The film is a parody of several famous feature films, mainly the James Bond series. It tells the story of a special agent who is sent to the city of "Pokyo" to obtain the secret plans of a machine that could save mouse society. Of course, the cats don't want this to happen, and send some rat gangsters to stop special agent, who don't always prove as efficient as they initially seem.[5] The film has developed a cult following in the years since its release.[6][7] A musical based on the film premiered in December 2011.[8]
