The Rat King's Wife

The Rat King's Wife

Project Overview

         This is a passion project that is inspired of the old Disney classic films like "The great mouse Detective" and Don Bluth's "The secret of NIMH". I am the 3d artist and writer of the project. This is a small idea that I've wanted to put out for a long time, and now I think I have a chance to really make it happen. The whole project will be about half an hour in length.

         The story takes place in Scotland from the perspective of the rats. The old King and his father before him, gave Meier an obligation to continue his work and free all of rat kind from the foot of humankind after he would die. Being the only surviving member of his family, Meier was a lonely king. One day he was given a chance to save a lowly mouse from being eaten, and fell in love with her. After seeing how broken he really was, she helped him break threw his loneliness, and helped him to mature to a good king. Soon after getting married, they heard word that the humans were going to war, and that the lands they were living in would be destroyed. King Meier remembered his father's plan and worked to gather every tribe together to be transported out of the land. After much opposition, they get to the device in time to realize that the power that Meier once had, was needed to power everything. Knowing that her time has come, Meier's wife Anna Sacrifices herself to save everyone else. King Meier tries to stop her to keep her with him, but she shows him that he isn't alone anymore. Memories surround them as King Meier and Anna share one last moment together. She disappears, saving all of rat kind, leaving Meier a choice to continue.

Latest Updates

  • Voice talents update.

    Most of the main VAs have been chosen for the project, but there will be some minor roles that might be paid that I will add soon. I am into story boarding right now with one of my buddies, and should have a pre-vis of the movie hopefully by July. I am also looking for one or two background artists to assist in the production of the film. I have a listing up for that if you want more details. In any case, things are on the move. I will keep updating here as things progress. Thanks again for all your good wishes and support. -Nathan J.

I am looking for someone who has a love for painting landscapes. Most of the landscapes I have in mind are more natural yet damaged forests and fields that the humans of medieval times have used for their wars. The way I aim to animate this movie is pretty simple, all things considered; I will be using painted backgrounds for most of the movie to cut down on complexity when animating, while also gaining a more "storybook" feel. If you are interested in the project or want more details, you can DM me, or email me directly at [redacted]

  • “You are a spy! Why have you been sent? What is it that you know?” Asked one guard aggressively.

  • “You? A king?! Hah! You are a fool; our king has already returned!” The arrogant guard teased.

  • “Oh! So now it is not enough that you work us to exhaustion for you, now we must also collect deep into the winter days just to meet our needs?! It's a right bawbag!” The rat expressed angrily.

Role assigned to: Rhiannon Moushall

Kael is a very aggressive and cunning ferret. She has a strong yet sharp voice that can be heard for miles. She is the leader of Fingal, a group of ferrets, weasels, and rats who found themselves alike being of one color. Albino. Being the leader, she is the strongest of them, always thirsting for more power to compensate the prejudice against her color. Her only goal is to show that nature has no hold on her, and to show that she knows no bounds.

  • “Mm. Too bad." She mocked, "I never much cared for swords anyway.” She continued as she attacked.

  • “Well, it is a start." She said with a tone of disappointment. "Keep going dearie. Show me what you are.” She continued with a power hungry tone.

  • “Come on honey, you have more fight than that! Just think, if you beat me you’ll be the hero and save your little girlfriend! (Gasp!)” She mocked again, catching herself on the last word. She saw Meier react to this. “Oh… Did they not know about this?” She continued with a smile.

Dotty is the chef for King Meier, and a family friend. She was the guardian of Meier while he was growing up, and the servant to his father, King Malcolm. She is a strong independent marmet that knows how to push Meier's buttons, while still taking care of him. She sometimes feels that she doesn't really belong in Rokfel (The land of the Rats), but never shows it outwardly. Dotty acts motherly to the people, cooking for them and taking care of the young ones where she can, including Meier himself.

  • “Mm. Well, it’s best we do as he says. Knowing how his father taught him, he’s probably right. To the north gate then.”

Anna is a small mouse from Millvale, a small village located in the mountains of Fallen Peak wetlands. Since it is a small village, there isn't much for entertainment, so Anna finds joy in singing as she works. One day her village was attacked by an unknown enemy, and she finds her courage and resolves to travel to the land of Rokfel, the land of the rats to find the good king to help her defend her home. Anna is soft spoken, and gentle, yet playful. She finds enjoyment in singing and finds that it can help calm her when she is distressed.

  • “Oh, no. She is by far the better cook. But she does have some great ideas.” Anna says playfully.

  • “I have seen that dream as well!” Anna whispered excitedly, not able to use her voice. “The world I saw was green and alive!”

  • “P-please, I mean no harm…I-” Anna pleads with distress.

  • “Anna?” I said softly. “What a beautiful name.”

  • "Whatever it is I can repay it. I am the strongest in my clan you know this!"

  • The sound of silence from this specific place caught my attention. I thought I feel myself being pulled closer to it. As I peeked past my cape, I could see the dark secret of bones and Death hiding there. The secret of ravaged animals, hungry and weak. An ally of Death. The weight of what had happened here, had not yet fallen on my back, so I continued forward. I could only shutter from the unexplainable feeling of dread.
