I just wrote about Ralph Bakshi’s “New Adventures Of Mighty Mouse” last Friday, but since I can’t get the PopCult interface to work with any of the videos I’d planned to present to you today, I’m going with a collection of clips from and about the 1987-88 Saturday morning cartoon that lead to a major animation resurgence.

Above you see the opening sequence to the show. After the jump you’ll find some short examples of the show and some behind the scenes clips with some of the animators who went on to do thins like “Ren And Stimpy,” “Wall-E,” “The Simpsons,” “Finding Nemo” and all sorts of high-water marks of animation from the past quarter-century.

As a bonus, here’s a Barq’s Root Beer commercial by Mighty Mouse alumni, John Kricfalusi.
