Dachs Apr 19, 2012, 12:29 PM Man, that movie had an amazing VA cast. Bob Newhart, Eva Gabor, John Candy, and George C. Scott???
Disgustipated Apr 19, 2012, 12:32 PM my vote goes to itchy

edit: my poor ol' mum was mouse-phobic. i managed to kill a mouse, once with a trap and once by accident, twice (nb not the same mouse - i think. unless it was a reincarnated mouse)
edit2: mice, mice, there be mice everywhere
did someone mention Jerry?

Oh my God, I totally forgot about the Rescuers. They are going to the top of my list.
Turquoiside Apr 19, 2012, 03:36 PM I vote the next thread be ranking cartoon ducks.

_random_ Apr 19, 2012, 04:20 PM I just realized that Tom is the Cat and Jerry is the mouse. I apologize for my mistake.

Maybe we need a Top Cat Thread
Cheezy the Wiz Apr 19, 2012, 04:46 PM The Rats of NIMH
The Rescuers
The Great Mouse Detective
Jerry's Uncle Peco (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOwhrCkMiKA)
The Doremouse
Gadget
Brain
Speedy Gonzalez
All other cartoon mice
ParkCungHee Apr 19, 2012, 05:32 PM Lord Rattigan is the world's greatest mouse. Duh.
Dachs Apr 19, 2012, 05:40 PM Lord Rattigan is the world's greatest mouse. Duh.
Ratigan was a rat, not a mouse.
Although...Vincent Price...
Borachio Apr 19, 2012, 06:26 PM is any one mouse more important than another? i personally doubt it. but if a list merely reflects a non-judgemental ranking according to strictly individual taste, and there is every reason to suppose that all lists hereto erm...listed do so, then why not.
my position is though: one mouse cannot be placed anywhere in any list higher or lower than any other mouse.
my position is radical equality for all mice. listed vertically, or horizontally.
may i include in any final list, those two mice from the hitchhikers guide?:
i give you, fellow players: Frankie and Benjy http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/hitchhikers/guide/mice.shtml
Silurian Apr 19, 2012, 06:29 PM Frankie and Benjy are not cartoon mice.
ParkCungHee Apr 19, 2012, 06:29 PM Ratigan was a rat, not a mouse.
Oh my dear Dachs, I'm afraid you've gone and upset me.
bombshoo Apr 19, 2012, 07:41 PM The Pokedex says Pikachu is a mouse Pokemon. Does he count?
Takhisis Apr 19, 2012, 07:46 PM Doesn't this belong in A&E?
Bernard and Bianca, 'nuff said.
And uber-arsehole Jerry. And Mickey. And Minnie. And Fievel. And the Brain (with Pinky) and Larry. And the adorable Speedy Gonzales. Mise are great!

"But," says man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It proves you exist and so therefore you don't. QED."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
"Oh, that was easy," says man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white, and gets killed on the next zebra crossing.

Bull. Number one, you can do it. Number two, the rules of debate were set before you from the start. You knew not picking wasn't an option. If this were the Chamber, I'd send you to Fenwick, have you stuffed into a rocket ship and blasted to the moon so I could hear your mousy roar. But, it isn't, so all I am left with is thanking you for your contribution.
The Pokedex says Pikachu is a mouse Pokemon. Does he count?
No. Pika are lagomorphs, not rodents.
Omega124 Apr 20, 2012, 12:50 PM No. Pika are lagomorphs, not rodents.
Except that Pikachu IS the mouse Pokémon, and that Pikachu is not named after pikas but the Japanese onomonopias for sparkling (pikapika) and mice squeaking (chuchu)

_random_ Apr 20, 2012, 12:51 PM Pikachu's name is derived from Japanese onomatopoeia for electrical sparks, not from the animal.
Edit: Crosspost.
Takhisis Apr 20, 2012, 12:55 PM Raichu's more awesome anyway.
Leoreth Apr 20, 2012, 12:57 PM Page 2 and nobody has mentioned Biker Mice From Mars yet? Why? Why??

