Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe mousetraps scene was done without any digital effect whatsoever. Over 800 mousetraps were set individually and then rigged with wires under the floor. It took several takes, so each trap had to be reset, baited and wired one at a time.
- GoofsIn the scene when Lars is alone inside the factory, you can clearly see an arm behind the big fan pulling the thread from his jacket. You can even see a watch on the arm.
- Quotes
Lars: Well, these are all kittens. We were hoping for an older cat, one with experience.
Maury, the Cat Care Society Owner: That's a switch. Most people like the cute little ones. Experience with what?
Ernie: Mouse-hunting.
Maury, the Cat Care Society Owner: Oh, all cats are good mousers.
Ernie: Yes, but you see, we have huge rats, the size of sumo wrestlers, and lots of 'em, so we really need a ferocious feline, preferably one with a history of mental illness. I'm talkin' one mean pussy.
Lars: Yeah! A vicious cat, difficult to love. You got any of those knocking around your cages?
Maury, the Cat Care Society Owner: Funny you should ask. I had given up hope of anyone wanting him. We were about to gas him again.
