When Wizzy discovers that she’s been sent to the same place as the fox she assumes killed her, she is seriously put-out.
A long-horned goat checks her in, assures her that yes, she’s dead and no, that she, the goat isn’t “God.” To prove it, she slips into the abandoned playground and snatches a tuft from fur from a sleeping fox.īut the fox awakens, and despite being cheered on by the animals she’s trying to impress, she finds herself in the foggy white purgatory of heaven. She’d like to be heroic like her mouse-stached father, whose exploits are taught in mouse school. Wizzy the mouse (voiced in the film’s English language version by Simona Berman) is forever proving to her brothers, her friend Mole and others in her world that she’s brave, even though she’s “always afraid, like every other mouse.” The artists’ handiwork shows in every frame. “Mice” is more reminiscent of the European “Peter and the Wolf” stop-motion (models, hand-posed frame by frame) short than the recent classics of the genre, by Aardman (“Wallace & Gromit”) or Laika (“Coraline”).
There’s something mesmerizing about the handcrafted look of stop-motion animation that transfixes children and that adults - some of us, anyway - never grow out of.
