Synopsis

Fievel is a Russian mouse who, along with the rest of his family, flees his homeland and persecution by cats for a new life in America. However, on their journey a violent storm at sea separates young Fievel and the rest of the Mousekewitzs - so when he eventually reaches his new country, he must embark on an epic quest to find them. This animated family adventure is as cute as they come - but director Don Bluth also stays the right side of sentimentality, and the American immigrant experience (which the film is really about) is dealt with smartly and sensitively.
