One Potato Review

A mouse and his wife: helpmates, travel companions and dental collaborators. Whether the appointment is at the back of a fox’s hungry mouth, or in Dabwan, Africa, their enthusiasm for adventure - and for each other - is as easy as it is contagious. Here it’s also the source of unprecedented physical strength, as Doctor De Soto, kidnapped by “a certain rhesus monkey, Honkitonk by name,” forces his way through the bars of a birdcage, tormented by the possibility of never seeing his dear Deborah again. You can’t fake this sort of thing. Directed with Steig’s characteristic warmth, and a dose of irreverence: everyone calls Honkitonk a moron. He is.
