The Dark is Rising Mice

First off - I am ignoring the movie. I don't think I could bear to watch it. The preview was painful. I'm sure it's a fine movie in its own right, but I think it'd taint how I see DIR.

So these are mice from the BOOK, not the movie. Which means Merriman is tall, thin, big nose'd and has spiky white hair, like described in the book. Not the short fat guy with a beard the obviously blind movie director cast. /rant
No offense to his acting talent, though. He might be a great actor. He just doesn't look right ;-;
Er. Anyway! Merriman, Will, Bran, Jane, Barney, Simon, and the Black Rider.
