Fourteen Rats & a Rat-Catcher

About This Movie

Fourteen Rats & a Rat-Catcher is this quirky animation from '82 that really plays with the whole idea of perception. You’ve got this old woman—she could be charming or a bit sinister, depending on how you look at it—who calls in a rat-catcher, and it’s not just about the rats; it’s about family dynamics too, you know? The pacing has this kind of whimsical rhythm that keeps you engaged, and the practical effects give it a sort of handmade vibe that’s refreshing. The way the characters are drawn, it feels like they have their own little stories, even the rats. It’s not your standard fare; it dives into themes of coexistence and judgment in a surprisingly light-hearted way. Definitely one to ponder over.
