A Rat's Tale

About This Movie

A Rat's Tale is this whimsical adventure that brings a unique charm to the animated landscape of the late 90s. You’ve got Monty, this endearing little rat, navigating a rat underground in Manhattan – which is a pretty cool backdrop, really. The film’s pacing keeps things lively, with just the right amount of comedic mischief as Monty and his pals journey to save their world from an exterminator’s lethal scheme. There's a certain homemade quality in the practical effects that adds to its charm, and the voice performances do a solid job in bringing the characters to life. It's not something everyone knows about, but that gives it a certain hidden gem feel, if you ask me.

A Rat's Tale has seen limited releases, making any original media quite scarce, especially for collectors. The film never gained widespread acclaim, which has contributed to its lower profile in the secondary market. Still, there’s a niche interest in the film’s quirky storytelling and unique animation style, making it a curious piece for those who enjoy exploring lesser-known animated features from the 90s.
