Ratings and reviews

It's Good, But It COULD Use A Little More Work, Like Giving Yasha MORE Screen Time, Have Tanya Go Overboard WITH Fievel, And Have Them, Along With Bridgette And Toni, Talk About Their Families. I'm Just Saying...

I absolutely love this film. My favorite character is always going to be the great Fievel Mousekewitz. This film is celebrating its 35th anniversary here in 2021. I can't imagine how good and sometimes intense this film is.

My favorite animated film of all time featuring that adorable and young Russian mouse. This film's great story and cast of characters made me feel like I was in it. His adventure in America has brought joy to me as well as saddness. Every time fievel cries like everything is hopeless, I just want to give him a hug and tell him "never say never." 😭😌
