Examiner par bob the moo

When a bird egg rolls away from it's nest, it ends up in the house of a mouse. When the egg hatches the mouse looks after the bird, thinking it a kitten. When it grows too big for the house the mouse looks up in a book to find out what type of chicken the bird is. However when he finds it is a hawk that eats mice, trouble begins

Starting with a cute animation that makes it look more like those worthless cartoons that get shown at Christmas time, I was immediately put on the defensive. Usually I like the cartoons that have a sharp, imaginative wit about them and I assumed this wouldn't have that. Happily I was off as the main body of the short is a pretty funny game of cat & mouse (bird & mouse).

The characters aren't great but they are supported by good action - the mouse and the bird didn't really grab me but I was amused enough not to be bothered. The ending is a little pat and lacks humour, although it is quite nice.

Overall this is a funny little short, certainly better than the animation style would suggest.
