This brief film includes one of the catchiest tunes . . .

. . . of Hollywood History--an all-purpose song which is even more relevant Today than 87 years ago, when THE FLYING MOUSE was released. In this Our Modern 21st Century, when every square peg is trying desperately to pound itself into a round whole, the tale of a mouse that tries to fly is super timely. (As the fairy tells him, "Mice are not MEANT to fly!") Immediately shunned by all the birds and his own mouse family, the misguided wing-flapper eventually finds himself in a bat cave. Reacting to this wrong-headed rodent's incongruous bat wings, the ACTUAL vampirish nocturnal fliers launch into a rousing chorus of "You're nothing but a nothing, a nothing, a nothing--you're nothing but a nothing; you're not a thing at all!" If only this was mandatory listening for schools of Today and Tomorrow, there would be absolutely no need to construct expensive lavatories for each and every student!
