Synopsis

Fievel is a Russian mouse who, along with the rest of his family, flees his homeland and persecution by cats for a new life in America. However, on their journey, a violent storm at sea separates young Fievel from the rest of the Mousekewitzs - so when he eventually reaches his new country, he must embark on an epic quest to find them. This animated family adventure explores the American immigrant experience, dealing with themes of new beginnings and prejudice with sensitivity.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."

- Marlon Perkins, Teacher, Whitstable and Seasalter Endowed CofE Junior School, Kent
