The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse
19805 min 25 secFilm: Animation, Children's film
Direction: Evelyn Lambart
Production: Kathleen Shannon
Evelyn Lambart's well-known style of animation, using paper figures and brightly coloured backgrounds, is once again in evidence in this short film based upon an Aesop fable. This simple story tells the tale of two mice with different lifestyles, and suggests that it is far better to live simply and in peace than to live in luxury amidst danger. Film without words.
