    don't particularly like this

    Buster and Chauncey are mice entertainers heading for the town of Oberndorf, Austria to perform for the Queen during its annual Christmas pageant. A nasty cat has driven away all the mice. Meanwhile, little orphan Christina finds sanctuary in the local church which houses valuable treasures that are the targets for two well-dressed thieves.

    The animation style looks better for animals than humans. Quite frankly, I like the animals story more than the humans story. This is inspired by the song and the two men who created it in 1818. The song is performed at the end. I hoped to have the two mice actually perform for the Queen. It's the starting premise of the movie and I feel cheated that the mice didn't sing the song. I don't particularly like the animation or the story but it's not the worst of the season.

    • Goofs
      After the thieves capture Christina, they gag her with a cloth tied over her mouth and around the hood of her cloak. When Christina is tossed into the back of the thieves' wagon, her gag is no longer tied around hood, which now lays down around the girl's shoulders.

      Christina: They don't need me to be an angel. I don't deserve to be here.
