Only a little mouse can help,him, so the lion must indulge the mouse's greedy,pride and lust for power. the mouse believes a,lion's physique is all he needs to be king of the,jungle, but finds it tough with only a squeak., In this charmingly subversive reinterpretation of a classic tale, the Morrisons and Pascal Lemaitre take a hilarious look at bullying.The cocky lion, the self-proclaimed "baddest in the land," believes himself invincible until he gets a thorn stuck in his paw. Only a weak little mouse can help him, but then the lion must indulge the mouse's ridiculous pride and appetite for power.We, the creators ofWho's Got Game?,were inspired by the wonder of Aesop's Fables -- their vitality, their endless demand for new interpretations. In our versions the original stories are opened and their moralistic endings reimagined: the victim might not lose; the timid gets a chance to become strong; the foool can gain insight; the powerful may lose their grip.ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.More than a play on these beloved fables,Who's Got Game'isAESOP LIVE!
