TEHRAN -- “The City of Mice 2” will premiere tomorrow at Iranian theaters to entertain children, and to evoke adults’ sense of nostalgia for the good old days of the 1980s.
“The City of Mice 2” is a sequel to the 1984 big-screen hit “The City of Mice”, which was produced with the puppet characters from the popular children’s TV series “The School of Mice” (1981-1984).
The film, which is expected to breathe life into Iranian children’s cinema, was screened for journalists on Monday morning at the Kurosh Commercial and Cultural Complex, which has recently been established in western Tehran.
Some officials, including Iran Cinema Organization Director Hojjatollah Ayyubi and Farabi Cinema Foundation Director Mohammadreza Jafari-Jelveh, also attended the screening of the big-budget movie, which was directed by Marzieh Borumand.
“The City of Mice 2” immerses the audience in the adventures of little mice who decide to take care of a defenseless kitty, an act which leads to turmoil in the city.
The movie is scheduled to be screened in some countries with Arabic and English subtitles in the near future, co-producer Alireza Sartipi told the Tehran Times.
Sartipi and Manijeh Hekmat produced the film under the auspices of the Farabi Cinema Foundation.
