Maus is a character from German TV's longest-running educational show, Die Sendung Mit Der Maus ('The Show With the Mouse', otherwise known internationally as Mouse TV).
Despite Maus's wildly successful 40-year run, broadcaster WDR hasn't been kind to his interstitial animations, known as Mausspots. These consist of one-minute cartoons showcasing the antics of Maus and his pals, Elefant (a midget blue elephant), Ente (a yellow duck) and Hase (a pink bunny).
