One of Adult Swim's best series, More people should see this show.
Obscure, rare, and overshadowed by numerous other Adult Swim series, 12oz Mouse is still one of my favorite animated shows to come from Adult Swim. This DVD set has all 20 episodes combined into one big movie, with half on each disc. There are also a bunch of extras on the discs including fan art of the show's characters, extra animations that weren't part of the main series that revolve around a subplot, and music from the show. I won't spoil the show's plot too much, but it follows the drunken, destructive adventures of Mouse Fitzgerald, a green alcoholic mouse and his best friend Skillet, a chinchilla that can shoot eye lasers and can hover using flaming jets from his feet. Most of the plot involves them joining forces with supporting cast of strange characters against the series' corporate, conspiratorial villains, Shark and Rectangular Businessman, who are literally a shark and a rectangle who is a businessman. If you like drug and alcohol humor and the Matrix movies, you will enjoy this. The show's art style is minimalistic and simple, but it works well with the humor. My favorite thing to do is get drunk and try to see if the humor is better while drunk, though I've never done this successfully because I always fall asleep, it makes an excellent sleep aid. Stoners will also enjoy their own version of this challenge, especially when the character Peanut Cop shows up. Read more
