Storyline

Fievel is a young Russian mouse separated from his parents on the way to America, a land they think is without cats. When he arrives alone in the New World, he keeps up hope, searching for his family, making new friends, and running and dodging the cats he thought he'd be rid off.

Trivia

When Fievel is running away from the cats during the cossacks' raid, his hat falls from his head and stands at the entrance of a snow tunnel. Fievel retrieves it at the final moment, right before one of the cats gets there, in a moment reminiscent of producer Steven Spielberg's Indiana Jones. See more »

Goofs

Continuity: When Warren T. Rat sees Fievel through his mirror, the reflection is not reversed (note the position of the gold teeth). See more »
