Mighty Mouse – “The Mouse of Tomorrow” – Castle Films Version

Here’s the 1950 16mm Castle Films B&W-only home movie release of the first Mighty Mouse cartoon. This was also released in a silent 16mm and silent 8mm version. Notice that Castle put their own title cards on it, but unlike the shortened CBS versions, the cartoon is fully complete, including the opening and closing titles music…and instead of the “replaced” narration of “Mighty Mouse!” when the mouse bursts through the cheese, the original track is still intact. An original 1942 negative was obviously provided to Castle to make their own version for the home movie marketplace.
