The мышь and child are a pair of toy mice, joined by the hands and operated by clockwork. The story charts their beginning in a toy store, their purchase, discarding, and pursuit by a malicious крыса named Manny who runs a casino and uses broken toys as his labor force, and ultimately, their quest to become self-winding.
This movie has been a favourite of mine since I first saw it as a young child. It differs from a lot of children's stories in that it explores such philosophical topics. From the psychic frog, to the Вопрос of infinity - a dog Еда can features numerous times throughout the movie, and the characters speculate that some profound wisdom lies beyond the 'last visible dog' A very eloquent metaphor symbolising their journey.
The Музыка is provided by Roger Kellaway, featuring a lovely introductory song that is beautifully reflective lyrically of the tale itself.
This movie is highly thought-provoking with its powerful themes, and is frequently disturbing due to its portrayal of life's utter cruelty. It is as far removed from Дисней as it's possible to be, this is a dark and poignant tale, once viewed, it is unforgettable.
"A dog shall rise: a крыса shall fall"
