The Tale of a Mouse

The Tale of a Mouse is a cancelled Disney animated film and project dating back 70 years. It was a long version of the cartoon The Country Cousin, a Silly Symphony released in 1936. There followed a field mouse came to visit his cousin cities. After Walt's death in 1966 since the film, The Jungle Book, the entertainment branch of Walt Disney Animation Studios, like all other branches of the company, found herself an orphan. The studio had lost its soul and creativity was put over for a while. Not daring (or unwilling) to stray too far from previous productions to the disappearance of Walt, the studios have, for a time, returned or abandoned projects discussed during previous years. The Sorcerer's Apprentice, The Rescuers or even Pete's Dragon were initiated. It was during this troubled period that The Tale of a Mouse was developed. The project was cancelled and shelved due to the resumption of the project film on The Rescuers. Indeed, two films with mouse as hero in a period as close, it would have been inappropriate. In addition, the project in question was less buoyant than The Rescuers, who was shot him a series of bestselling books and more already addressed before Walt's death. Security has prevailed and The Tale of a Mouse was never produced and it is a series of charts that the film pastel artist, Mel Shaw was made.
