"Mighty Mouse" animated feature film in development from Paramount

[jefferiestubes8]

Paramount is pushing forward with a reboot of "Mighty Mouse."

The Terrytoons cartoon was a staple on Saturday morning television from the 1950s to the 1980s,

the studio has, over the last few months, been seeking both a new writer and a new director for "Mouse," with a number of up-and-comers on the list. We''ll keep you posted when they're hired, but the very fact of development momentum is noteworthy.

The project, based on the vintage cartoon about a crime-fighting super-mouse (which will surely get a modern spin) has been in development for several years at Paramount and its Nickelodeon Movies label.

The original 1940s "Mighty Mouse" comic was designed as a a satire of the then-popular "Superman," a kind of subversive postmodern creation before entertainment (and most of the world) was familiar with subversive postmodern creations.
