Fine Tooning with Drew Taylor

How Mighty Mouse Accidentally Invented Saturday Morning Cartoons (Ep. 325)

Listen Later

This week on Fine Tooning, Jim Hill and Drew Taylor rewind to the mid-1950s to uncover how a forgotten studio sale and one scrappy rodent changed television forever. Along the way, they’ll cover everything from box office updates to Paw Patrol holiday specials, plus the latest shake-ups inside Disney corporate.

  • The Disney-related twist behind CBS launching Mighty Mouse Playhouse in 1955
  • How that decision created the Saturday morning cartoon tradition
  • What the Jimmy Kimmel controversy means for Bob Iger and Disney’s upcoming animated releases
  • New trailers and festival buzz for projects like The Sisters Grimm and Splinter Cell: Deathwatch

    • From network rivalries of the 1950s to today’s streaming-first landscape, Jim and Drew connect the dots on how animation keeps reshaping the industry.
