The poetic masturbators here will wring their hands about what a great point Wes Anderson delivered, but the truth is that there is no point and this is just another oddity, made slightly better through the fine character of Ralph Fiennes, but otherwise it's the same crap as Poison designed for the wannabe literary enlightened who like philosophical chatter about nothing.

The Ratcatcher is probably the crudest piece of work in Wes Anderson's Dahl shorts, thanks to both Ralph Fiennes's make-up and the stop motion animation with the rat (which in the end appears in the film). Besides mice (The Witches), Roald Dahl apparently had a thing for their bigger relatives. ()
