With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- A natural pick for anyone who's ever talked to their pet and people who need a good giggle. An animal steals a fair few scenes.
- The mood
- Light and funny, feel-good.
- The pace
- Bright and bouncy, at 7 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1938: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
A little cat must take his sick father's place as night watchman, but is bullied by a tough mouse and his gang, leaving the rest of the mice free to eat all the food and stage a musical floor show.
