Squeaky the Rat

Video game obsessed nine-year-old Charlie is sent to spend the summer at his Uncle Steve's countryside home, where he befriends Squeaky, an overlooked rat in his uncle's struggling pet store. When a video of Squeaky unexpectedly goes viral, turning the rat into a social media star, the family's fortunes begin to change. But their newfound hope is threatened when Squeaky is kidnapped by local bully Kevin. Determined to save their furry friend, Charlie, his cousin Stewart, and their friend Jane embark on a daring rescue mission. Along the way, the kids discover the power of family and teamwork. By summer's end, Squeaky not only rescues the pet store but also brings joy and unity to Charlie's family, proving that even the smallest heroes can make a big difference.

Directed by Jared Cohn, Squeaky the Rat leans on a strong ensemble — Lucas Mazanko, Michael Mazanko, Ella Rose Schaerer — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 2025.
