Animated movie where a mouse’s children die

A short animation

An Aesop’s Film Fables cartoon.

An animated version of the Aesop fable.

The story begins romantically, continues as a farce, turning into a thriller, but ends up as a high tragedy.

Tormented pencil-drawn creatures and shapes try to escape their canvas.

A mouse finds herself in an empty living room, recounting past memories of a childhood friend.

This film is about the everyday feats of a little creature and its unbendable will to live.

In this children’s film, a white mouse cavorts about the forest, mostly on the back of a bumbling black bear, creating such a stir that other forest creatures (a deer, a tortoise, a hawk and a hound) have to put a stop to it. Animals speak with human voices and “act” out their parts.
