65' - 2022 - Animated film - Dialogue: Flemish version
Yuku, a little mouse, sings and plays his way from song to song in this vibrant adventure full of surprising encounters and catchy music.
Yuku, a cheerful little mouse, lives with her family in the basement of a castle – where the hungry cat is always lurking around the corner. As the eldest child, Yuku has to guard the food supply, but she would much rather listen to her grandmother, a master storyteller, to one day become a great storyteller herself. As the end of grandma's life approaches, it's time for Yuku's own story: the search for the Himalayan flower. Using her ukulele as a weapon, Yuku sets off on a musical journey where she meets a large rat, a crow, a rabbit, a squirrel and a fox, among others. Filled with catchy rhymes and charming, colourful characters, the first feature by Belgian Arnaud Demuynck (together with Rémi Durin) is an adventurous ode to how stories forever connect us.
"A story of friendship which proves enchanting on more than one level. There's plenty of good feeling, obstacles are overcome, life is tackled head-on, and complexes are chased away, making Yuku an inspiring heroine who (en)chants the lives of her young viewers." – Cineuropa
