Synopsis

A white mouse causes chaos in a forest, riding on a bumbling black bear while other animals, including a deer and a hawk, attempt to restore order.

Synopsis

In this children's film, a white mouse cavorts about the forest, mostly on the back of a bumbling black bear, creating such a stir that other forest creatures (a deer, a tortoise, a hawk and a hound) have to put a stop to it. Animals speak with human voices and "act" out their parts.
