Directed by ex-Disney animator Don Bluth and with Steven Spielberg as co-executive producer, this handsome feature has the look and feel of a master cartoonist at work. The story of the Mousekewitz family who leave 1880s Russia for the United States because they've heard that the country has no cats, every wall has a mousehole in it and the streets are paved with cheese, ties in nicely with Bluth's stunning animation. Also, in true Disney tradition, the Oscar-nominated song Somewhere Out There is a major highlight. Children will love it.

A young mouse named Fievel and his family decide to migrate to America, a "land without cats," at the turn of the 20th century. But somehow, Fievel ends up in the New World alone and must fend off not only the felines he never thought he'd have to deal with again but also the loneliness of being away from home.
