Your distant cousin Mighty Mouse is on his way.<br \/><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm1073238\/\">Matt Lieberman<\/a> has reportedly been tapped to write the script for a feature film adaptation of the iconic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0227932\/?ref_=sr_t_3\"><em><strong>Mighty Mouse<\/strong> <\/em><\/a>cartoon for Ryan Reynolds and his production company, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/search\/title\/?companies=co0683138\">Maximum Effort Productions<\/a>. Paramount had previously announced, in 2019, that a live-action\/animation hybrid movie starring the supermouse would be scripted by Jon and Eric Hoeber.<br \/><br \/>Lieberman, who wrote the <em><strong>Scoob!<\/strong><\/em> script, had earlier worked with Reynolds on <em><strong>Free Guy<\/strong><\/em>, a fantasy adventure that debuted in 2021, and also chalked up a respectable list of writing credits. In addition to <em><strong>Scoob!<\/strong><\/em> They include <em><strong>The Christmas Chronicles<\/strong><\/em>, <em><strong>Rumble<\/strong><\/em>, and <em><strong>The Addams Family<\/strong><\/em>. He also created <em><strong>Deadpool &amp; Wolverine<\/strong><\/em> and appeared in Paramount\u2019s <em><strong>If<\/strong><\/em> last summer.<br \/><br \/>Mighty Mouse appeared in dozens of short cartoons produced by Terrytoons that were shown on television and at Saturday afternoon movie matinees through the late 1980s. The original character, together with his feline nemesis, Oil Can Harry, was first seen in the 1940s as a satiric comment on the Superman comics. Mighty Mouse\u2019s theme song, which began \u201cHere he comes to save the day\u201d quickly became a mantra of the Boomer generation.<br \/><br \/>Over the years, the supermouse character was featured in two animation revivals, one by Filmation Studios in 1979 and the second, which was titled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0161170\/\"><em><strong>Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures<\/strong><\/em><\/a> in 1987. The latter project was created by Terrytoons veteran Ralph Bakshi.<br \/><br \/>Maximum Deal also announced that it would be renewing its deal with Paramount through 2026. Among its other projects with the studio include <em><strong>Boy Band<\/strong><\/em>, <em><strong>Starter Villain<\/strong><\/em>, and <em><strong>Eloise<\/strong><\/em>. Brad Butler, the vice president of animated features at Paramount Animation, will be overseeing the <em><strong>Mighty Mouse<\/strong><\/em> production. <br \/><br \/>Lieberman, meanwhile, is represented by several entities: CAA, Lit Entertainment Group, Mortimer PR, and Lichter, Grossman, Nichols, Feldman, Rogal, Shikora &amp; Clark.<br \/><br \/>Check out other stories by Edward<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watch your ears, Mickey.
