In 1979&ndash;1980, [[Filmation]] made television cartoons starring Mighty Mouse and fellow Terrytoon characters [[Heckle and Jeckle]] in a show called ''[[The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse and Heckle & Jeckle]]''. The show introduced two new characters: a vampire duck named Quacula (not to be confused with [[Count Duckula]]), and Oil Can Harry's bumbling, large, but swift-running, henchman Swifty. The show premiered in 1979 and lasted two seasons. In the Filmation series and movie, Mighty Mouse and Oil Can Harry were performed by veteran voice artist [[Alan Oppenheimer]], and Pearl Pureheart was voiced by [[Diane Pershing]]. [[Frank Welker]] played Heckle, Jeckle and Quacula, and [[Norm Prescott]] played Theodore H. Bear.<ref name=Scheimer>{{cite book |last1=Scheimer |first1=Lou |last2= Mangels |first2=Andy |title=Creating the Filmation Generation |date=2012 |publisher=TwoMorrows Publishing |isbn=978-1-60549-044-1 |page=164}}</ref>

Each episode included two traditional ''Mighty Mouse'' cartoons, as well as an episode of a Mighty Mouse science-fiction serial, "The Great Space Chase". The hour was rounded out with two ''Heckle & Jeckle'' cartoons and one ''Quacula'' cartoon, plus short bumpers with tips about safety and the environment. The total cartoons produced for the series were 32 ''Mighty Mouse'' cartoons, 32 ''Heckle & Jeckle'' cartoons, 16 episodes of "The Great Space Chase" and 16 ''Quacula'' cartoons.<ref name=Scheimer/>

The "Space Chase" episodes were edited together into a theatrical matinee movie, ''[[Mighty Mouse in the Great Space Chase]]'', which was released on December 10, 1982.
