Trivia:
CASTLE THUNDER: It is heard a few times in the film, it is first clap of thunder as the storm hits the boat, and a variation is heard again when Fievel first sees the fish on the flooded deck of the boat, and once more right before the wave monster rams right into the ship, knocking Fievel overboard. moreGoofs:
Plot holes: The main plot of the story revolves around Fievel being separated from his family and then the family trying to reconnect. At the start of the film there are five family members, Mamma and Pappa, Fievel his sister and the baby. To Pappa even makes a sad miscalculation when coming through Ellis Island saying he has five, then corrects and says four family members. Well, after the first half of the film the baby completely disappears from the movie and at the end of the film there are only four family members. Making this more problematic is that the baby returns in the sequel. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Mama Mousekewitz: Fievel! Tanya! Stop that twirling, twirling! I mean it!
Papa Mousekewitz: But Mama, it's Hannukah.
Mama Mousekewitz: For you, every night is Hannukah.

In my opinion, this is an excellent movie for all ages that will warm your heart! When Fievel (voice of Phillip Glasser) got lost, I wanted to cry. Although some of the characters were diabolical, I liked everybody. Well, it's hard to say which character was my favorite. The music was good, especially "Somewhere Out There, "A Duo," and "No Cats In America." In addition to the music being good everyone was cast perfectly, and the direction was flawless. In conclusion, I highly recommend this very touching movie for all ages that will warm your heart to anyone who hasn't seen it. You're in for a real treat and a good time, so go to the video store, rent it or buy it, kick back with someone close to you, and watch it.
