Imagining wolves parading down the street is sort of terrifying. Mice, however...little pink-tailed rodents holding instruments and batons and riding on floats? Now there's something you can submit to Cute Overload. The man behind Mice Parade, Adam Pierce, ain't so bad lookin' either.

Get ready to "oooh" and "ahhh" because Mice Parade is about to launch a bicontinental tour. The tour kicks off Sunday in Columbus, OH, ends in Austin, TX, and has a gooey middle in Japan.
