This is a somewhat adorable little animated movie about a Russian mouse named Fievel who immigrates to the United States with his family to be away from cats. He gets separated from his family during the process and tries to survive in his new country and to reunite with his loved ones, all the while discovering cats exist in the United States as well.
This film has its good moments, from Fievel dealing with getting lost to him and his new friends conjuring plans to defeat the band of cats. However, large parts of the film didn't generate much suspense or intrigue to keep the story 100 percent engaging, as I thought many of the scenes were rushed through and the characters were too childish or "cute." The songs, especially "There Are No Cats in America" and "Somewhere Out There" were too whimsical and pretty annoying - somewhat painful to listen to.
I've seen much animated films than this one; however, this one may be a winner for little children.
Grade C
