What happens

老鼠嫁女是中国大陆上海美术电影制片厂于1983年摄制的剪纸卡通片,该片根据中国民间传说老鼠嫁女的故事改编而成。影片风格诙谐幽默,借鼠拟人,讽刺了社会上的一些丑恶的现象。 老鼠一家常年住在阴暗的墙洞里,过着贫穷的日子,为了摆脱这种生活,年迈的父母夫妇贴出告示为女儿选择一个有权有势的女婿。一只小灰老鼠前来提亲,老鼠父母看到小灰鼠落魄的样子将其轰出门外,并提出要一系列条件。小灰鼠为了娶到老鼠夫妇漂亮的女儿,决定改变现状。它跑去偷取鸡蛋、香油、等食物做聘礼,并跳进面缸,将自己打扮成洁白无瑕的样子。小灰鼠满足了老鼠夫妇大部分要求,如愿以偿的娶到了老鼠夫妇的女儿,但不一會兒老鼠夫妇另加蛋糕作為條件,小灰鼠在偷取蛋糕时落入了捕鼠的笼子。在小灰鼠落入笼子后老鼠夫妇一家并不为小灰鼠的遭遇而难过,而是继续贴出招女婿的告示,为女儿选择佳婿。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
