Weird and very disturbing if you think about it, but still a lovely short film

This short animated film is part of "Spike and Mike's Cutting Edge Classics"--a DVD filled with an hour and a half of very short animated films. Most of them are pretty good and the DVD is much better than the other Spike and Mike one I saw a few months back.

This film and KATTEN MONS (also by the same director) are included in the set. While I liked the art of KATTEN MONS, this short is even better--though the story might just creep you out if you think about it! That's because the claymation work is even better and really catches your attention.

A man moves into a house that's been empty for many years. There is a huge rat inside and the man tries a variety of ways to kill the pest, though the rat very oddly thinks the man is in love with it! This leads to a very, very creepy ending that is both sweet and nauseating if you think about it too much, as the rat and man marry and live happily ever after!!!

A genuine tale from the heart.

An unusual storyline involving a man and a rat. Extremely well narrated and nicely claymated, a man and a rat get into a conflict when they both live in the same house. A fun short film with an unexpected twist. Listen to the things the narrator says - THIS is how to write great lines, honest and from the heart.
