Sinossi

Nel mezzo di un negozio di giocattoli c’è un vecchio pianoforte a coda. Nascosto in una delle gambe del pianoforte vive il topolino Tiny con la sua famiglia. Tiny sogna di essere un ballerino, ma suo padre, deluso, vorrebbe che lui seguisse le sue orme diventando un pugile. Un giorno, quando papà Mouse esce di casa, un enorme, grasso gatto si getta su di lui. Tiny e sua madre sono terrorizzati, ma non c'è tempo da perdere! Di fronte a questo terribile pericolo, sarà la potenza della boxe o l’arte della danza a rivelarsi più efficace?
