The serialized Mighty Mouse story "The Great Space Chase" from The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse and Heckle and Jeckle Saturday morning series made it into a 1982 movie by Filmation.

Story

Mighty Mouse must save the galaxy from the evil cat Harry the Heartless and rescue Queen Pureheart in this animated children's adventure.

History

Star Wars mania was strong in 1982 with The Empire Strikes Back and the upcoming Return of the Jedi. Filmation wanted to cash in, so they took the serialized Mighty Mouse story "The Great Space Chase" from The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse and Heckle and Jeckle Saturday morning series and made it into a movie.

With the tagline The Cartoon Superhero In His First Feature Film, the film was not the hit Filmation wanted and the film was re-released as a kids' matinee film. The film, released twice on VHS, is out of print. The movie poster for the film is rare and is a major collectible. It has not yet been released on DVD or Blu-Ray.
