So this movie was on HDNet Movies this morning, and being that I love animation, especially classic hand drawn animation (Don Bluth did this one) I thought I'd watch. It's been a long time since I've seen this one, but I never realized what a violent movie this is - I double checked and it was indeed rated "G".
To sum the story up, it's about a bunch of lab mice and had experiments done on them (shows some of this) and eventually they gain intelligence, break out, form a society, have a coup d'état, fight, back-bite, stab, sword fight, etc, in the process. Wow. This is not your ordinary "Girl eats poison apple" fairy tale to be sure. Hard to believe they gave this one a "G", even in the early '80s.
Has anyone else caught this one?
