Pick, the Baby Mouse

About This Movie

So, 'Pick, the Baby Mouse' is this quirky little gem from 1978, tucked away in the animation corner. It’s got this unique vibe, with a hand-drawn style that really captures the innocence of childhood, which fits the story perfectly. The pacing is a bit meandering, but that adds to its charm, allowing you to really soak in the atmosphere of this tiny mouse’s world. The themes of sensitivity and the struggle for identity are woven in a way that feels almost nostalgic. It’s interesting how it plays with the idea of vulnerability and how even the smallest beings can feel so deeply. There’s an endearing quality to it, making it stand out in a sea of more mainstream animation from that era.

This film has had a limited presence in the collector's market, with few formats released over the years, making it somewhat elusive. Original VHS tapes and early DVD releases are particularly sought after due to their rarity. While not widely recognized, there's a niche interest among collectors who appreciate its unique animation style and thematic depth, often leading to discussions in dedicated forums about its place within the animation genre.
