  • Rat is a 2000 film, a dark comedy about a Dublin man, Hubert Flynn, who goes home from a night at the pub, and promptly turns into a small white rat. The transformation is viewed by his family not as a shocking or abnormal occurrence, but as an annoyance, a misfortune akin to a crippling illness, or an event which can be profited from. A journalist in particular stokes the family's interest. Produced by Jim Henson Pictures, with Brian Henson as executive producer. Rat primarily used trained live rodents, for the title character and a few supporting rats. However, Jim Henson's Creature Shop augmented the footage with several duplicate rats of Hubert: a fully animatronic, remote controlled rat for close-ups and movements; a less detailed stunt rat, operated by a device; and various simpler puppets and devices for stunt scenes and specific long-shots.
