Egérút

About This Movie

Egérút is this quirky little gem from '99 that dives into the life of a circus mouse who's had it with the whole showbiz routine. The animation style has this charming roughness to it that really adds to the bohemian vibe, making the circus world feel both magical and a bit disheveled. The pacing is interesting, not rushed, allowing you to soak in the mouse's escapades as he uses a nail file to break free from his cage. It’s about self-discovery and breaking away from expectations, which resonates surprisingly well. The performances—though animated—carry an emotional weight that makes you root for this little guy. There's something quite freeing about his journey that lingers after the credits roll. Definitely worth having in your collection if you're into unique storytelling.
