In 12 oz. Mouse Season 1 Episode 4 "Spider," the oddball adventures of Mouse Fitzgerald continue as he navigates through surreal and absurd scenarios that will leave viewers scratching their heads.
The episode starts off with Fitz waking up in an unfamiliar place with no clue of how he got there. He is greeted by a strange, spider-like creature who introduces itself as "Skillet" and claims to be Fitz's friend. The creature urges Fitz to follow him and learn about various spider-related topics, but Fitz is quite skeptical about this strange new adventure.
At this point, viewers will realize that this episode is not meant to make sense in the traditional sense of a linear plotline, but rather is more of an exercise in subverting expectations. The conversation between Fitz and Skillet feels like something out of a surreal dream, with each character talking past each other in a nonsensical way.
As they journey through the spider lair, Fitz and Skillet encounter some bizarre characters that look like they were created by a fever dream. One such character is a giant spider, with multiple eyes and eight legs, who seems to be running the show. Fitz tries to engage this creature in conversation, but it is clear that they do not speak the same language.
Despite not understanding what's happening around him, Fitz does not back down, and he sets out to try and learn the truth about his situation. Along the way, he meets more of the spider people who are all quite quirky and unique. This sense of quirkiness is even reflected in the animation style, with some of the characters seeming to flicker in and out of existence.
As the episode progresses, Fitz starts to feel more at home with the spiders and their way of life. Skillet presents the opportunity for him to join the spider crew and become one of them. But before he can make a decision, a giant spider web appears and traps Fitz, indicating that he might be in trouble.
Overall, 12 oz. Mouse Season 1 Episode 4 "Spider" is a strange and intriguing addition to the series, showcasing the show's imaginative storytelling and quirky humor. It is definitely not for everyone, as the surreal narrative can be confusing at times, but it's worth checking out for those who enjoy experimental animation and offbeat humor.
