Who owns Deputy Dawg, Space Nut and Mighty Mouse? (1 Viewer)

[Randy*S]

I was wondering, who owns the rights to these great cartoons? I know that Mighty Mouse cartoons are often found on Public Domain collections but I would really like to see these get a good release!

Thanks Richard, Imeant "Astronut"

There are a few Mighty Mouse cartoons on some budget dvd collections and the New Adventures of Migfhty but that's all. It would great to see all of the Terry Toons released on a set.

Randy,


sadly or not, the Terrytoons are owned and controlled by CBS, complete and outright, so if they decided to do anything, it could be via them or olive,

The Terrytoon cartoons (originally released by 20th Century Fox) were purchased by Viacom in the 70's, which has since ended up with CBS, where they've been ever since.

CBS bought the TerryToons catalog in 1955 for their syndication arm. Said syndication arm later went independent in the early 70s and became Viacom.

I would really like to see releases for Mighty Mouse and Deputy Dawg. As for Far Out Space Nuts, I've been surprised that there has never been a complete set put out, just a few episodes on DVD and VHS. Perhaps there is some legal issue. At any rate, it is high on my want list.

I would like to see Mighty Mouse, Deputy Dawg, Hector Heathcote, The Adventures of Lariat Sam, Tom Terrific and Heckle and Jeckle from Terrytoons. I don't know if there is any chance having VEI do something with these or not, but I would be interested in all of these.

I have a couple of Lariat Sam and Hector Heathcote VHS tapes that are not in very good condition. I burned them to DVD some time ago, but they are what they are. There are 3 or 4 Lariat Sam episodes on You Tube, so those few episodes are available to watch. Tom Terrific has some clips posted on You Tube last time I checked, but that was it. I have an alternate Deputy Dawg set, which appears to be taped from TV as the source material. Quality varies from watchable to rough. I would gladly replace all of these with official releases.

CBS apparently has zero interest in releasing this material, so it is going to take someone else to do it. Maybe VEI will have some interest, or maybe it will take a company like Thunderbean to do it. I just hope we eventually get this material out on a quality DVD release.

I would buy a official set too. I've seen the youtube videos too but CBS is loosing a lot of money by not marketing Mighty Mouse since he's a popular character. And there are 32 characters and six TV series for CBS and all better than the garbage on Cartoon Network, Nick or Disney these days

I'd like to see them release Mighty Mouse, Heckle and Jeckle, Deputy Dawg, Astronut, James Hound and Mighty Heros. Even a MOD set would be welcome!

I'm in for some more Mighty Mouse. Sad that more hasn't been released by now, but considering that I don't believe it's been rerun on TV in decades, I'm not surprised. I'd also like to see a Hashimoto Mouse release but I'm not holding my breath.

It's bizare that none of these classic 60s cartoons have seen a release other than VHS.
