Even Mice Belong in Heaven is a visually delightful stop-motion animation which will delight audiences with its charm and beautiful story of hope and courage. Following an accident, little mouse Whizzy and the fox Whitebelly meet up in animal paradise. In this new world, they must relinquish their old animal instincts and follow a path to a new life. Having lost their natural instincts, they subsequently become best friends and overcome what would normally be hailed as impossible. (Signature Entertainment)

Even Mice Belong in Heaven will appeal to both children and adults: young audiences will appreciate the unusual animation and funny characters, while the older ones will also enjoy a lot of life wisdom and a mature story. The film may be a bit simplistic and childish in places – it is a family flick after all – but on the other hand it doesn't lack depth or the element of surprise, and it also manages to convey the theme of death in a way that isn't cheesy or kitschy. I'm glad I didn't read the synopsis before the screening, I was all the more surprised afterwards.. PS: the "bathhouse" and the "water purifier" scenes reminded me fleetingly of Spirited Away.

I was overwhelmed with excitement and amazement, not only at how I could have been completely unaware that such a fantastic movie had been made. It's charming, childlike - but not childish, funny, clever, imaginative and at times quite dark. The little mouse’s journey is punctuated with various emotional stop-overs and had me feeling like on a rollercoaster. And even the obligatory moral, so typical in stories for kids, rang true and was delivered in a perfectly edible way. IN A NUTSHELL: An ordinary mouse takes you to heaven.

I don’t like this kind of animation, I find it creepy and not very nice. The story is interesting, but I don’t think kids will understand it, and for adults it’s mediocre. It is world class, no doubt about it, Wes Anderson used recently a similarly ugly style of animation. The best thing was the music.
