I mysi patrí do nebe

Sweet and deep tale to be enjoyed by children and adults alike. A brave movie about death, friendship, courage and the relativity of life, presented in a miraculous world that shows a high level of craftsmanship and talent.

A truly enjoyable and charming family film about an unusual friendship. Almost ( but not quite) as good as the classic stop-motion film "The fool of the world and the flying ship". The characterisation could have been improved a little, but the need to keep the timing down to something reasonable for the younger viewers is probably a reasonable excuse. Definitely one I would have watched with my Kidlings when they were younger. Some flaws but overall the feel-good conclusion allows me to give 8/10.

Like I said in the title of this review, I find. "Even Mice Belong in Heaven" to be a rather pleasant motion picture not only for children but for adults as well. This animated feature from the Czech Republic can be considered "The Defiant Ones" meet "Defending Your Life" meets "Here Comes Mr. Jordan" meets "Freaky Friday." I feel that it is more than just a movie. It is also a spiritual experience. It demonstrates the cycle of life, death, and rebirth quite beautifully as a mouse and a fox both experience the afterlife firsthand together. I am glad to give this film a perfect ten, and I recommend that you go see it.

But then drifted off into cliche. Bullying friends, abusive dad, overblown character traits.

The animation, the set up, the look was all good, but it delivered a simplified one dimensonal story we've seen many times before.

A pleasant little film I got to watch recently through a festival screening. Its by no means amazing but I did appreciate its charm and its ability to be a film for young people with the underlying philosophical aspects of life, death, self worth and morality. How two people pitted to be mortal enemies can find resolve through their differences, while also turning the cat and mouse game on its head by inverting the roles.
