Recommended for age 4 and older. Using an ingenious combination of puppet animation and live-action, Beverly Cleary's classic The Mouse and the Motorcycle has been brought to life in rousing style. When a boy brings his toy motorcycle on vacation, the mouse finds it. Zooming all over a summer hotel the mouse creates great mischief and makes grown-up people wonder if they are seeing things. Live-action directed by Ron Underwood. Animation directed by Jon Matthews. (1987, 42 mins). Preceded by other tales about clever mice: Anatole, a French mouse who is an expert cheese taster and Doctor De Soto, a tiny dentist who dares to treat a fox. Also: Steamboat Willie.
