The Trumouse Show: A Classical Tragicomedy for the Enjoyment of the Medium Protestant Majority

Well at least we know it's been approved by the EU board of social democratic censors! A lanky mouse heads to work. He's accompanied by the Charleston, is late and thinking of a date. It's the same every day-ja-vu until, well he finds himself in a windswept field of barley looking longingly at a poster of that very mouse he dreams of! Snap out of it, mouse, there's a treadmill to pound. I liked the "Steamboat Willie" (1928) style of animation and the suitably acerbic inter-titles that follow this story of same old, same old - a theme that's becoming quite common in animations that identify the routine nature of modern-day living as well as our fascination with the unattainable. The monochrome gives it an extra shot of class and the absurdly long, but perfectly adaptable, title does rather sum up the lowest common denominator attitudes and aspirations at which it's poking fun.
