    Quite dissapointing, it looked really good in the trailer but the story in general was bad as well as some of the characters. However, props for being original.

    Lovely charming little movie. Well worth your time. Have certainly seen better, however EACH movie has it's own charm and THIS one certainly captures a genuine spirit of its own. Worth your time and money (in my opinion)

    Very cute movie even for 20 year old. Great morality instilled in this movie and great metaphors with the rats and mice.
