Stop Motion: In a mostly live-action short, the final rat seen is animated in stop motion before it's eaten. | |

Beauty Inversion | |
| The Rat Catcher / int_57de4e72 | comment |
Beauty Inversion: Ralph Fiennes is given dark, beady eyes, a sharp widow's peak over a ragged wig, and ugly, uneven yellow teeth to look ratlike. This especially contrasts his other character Roald Dahl, who looks more gentlemanly and sits in a cozy room. | |

Chiaroscuro | |
| The Rat Catcher / int_75e2bf23 | comment |
Chiaroscuro: In the last portion of the short film, Friend plays the rat that the rat catcher is dared to eat. The lighting dims suddenly and lights are pointed at the actors' faces, giving the scene an eerie and dramatic appeal. | |

Squirrels in My Pants | |
| The Rat Catcher / int_85abf836 | comment |
Squirrels in My Pants: The rat man lets a ferret chase a rat all around the inside of his shirt (or so the narrator claims, since the playlike nature of the short means that the actors are gesturing with nonexistent props). | |

Animal Motifs | |
| The Rat Catcher / int_e2ccee25 | comment |
Animal Motifs: The rat catcher is naturally associated with rats, not just in appearance but also in snively mannerisms. The stop motion rat he's about to eat even appears to speak with his voice to highlight the similarities between the two. | |
