I never understood with the rats. They had the men and dogs outnumbered, yet instead of fighting back they ran for their hides. The same happened on two animated films I saw, Heidi's Song and a Burbank version of Black Beauty, both have a scene with rats being all tough and aggressive when they have the enemy outnumbered, only to become a bunch of cowardly fraidy rats when an army arrives. It doesn't make any sense the rats don't fight back.
