Have them somehow dropped, carried, thrown through some sort of plot oriented sequence of events. I think the fact that they will just be oblivious and playing their instruments could be fun. That could actually be really cool with a mini-modest-mouse sometimes zoomed in on, or sometimes just tiny off to the side of some shot. In the end I vote you give them a (real) mouse audience. I dont care if this is lame, it seems fun in my head. I have no idea if all of that is feasable either, but I thought I'd try to help. I vote you make them miniature in a giant world.

Since the shots (i assume) are all fairly open with the green screen... i'd make a point to make them part of an environment, that is unless you have an insane amount of time to devote to animation (similar to something like 'good is good' by sheryll crow") i'd say your best shot is something indoors. It's going to be tough to light anything to make it look as good as the original footage (i assume). So, i'd say either go really abstract, maybe to the extent of some crazy animation (do you have good animators at collins?) or put together some sort of cool environments for them to play in. This is one of those cases IMO that the blank canvas is by far the most intimidating... if you just start throwing random stuff out and run with it you could end up with a pretty decent final project.
