Here is an oldy but a goody, Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse in The Case of the Carnival Capers. You liked the first one I pulled out and dusted off so here is another one of the best of this series! Here is another Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse featuring The Easter Bunny and his sid kicks The Ape and The Squral! This cartoon is formulaic and predictable by todays standards. The animation is crude and the colors are rudimentary, however this is one of the very first color cartoon series made specifically for the very low budget world of Saturday Morning TV and is one heck of a lot better than Cornel Bleep! It was created by Bob Kane as a silly parody on his own creation of Batman and work on Superman, sort of an early 1960's version of "A Cartoon by Robert Smigel" fun made for Saturday Night Live cartoons.

Big surprise, it was a hit - it ultimately has 130 episodes and still hangs around in our distant memories today, at least if you are old enough to have seen it on after school TV in the 1970's, that pit of mediocracy known as UHF, before basic cable there was a strange dial on your TV that got additional blurry channels called UHF channels, this is where most of us older cartoon fans saw this gem!

We bring you the long forgotten episode and restored it as best we could with the masters we were working from, this is just for fun! Original Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse New Restored Lost Episode - Case of the North Woods Caper: Episode 65 "The Case of the Northwoods Caper"1961 Courageous and Minute go after Bully Bulldog when he wreaks havoc in the woods.

Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse is a 1960 children's cartoon television show that was produced by Trans-Artists Productions and syndicated by Tele Features Inc. The characters were originated and created by authors Bob Kane and Gerald J. Rappoport as a spoof of Kane's earlier creations, Batman and Robin. In many ways, Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse presages the "campier" aspects of the later Batman live action series, which William Dozier and Howie Horwitz produced as a villain-driven action-comedy lampoon. Storyboard design was by Kane's assistant/ghost, Sheldon Moldoff.

I dare you to watch this and not get a little twinge of "wow this really sucks, but dam if it isn't kind of good in a way" feeling. In any case, this is as good as I could get my source material, and I think you will find it better than any other version available free on YouTube without buying the old DVD.

Enjoy the fun for the first time, or re-ignite some memories!
