Synopsis

Mostly, we think of the mouse as a pest in the home. This film, however, re-imagines these diminutive creatures as welcome, very orderly guests whose size allows them to get those little chores done for us – like cleaning up crumbs, straightening spice jars and organising pencils. Stunningly animated and wonderfully comical, ‘Perfect Houseguest’ will make you think twice before you shoo a mouse out of the house ever again.
