Ep 8. Cinematic Mice

Monique Mouse and her friend Renee Lumiere have a big surprise. Renee's uncles, Auguste and Louis Lumiere have just invented the first camera that takes moving pictures and the mice have been invited for the world premiere! Madame Hainaut has loaned them her theatre, but someone does not want the Lumiere's to present their invention. A candle is left burning under a rope which causes a sandbag to fall and nearly destroy the camera. That night, as their moving picture of a train hurtles toward the crowd, a strange man causes a stampede by assuring the audience the train is headed right for them! When everyone returns to the theatre the man and the camera are gone! Our mice find the missing camera and discover the "man" is none other than Madame Hainaut herself. She was worried that moving pictures would bring an end to live theater!
