tombeers5636]

Thank you! Don't know what else to say, thank you.

[@MoviecraftInc]

You are very welcome.

[@LonnieBishop-i3v]

Wonderful childhood memories from the early 60s .

[@Robert-qm5so]

You guys are the best 😊

[@MoviecraftInc]

Thank You

[@chriscma1]

Remember this as a very small child. It often upset me when Mighty Mouse was occasionally put in in mortal danger.

[@JAMESPATTERSON-mk9sr]

The late comedian Andy Kaufman used to do a Mighty mouse routine as part of his act years ago . I had forgotten about Jimmy Nelson and his act with Danny O Day and Farfel , the talking dog . N-E-S-T-L-E-S ,

[@davidscott3820]

I remember the show and the commercials! Thanks!❤😂🎉

[@MoviecraftInc]

You have a great memory. You're welcome!

[@cozmikfunkrabbitt30]

Nestle's Quik tasted so good back then, today's Quik is not the same

[@LorenIpsum75]

That's pioneer TV Vent Jimmy Nelson with Danny O'Day and dog Farfel. Nelson was well-known for his Nestle Quik ads. 😎

[@KrakenMan5853]

Danny O'Day looks a lot like like Jerry Mahoney. I wonder if they were made by the same puppet maker.

[@MoviecraftInc]

They are very close. Could be...wonder if anyone knows for sure.

[@KrakenMan5853]

​@@MoviecraftInc I did some research. Frank Marshall, the same puppeteer who made Jerry Mahoney, also created Danny O'Day and Farfel.

[@kensims4086]

Andy Kaufman singing this on snl in the 70s. So funny.

[@antoinettegreen5344]

Here I come to save the Daaaay!!

[@DonBernardo]

Andy Kaufman would be PROUD of Your Comment ! 😉

[@AndrewFloydWebber]

When I was 12 (1978-79) we lived right next to the local train yard and the work whistle there would sound at 7 a.m. If I was still in bed on Saturday morning when that whistle blew, I jumped out of bed, dressed super quick, and ran downstairs. Mighty Mouse came on at 7 sharp, just like that whistle!

[@MoviecraftInc]

Very cool!

[@jamieimai9328]

Awesome 😎

[@MoviecraftInc]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@ks2xgaks2xga]

'Oil Can Harry!' That brings back memories!!

[@davestang5454]

The narrator sounds like LESLIE NIELSON. "Don't call me Shirley, Mighty Mouse!"

[@fromthesidelines]

In 1964, the series was seen at 10:30am(et) [in black and white]. Jimmy Nelson and his dummies {Danny O'Day, Farfel} appeared in Nestle's Quik commercials in the 1950's and '60s.

With SNL about to celebrate its 50th anniversary, it’s important to know that this bit was used by Andy Kaufman on the Premier episode.

Paul Terry's Terrytoons were, at one time, the cartoon division of 20th Century-Fox, and later a division of CBS. Here we come to save the day!

[@darrylh1971]

Hope you have more Saturday morning TV cartoon prints w/o/c from the 1960's to upload to KZbin someday.

[@MoviecraftInc]

We will watch for more as we catalogue the collection.

[@joaniewg]

Thank you for bringing back childhood memories. I was 1 when that was aired. See whether you come across The Big World of Little Adam. They were very short and I'm not sure whether they aired on Wonderama.

[@MoviecraftInc]

Glad you like it. Will watch for Big World of Little Adam as we check through films.

[@Pghyinzer]

This is great! More of this, please! Also, I would like to see more remastered episodes of The People’s Choice.

[@MoviecraftInc]

Glad you enjoyed it. We have more Peoples Choice on Tubi and Plex...give them a look!

[@Pghyinzer]

@MoviecraftInc i actually watch all of those episodes. There are other one around, but not as good as the ones you restored.

This must have been after Colgate Dental Crème had ended their MMP sponsorship . Without the big hit MMP there would not have been the Underdog show on Sat. mornings .

[@dennismorgan1690]

Hey, great find. Do you have one for the heckle and jeckel show.

[@MoviecraftInc]

We will keep an eye out here. We have many shows not catalogued and Heckel & Jeckel is a possibility.

[@dennismorgan1690]

Thanks. Hope you can find one.

That't my childhood

[@christopherdunne7848]

Not being a huge Terrytoons fan, I just wanna know, were these cartoons edited for time, to fit four in a half hour with all the commercials? I was 4 or 5 years old back in 1964.

[@MoviecraftInc]

I would think there could be editing of some. but not all, of the cartoons to fit the time slot.

[@ks2xgaks2xga]

@@MoviecraftInc I know there was more to the intro song than they have here.
