positive · AI labelView post →Watching Mousehunt. A movie I loved as a child. Nathan Lane and Lee Evans are great in this. They’ve a real Abbott and Costello energy
positive · AI labelView post →on the other hand, they revealed that they only know of the legend Nathan Lane through the film Mousehunt, so it's kind of a self-own if you think about it
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight’s movie! Mousehunt (1997) So great to revisit this on Blu-ray! A birthday gift from my sister. Gore Verbinski knocks it out of the park with this hilarious gothic comedy. A great companion piece to the 90s Addams Family films. #goreverbinski #nathanlane #Leevans #adamrifkin #filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →Random question OP, but have you ever seen the 1997 movie Mousehunt?
neutral · AI labelView post →At this point every time I read another story about the administration I get the urge to watch Mousehunt's auction scene. Watching idiots trying to stave off the consequences of crises they've created just long enough to get rich really captures the national moment. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-Go...

Amazing. Is there a live action film that's more of a cartoon than this? Fun watchalong too with a good variety of experience.

positive · AI labelView post →Why is MouseHunt shot and scored so goddamn well? Verbinski was like what if Tom and Jerry looked like a Caro/Jeunet film?
positive · AI labelView post →This is a Mouse Hunt appreciation post. Nathan Lane and Lee Evans put on a great feat of physical comedy in this movie. I may be biased because I was 11 when it came out but it still holds up. Plus it’s one I’ve endeared to my son and we still watch it together. #90smovies #mousehunt #moviesky

neutral · AI labelView post →age yourself with a movie you saw in the theater as a kid I also saw Pokemon the 1st movie and Toy Story 1 in movies but nobody talks about MouseHunt so!
neutral · AI labelView post →Mousehunt is an underrated masterpiece! * Genuinely hilarious (Home Alone wishes it was this funny!) holiday-set film. The humor has an escalating, almost adult edge to it. It's not just goofy, it's smart (with feels). Stylish look & production design adds a timeless air. *unbiased mouse opinion
positive · AI labelView post →Family film for Sunday afternoon. Gone with MOUSEHUNT. I think it's supposed to be good fun.
neutral · AI labelView post →Do you mean “Mousehunt?” I’m not being pedantic. If there’s another movie with a rascally mouse I gotta see it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh my god, thanks! I searched for "Mouse Hunt" instead of "MouseHunt" and completely ignored the cartoony image thinking it was a different movie! Weekend saved!

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Kino's new MOUSEHUNT 4k, which is absolutely gorgeous. Gore Verbinski is so wildly underappreciated. I'd love for any movie to look this good in 2025, let alone a family film that's just having fun.
positive · AI labelView post →This is like my take that you could replace the mouse in Mousehunt with a borrower/micro, and basically nothing about the film would change. He literally sleeps in a matchbox bed at one point even!
neutral · AI labelView post →It is sad when the last movie i saw of him was a Home alone knock off, the mc being a dog (with wacky inner monologue) and Sorbo has his name on the poster because he's the only recognizable actor they got. I swear his appearance is basically Christopher Walken in Mousehunt
neutral · AI labelView post →I love Mousehunt. Almost the perfect film except -- and I know this is a problematic take -- I find it too distressing seeing William Hickey at the beginning. Such a well known actor, so him clearly ailing (and knowing it's his last film) made his character's death tonally so wrong in a comedy.
neutral · AI labelView post →The mouse in MouseHunt (1997) has gotta be one of my favorite movie characters, love this little guy
positive · AI labelView post →I’m so glad to see someone else talking about Mousehunt. I grew up watching this movie, it’s so fucking good. I really need to rewatch it again someday
positive · AI labelView post →OK I must admit Seinfeld's weird breakfast cereal propaganda movie is actually making me laugh. It's got a goofy tone similar to MOUSEHUNT.

neutral · AI labelView post →Mousehunt (1997) A kid's movie that really should have been rated PG-13 When two guys inherit a house from their recently deceased father, they discover it's a valuable collector's item The only problem: It's home to a super intelligent mouse they'll spend the entire film trying to kill
neutral · AI labelView post →I re-watched MouseHunt for the first time in like 15 years this weekend. Timon and his brother (not Pumba) fight a literally-immortal and ageless mouse so he can renovate his house. Both positive and negative, they don't make movies like this anymore. It's a profoundly 90s style of family movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →The greatest demolition company in the world is Isreal. To catch a mouse that is armed with a machine gun it will demolish the whole house, if that doesn't work it demolishes the whole block. Any one ever watch the film Mousehunt? Isreal bombs to destroy habitat not military targets.
neutral · AI labelView post →I can't think of a movie that pissed me off, but I probably pissed my older brother off when I wanted to leave Mousehunt (I think?) early as a kid. Once the house blew up, I wanted out. My Aunt had us both leave after I started crying, and to this day I don't know how the movie ends.
negative · AI labelView post →The lesson here is don't mess with the mouse. Things don't work out well for Caeser, the Exterminator (Christopher Walken). You'll have to watch the movie Mousehunt (1997) to see what happens.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Mousehunt. Used to really like this movie when I was younger, so I wanted to give it another watch. Some of the practical effect work holds up surprisingly well. The overall plot and character were pretty good still too. It's a fun watch, I can recommend it.
positive · AI labelView post →The Tale of Despereaux (2008) - 8/10. This movie reminds of Stuart Little and Mousehunt to me.
neutral · AI labelView post →The opening part of The Mouse Hunt is indeed funny—especially the bit where the protagonist’s dad falls into the sewer. After the mouse shows up, the suffering goes on forever, so I skipped most of the scenes where the mouse fights back because they were kind of boring. Honestly, even though the mouse defeats different opponents in different ways, the theme is always the same: the mouse is so powerful that everyone gets humiliated. Even heroes as strong as Spider‑Man or Jackie Chan in Jackie…
neutral · AI labelView post →#NW: Man V Baby. I didn't really care for Man V Bee. Four and half hours seems a tad excessive for a concept that would struggle to last for a 90min movie. And where that ripped off Mousehunt, this seems to be going for Baby's Day Out. With added creepy CGI baby features.
neutral · AI labelView post →MOUSEHUNT (1997) is a christmas movie
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m beginning to better understand the movie Mousehunt. There is a mouse in my house that isn't letting it be catched so easily. Every day something new happens. Last night it popped under my bedroom door and it kept me up till 4 o’clock. Scratching things.
