Written, directed, and produced by Nathan Russell-Raby, with animation by Franjo Setrov, The Mouse Who Stole My Show is a lovingly crafted short film that revisits the golden age of silent animation. The film explores the seismic cultural shift that occurred when synchronized sound forever changed the landscape of animation, paying homage to the icons of the era while weaving a tale that’s equal parts tribute and reimagination.

Drawing inspiration from the historical rivalry between the silent-era superstar Felix the Cat and the sound-synced arrival of Steamboat Willie, the film dives into the thematic heart of the transition from silent cartoons to the age of "Talkies." It artfully balances nostalgia with sharp commentary, capturing the bittersweet moment when one chapter of animation closed to make way for another.

By blending meticulous hand-drawn animation and era-accurate storytelling with a playful, satirical edge, The Mouse Who Stole My Show offers a unique perspective on Hollywood’s most transformative period. It’s both a celebration of animation history and a cheeky nod to the rivalries that defined its evolution.
