Reviews
Entertaining
If you're a film character, be careful what you wish for. You will always regret it.
The mouse wants to fly. He eventually gets wings. Everybody thinks he's a freak. He changes his mind. Lives happily ever after.
The best part of this cartoon is in the middle, where he fashions some wings out of leaves. That's some fun cartoon entertainment. The bit with the real wings is less fun. I would have preferred more comic attempts at flight and never getting the real wings. It's still fun enough to watch.
