— Rosencrantz & Guildenstern, "Scooped"
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are two mouse brothers who also happen to be twins. They live in a trailer owned by humans who happened to pass through the Great Forest, allowing them to meet Oyster and Slippery Jack.[1] Rosencrantz is the mouse with grey fur and necktie while Guildenstern has brown fur and a bowtie.
Full of boundless energy, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern rarely sit still. Both are incredibly optimistic and carefree, living each day to the fullest without fear.[1] They love to have fun and will jump at any opportunity to bust a rhyme or sing a song.[1] They can be quite air-headed at times, but are experts when it comes to human objects.
