A bumbling detective who is afraid of mice is assigned to a case where a string of jewel heists are being committed by a gang of highly intelligent, organized mice. He must overcome his phobia to catch the tiny culprits.

Critical Reception

The Mouse Police received a mixed-to-negative reception from critics and audiences alike. While some praised its unique premise and the voice performances, many found the humor to be juvenile and the plot predictable.

What Reviewers Say

  • The film's core concept of mice as jewel thieves is undeniably creative, but the execution falls short.

  • Michael J. Fox's comedic timing is present, but often undermined by a weak script.

  • The animation and voice acting are generally well-received, though not enough to salvage the film.

Google audience: Audiences found the premise amusing and the voice work for the mice to be a highlight. However, many felt the plot was too simplistic and the humor didn't always land for older viewers.

Fun Fact

The original script for 'The Mouse Police' was intended to be a live-action film with animatronic mice, but budget constraints and advancements in CGI led to the decision to make it a fully animated feature.