Cheezy the Wiz Apr 20, 2012, 01:02 PM Raichu's more awesome anyway.
True statement is true. Never evolve before or after 26 (unless you're playing R/B, in which case it's never too early).
Takhisis Apr 20, 2012, 01:17 PM Page 2 and nobody has mentioned Biker Mice From Mars yet? Why? Why??
Because… we forgot. Sorry. :cry:

There's Pokémon games other than Red and Blue? You young whippersnappers and your newfangled contraptions!
rugbyLEAGUEfan Apr 20, 2012, 01:31 PM I'm not arguing with a guy named Cheezy in a thread about mice
Leoreth Apr 20, 2012, 01:32 PM Pokemon totally jumped the Gyarados after Red/Blue.
Formaldehyde Apr 20, 2012, 01:47 PM No mention of Farfour so far?

Takhisis Apr 20, 2012, 01:50 PM No, 'cos he's a pćdobear, i.e., a guy in a suit, not a drawn cartoon.

You've all been wrong anyway. Dangermouse is clearly superior to the others. FACT.

Hey, Pokémon was my childhood, so even to this day I know a lot about the indiviual Pokémon. :p
Anyways, Pikachu can summon lighting's wrath upon its foes, can dash super fast, and temporarily turn its tail into steel. Dangermouse can do what?
brennan Apr 20, 2012, 02:34 PM Dangermouse saved the world every Thursday afternoon.
Pikachu looks like he's crapping himself everytime he tries to do something and then faints. Bit of a loser tbh.

Welcome to the internet. Let us know when we just seem kind of pathetic.
Cheezy the Wiz Apr 20, 2012, 02:38 PM Hey, mouse poop is deadly. HPS will kill the crap out of you. Assuming you don't die from a thundershock sooner.

edit 21:34 too late now i know, but i was intending referencing frankie and benjy mouse. and seem, oh somehow i don't know how, to have missed the mark. <sigh>

May I ask if you will be having a glass of Mice Wine:)
Save_Ferris Apr 20, 2012, 03:26 PM What about the mice from Titanic*?
*Titanic: The animated musical.
Borachio Apr 21, 2012, 01:37 AM May I ask if you will be having a glass of Mice Wine:)
No. Actually I had 1/2 cider. And a highly entertaining evening. Amongst other things, some bloke told a, what seemed to me to be a perfectly pleasant mannered, woman that she was a nosy cow. Whereupon she poured most of a pint of lager over his head, and left.
I nearly fell off the barstool laughing. Guy was very wet and very bewildered. Kept saying well she is a nosy cow.
edit: regrettably this doesn't seem to have much to do with mice.
Were/are there any mythological mice? I bet Aesop had one somewhere. What did Aesop's mouse do?

This is the correct answer to the thread. All other answers are inferior and shall be made the subject of mockery in future threads.

Nah. G/S/C was an improvement. Everything after that has been repetitive garbage.

DroopyTofu Apr 21, 2012, 09:41 PM Let's see, of mice that I thought of before reading all of this thread
1.) Jerry
2.) Mickey Mouse
After reading the thread, I'd put Pikachu between those and Ratchet below Pikachu.
Off Topic: Pikachu is much better than Raichu. Raichu in the show were always so arrogant. I don't want snob Pokemon.
Takhisis Apr 21, 2012, 10:02 PM They had a right to be arrogant.
Cheezy the Wiz Apr 22, 2012, 08:15 AM If you've ever bothered to raise a Pikachu into the 50s, you'd have seen just how crappy they are. They're nice for torpedoing Pidgies and crap but they can't swing it with the big dogs; er, mice. Hell, even Red's LV 88 Volt Tackle is nothing spectacular, comparatively speaking.

Add a Light Ball to your Pikachu. It doubles Pikachu's (And not Raichu's) attack and special attack. Pikachu turns from a mediocre Pokémon to the biggest example of a glass cannon in the entire series.
