I was overwhelmed with excitement and amazement, not only at how I could have been completely unaware that such a fantastic movie had been made. It's charming, childlike - but not childish, funny, clever, imaginative and at times quite dark. The little mouse’s journey is punctuated with various emotional stop-overs and had me feeling like on a rollercoaster. And even the obligatory moral, so typical in stories for kids, rang true and was delivered in a perfectly edible way. IN A NUTSHELL: An ordinary mouse takes you to heaven. (2023.04.14)

I don’t like this kind of animation, I find it creepy and not very nice. The story is interesting, but I don’t think kids will understand it, and for adults it’s mediocre. It is world class, no doubt about it, Wes Anderson used recently a similarly ugly style of animation. The best thing was the music. (2023.04.08)

Even Mice Belong in Heaven will appeal to both children and adults: young audiences will appreciate the unusual animation and funny characters, while the older ones will also enjoy a lot of life wisdom and a mature story. The film may be a bit simplistic and childish in places – it is a family flick after all – but on the other hand it doesn't lack depth or the element of surprise, and it also manages to convey the theme of death in a way that isn't cheesy or kitschy. I'm glad I didn't read the synopsis before the screening, I was all the more surprised afterwards.. PS: the "bathhouse" and the "water purifier" scenes reminded me fleetingly of Spirited Away.
