Hi all

Here is a sure fire way to have a successful Australian film a la Babe.

Here in Australia we have just deregulated our electricity market for residential customers. One company, AGL, has started advertising in Victoria (I think it is an interstate company). The advertisments feature the absolutely cutest mouse ever. This mouse has personality and puts Stewart Little to shame. She has a european accents and delights in saying 'darlinks'. She also stresses the benefits of 'comfooooort darlinks, comfoooort'.

To get an idea of what the mouse is like think Zsa Zsa Gabor meets cute rodent.

If this isn't a bankable character for a new children's movie I don't know what is.

cheers Peter

She looks a little like "Mrs. Stout", the CGI mother mouse in "Stuart Little":
