CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Ernie (Nathan Lane) sets hundreds of mousetraps but the mouse defeats them all.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Gore Verbinski, the TV-commercials director responsible for the Budweiser frogs, directed this Adam Rifkin screenplay about two brothers (Nathan Lane and Lee Evans) who inherit a string factory and a decaying country home after the death of their father (the late William Hickey, in his last role). After moving in, they learn that the house has historical architectural importance and is valued in the millions. However, they are constantly tormented by a mouse within the walls. They engage in cartoon-like combat against the rodent, but it manages to outwit the brothers in successive situations. Both live and animatronic mice portray the title role, and some scenes assume the mouse's point of view. The film is dedicated to William Hickey.

A comedic triumph of a film. Gore Verbinski is such an underrated director and his talent was 110% clear from the very beginning, but the world just continued to shrug him off. The man's a beast.

[@2frey84]

Don’t understand why some didn’t enjoy this film, it’s a classic, with such brilliant actors

[@101Volts]

I saw this film when it was new, I was a 6 year old. The mayor dying from eating a cockroach's head made me feel bad, let's put it simply. The part with the tub flying out the door was OK, but didn't the mouse bite the exterminator's testes? Not that I understood that then, but it's easy enough to see *why* a few people might want to not watch it.

[@dolphinsatsunset1]

I'm pretty sure, the mouse is animated because it doesn't even look real. It still looks cute though.

[@natalelenrok9091]

I saw an extra in the special features for this film, The used a trained mouse, but I think some parts they must of used special effects

[@dolphinsatsunset1]

You were right. In fact I copied an article which I will paste below if you have an interest in reading it. It's very interesting. MOUSE HUNT The Mouse Starring in the title role of "Mouse Hunt" is... the mouse. It is actually an ensemble performance delivered by a combination of real mice, an animatronic mouse and a computer-generated (CGI) mouse. With the help of veteran animal trainer Boone Narr, director Gore Verbinski decided on an average-looking brownish-gray field mouse, about three inches long and 28 grams in weight. Once they had decided on the type of mouse, Narr and his team began training 60 mice to perform the complex stunts and tricks they would have to perform in the film. Grouped in teams of four or five, the mice had to be taught to do basic running and climbing stunts, as well as more intricate actions, including climbing into a sardine can bed beneath a tissue paper comforter. "We had jumpers, we had climbers, we had retrievers...," Narr offers. "Mice are very intelligent. There are scenes where they come out and grab an olive and take off with it, or retrieve a Cheerio, or jump from one object to another... multiple things in one take with no cuts. Most people think mice can't do that, but they can." The mice became so beloved that many of the "Mouse Hunt" cast and crew adopted them after shooting was completed. "The whole fun of the movie is that you believe that this is a real mouse doing the things that a real mouse does," says Cohen. "But there are moments in the film where the mouse is called upon to perform things that a real mouse can't actually do or do safely, so we used the animatronic mouse or the computer-generated mouse as the 'stunt mouse.'" The visual effects team from Rhythm & Hues Studios was responsible for overseeing the complex visual mouse effects. According to Rhythm & Hues' visual effects supervisor Charles Gibson, "The goal with 'Mouse Hunt's' visual effects was to make people believe we had the world's most amazing trained mouse, and never a CGI creation." Having collaborated with director Gore Verbinski on the Budweiser "Frogs," Academy Award®­winning special effects wizard Stan Winston and his team were brought in to create an animatronic mouse. The animatronic mouse was mainly employed for close-up work where the camera had to capture facial expressions and movements that would be hard to get from a real mouse.

I really enjoyed this movie as a kid but I soon realize something watching this clip again. Does he really need to be afraid though? I mean if they stayed still, wouldn't it be safer? Mousetraps are designed to close shut in milliseconds so if one flies towards you, its probably already activated and shut tight before it can even reach you. So them panicking and rolling on the traps was completely unnecessary. 😂😂😂

[@jarethcruz2627]

Someone explain to me how this film has low score on rotten tomatoes?

[@basedbattledroid3507]

I'm baffled myself, this film is a classic. I think, if they tried to follow Ebert's main criticism, they would've dummed it down significantly and destroyed probably one of the best aspects of the film; the moral ambiguity of the characters.

[@ds2781]

Because rotten tomatoes sucks . Don't let some idiot armchair critics decide what you should watch based on what they like , watch what you like . There are a lot of really great movies out there that have been passed over because they had poor review scores . Many cult classics had terrible review scores . So just go out and pick a movie to watch , you might find a hidden gem that you would normally have passed over .

[@sachaltanveer2803]

@Ethan Eagle was an excellent film. I read somewhere that the film had low ratings because of the absence of a romantic element. I like to think that's precisely what made the film so amazing. It wasn't like traditional roman War films...

I love this movie Not in every movie story is important but the important is the one that is happening on top of the screen There is nothing special in this movie's story but the detailing is there and the smoothness in this movie makes it best movie Today's movies have only a lot of action sound and dialogues. These days no such movies are made If you are reading a book, then the story is important, but in the case of a movie, what is happening above the screen more than the story is important.
