Isabel Quigly The Spectator Brilliantly plotted, so that everything is satisfactorily linked and coincidence seems like destiny, The Mouse and his Child is more than a spellbinder. Jul 16, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/13/23 Full Review Audience Member The greatest 01 hour: and 23 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review cees t Trippy dream of a dark cartoon with a silver lining. 6.4/10 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A superb and clever piece of animation. "Do what you're wound up to do, not what you want to do." Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member An animation that's often weird and occasionally dark but ultimately insubstantial. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow, that was dark. I've seen a lot of disturbing things in movies but this is the first time I've ever watched a film where a child gets bludgeoned to death. I doubt a movie with a scene like that will ever be rated G again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
