Fuzzy Fractures “The Lion & the Mouse” While Channeling Edward G. Robinson
You probably know the story of The Lion and the Mouse.
One of many stories included in the legendary collection of Aesop’s Fables, a lion threatens a mouse that dares to wake him from sleep. It’s easy to sympathize with the lion, at least initially. Nobody wants to be disturbed from a well-deserved nap.
Anyway, the mouse begs the lion for forgiveness and makes the point that such unworthy prey would bring the lion no honor. Of course, the lion agrees and sets the mouse free.
Later, the lion is netted by hunters. Hearing it roaring, the mouse remembers its what the lion did earlier and frees it by gnawing through the ropes.
We all know the moral to the story – mercy brings its reward and there is no being so small that it cannot help a greater.
But what happens when the one and (thankfully) only Executive Producer Michael Fuzzy Lee attempts to give his own unique interpretation of the story?
Well for one, Fuzzy starts to channel his inner Edward G. Robinson.
The results are…needless to say…mixed.
