I was definitely exhausted and confused last week since I showed a Scrappy I already had! This means, officially, I owe everyone a Scrappy that *hasn\u2019t* here. We\u2019ve done a lot of Scrappys over these last 10 years or so, but there are still quite a few to choose from so there will be another attempt soon.<\/p>\n

So, after another whole day of putting together student work, I\u2019m all out of Thunderbean Thursday<\/em> ideas\u2014 and don\u2019t want to do one of my \u2018work in progress\u2019 posts tonight since I want to out more work into them. So, after some debating, a Mighty Mouse cartoon we haven\u2019t shown (!) seems to fit the bill.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a print of Triple Trouble<\/em> \u2013 with original titles and end titles too! It does have a splice near the end, and I haven\u2019t looked at another copy to see what isn\u2019t there at this point. I assume the title Triple Trouble<\/em> refers to the Colonel falling off a bridge on the east river, Oil Can Harry chasing Pearl, and Mighty Mouse tied up and about to be eaten by Vultures. It really does seem that Oil Can Harry *could* have found a place a little closer than a desert to do him in.<\/p>\n The animation in this particular cartoon is sort of all over the place, with a lot of not-so-well animated shots, especially near the beginning. The bulldog cops seem more comfortable in a Heckle and Jeckle cartoon than a Mighty Mouse I think, and there\u2019s some fun Jim Tyler animation in the last quarter of the film.<\/p>\n So, for now\u2014 I\u2019m getting some rest and staying away from Scrappy postings, so for now enjoy the merriment of Terrytoons!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cartoonresearch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/mighty_mouse250.jpg\")
It isn\u2019t as if they\u2019re aren\u2019t interesting animation related things brewing over here. In fact, there\u2019s things on all sorts of fronts I\u2019m looking forward to sharing. As you\u2019re reading this, I\u2019ll be having my last \u2018official\u2019 day of the semester at the school, so it\u2019s now a Thunderbean summer for me.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cartoonresearch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Mighty-title-card-344-300x172.jpg\")
I remember seeing this one a bunch of times as a kid \u2014 and especially remember Pearl breaking out into a more honkey-tonk version of her song early on in the picture. I don\u2019t think this is top cartoon-making in any way, but there sure are a lot of cool cityscape backgrounds with extreme angles. Oil Can Harry may get hit with more things per shot than any other film. The poor Colonel spend a majority of this film \u2018falling\u2019 throughout the film\u2014 and I think that\u2019s one of the best gags. There\u2019s something odd about seeing them carrying out a turn-of-the-century operetta in modern New York; somehow it works better with a less-specific era.<\/p>\n
