Nice, it even has Muad'Dib (the desert mouse from the “Dune” movies) as its mascot. The question “but does it have Muad'Dib?!” was the first thing I thought of when I saw the title.

More white rat than desert mouse, I was disappointed. The mouse is also featured in the source material - the books :)

    Also the one in the film looked more like a jerboa.

      Don’t know what a jerboa is but I quite liked the depiction in the film.

      In particular the attention to detail, when they showed a bead of sweat running down its optimally shaped ear, whereupon it was pawed into its mouth.

      I loved that little scene so much.

        Jerboas ride on your shoulder to alert you of an incoming storm.
