Please rank cartoon mice, listing best (by whatever definition) to least. Please do not cop out by saying you can’t make a decision; you know you can—cowboy up and do it.

My ranks:
The Rescuers
Mickey Mouse
Danger Mouse
Rastamouse
The Mice From Disney’s Cinderella
Mighty Mouse
Fivel

Explanations are optional.

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?

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

"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.

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)

True statement is true. Never evolve before or after 26 (unless you're playing R/B, in which case it's never too early).

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?

Pikachu looks like he's crapping himself everytime he tries to do something and then faints. Bit of a loser tbh.

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?

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.

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.
