Albert Mouse is the tritagonist of Rankin/Bass' 1974 animated special 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. He is Father Mouse's oldest child.
Personality[]
Albert is smart, cynical, and brainy. He initially did not believe in Santa and wrote a letter with his friends saying that he was a fraudulent myth, and says the reindeer are phony. Until Father Mouse got him to be sorry for the false and rude letter. He is also very curious, as he wanted to see how the clock worked only to end up breaking it by mistake. He also is shown to make amends by confessing his mistake to Father Mouse and volunteering to fix the clock.
Role in the special[]
When Father Mouse asked who wrote the letter, Albert said that he was the one who did. Mother Mouse was shocked at what her son did, but Albert says that not only he did it but his friends agreed. Father Mouse then sang a song to try to get Albert to feel sorry for his letter. And said that a young boy named Davey Thomas, once the best artist in school, threw a picture of Santa into the water.
After that, he showed him Joshua Trundle's clock. Albert decided to put the hand together but Father Mouse stopped him, telling him not to wake up everybody. He then went inside the clock to look at it when all a sudden, he broke the clock by mistake. Later Albert starts to sob and confesses his mistake to Father Mouse, and volunteers to make amends by saying that he'll fix it by midnight though this task isn't complete until a minute after the midnight deadline.
