  • "The marzipan pig eaten by a mouse starts a chain of events involving the feelings of the mouse, a clock, an owl, a bee, a hibiscus flower, and finally another mouse who in her turn eats another marzipan pig. This movie is based on the book by Russell Hoban, and animated with the sprightly touch of Academy Award nominee Michael Sporn. The cast of characters reminds us all living things are inter-related and have their own little niche in the cycle of life."

  • "Summary: After accidentally falling behind a sofa, a marzipan pig lies there forgotten until it is discovered and eaten by a mouse. From here its unrequited yearning for love is transferred from one creature to another, with all of them experiencing feelings entirely new to them as the marzipan spreads it sweetness, sometimes directly and sometimes more obliquely. In the process the story tells of the decidedly unusual relationships that develop between the mouse and a clock, an owl and a taxi meter, and a bee and a hibiscus flower, ending with yet another mouse coming across and eating a newly delivered marzipan pig. Though based on a children's book by Russell Hoban, this animated film's philosophic overtones and subtle sophistication make it more suitable for screening to older viewers. It is narrated by actor Tim Curry."
