This is the fanpage for the movie, The Legend of Manxmouse or Tondemo Nezumi Daikatsuyaku (in Japanese)! It's one of my favorite movies and I want to share it with you!

 

Themesong lyrics

He came to life one day (he came to life one day)
From a pair of handy hands (pair of handy hands)
He left to see the world not knowing of the legend he should be
 
He travelled through the land (he travelled)
And quickly learned his fate from tigers, ghosts, and girls
And he knew deep down the legend would be changed
 
But the manxcats waited many a day for the mouse to appear
And though they looked just alike in many a way, mister mouse should be in fear
'Cause this is a legend waiting to happen, it had finally come the time for the manxmouse to live again
And the legend to find an end
 
(instrumental break)
 
The manxmouse had the longest of ear, and I almost forgot
His feet made it look like a rabbit at times, but of course he was not
He was a legend waiting to happen, it had finally come the time for the manxmouse to live again
And the legend to find an end
