“One of the better animated films to come out in the 1980s. Directed by Don Bluth and produced by Steven Spielberg, itu0026#39;s the story of a young mouse named Fievel who is separated from his family during their voyage from Russia to America, and his quest to be reunited with them. Itu0026#39;s a nice movie, a little familiar in places, that uses animals to tell a very human story against the backdrop of late 19th century New York. The animation is excellent, rich in detail with some well-done action sequences. The voice work is top notch and the music is enjoyable, particularly the touching song u0026quot;Somewhere Out There,u0026quot; which became a big hit at the time. The movieu0026#39;s only real flaws are its predictability and a dark palette that can leave you with a gloomy feeling while watching. I was a kid when it was first released and I remember leaving the theater underwhelmed. It plays much better to an older audience, I think.”
