I think I was about 6 or 7 years old when I saw this movie-- possibly younger. All I can remember was that it was unlike any other animated movie I had ever seen. It was about a small wooden or stone statue of a mouse that had come to life somehow and traveled with a young girl.

Other than that, I can only remember the young girl giving the mouse a piece of sandwich and saying to it "Don't eat too fast, you'll get a stomach ache." There was also a malevolent and wicked looking cat character who was out to kill the mouse I think.

The memory of this movie pops in and out of my mind on occasion. I have no idea what the movie was called or what other details pertained to it. I think it may have been anime.

I'm still looking for it. Perhaps these titles might help spark your memory.

Rock-a-doodle
Redwall
The Secret of NIMH
An American Tail

A few questions if you happen to remember. Was the film entirely animated Or were there some small live action? When the mouse came alive did he/she look like a real mouse or was he/she and animated stone/wooden mouse? Any idea about the time period of the film as in when did you see it (1970s, 80s, 90s?) and do you think it may have been any older than that?

You also might try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_cats or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_mice_and_rats.

It wasn't any of the movies you listed but The Secret of NIMH and Redwall were freaking awesome.

I'm fairly sure it was entirely animated, but not 100%. The mouse was very peculiar looking-- it had a strange tail that fanned out at the end I think. I think it also may have worn a small jacket or vest? It's all hazy. I remember it being very smoothly animated and it mesmerized me a bit because at that age I had never seen anything but rough "Made for TV" or classic type cartoons.

I've been scourging the internet too for clues. This is going to bug me even worse now until I find the answer. I hope somebody knows... I really wish I had made this on the OoT instead.

Edit: I'm a bit high now so I'm remembering stuff. I think the small creature was actually a rabbit, and not a mouse-- or rather, a hybrid of the two.

Well, Noozles wasn't about mice or rabbits... but Koalas.

While they didn't turn to stone or wood, I remember they would "Freeze" when ever anyone saw them and pretend to be stuffed animals.

It does remind me a bit of "The Cat returns" of Studio Ghibli, mind you that would make you only about 12 years so I suppose that's not really it.

But that one does include the statue coming to life, the young girl feeding a cat and saying not to eat too fast and the Cat king out to kill them near the end. (I think, been a while since I saw it)

But since that movie is only 6 years old, it's unlikely.

I was looking at that movie too. It seems close, but it's not the one. I'm going to keep searching today. Hopefully something will turn up. Smiley: frown
