Cirkeline: Storbyens mus

Cirkeline, a little paper-cut elf, is the star in this enchanting movie for smaller children--co-starring alongside several mice with Frederik and Ingolf as her room-mates. Originally, Cirkeline an her pals were starring in small ten-minute films produced for Danish Radio's Children's television. Known to almost all Danes over 3, Cirkeline is common knowledge and represents very much the nation's attitude towards children. The movie contains hardly any adults (mice etc.) Cirkeline and her pals move freely around the city (Denmark's capital Copenhagen), meeting other children (mice) and adults (the dove, a father, a big, bad rat) and thus getting accustomed to life in a new place.

Friendship keeps them together, and as friends they master almost every situation.

Absolutely harmless even for timid children the movie still keeps up enough tension to be one my daughter's favorite movies.
