Saw this movie in theaters when i was 4 with Little Shop of Horrors, Lady and The Tramp 1986 re-issue, and Star Trek 4. Awesome movie and i also enjoyed the sequel.

" great movie very warm and brillant" WOW

I recently watched this on dvd in december. It had charm and great songs like the memorable Somewhere Out There by James Horner. Also the Voice acting is fantastic most of the characters are very likeable. The cast includes Phillip Glasser, Christopher Plummer, the late Dom Deluise and the late Madeline kahn. In conclusion it was a really moving experience.

I want to watch this film, I wanted to as a kid but I never got the chance to get it on VHS. So this evening I am going to go onto Youtube and watch the film from start to finish.

This was one of my favorite movies as a kid. Watched it a lot on video tape.

"When I'd watch it as a kid, my mom would bawl when the one girl mouse sang the song (sorry for the vagueness, it's been forever!)"

You mean Tanya, Fievel's older sister. Its funny, everyone remembers Tanyas role in the song, but its a duet between both siblings. The "pop" version of the song was really popular for years, but its kinda...awkward. The movie version is about two siblings desire for their family to be reunited again, but the pop version is about a couple in love.

And IMO, "Dreams to Dreams" has NOTHING on "Somewhere, Out There". "Dreams to Dreams" was way better as a brief instrumental near the end of the first movie.

I love this movie ^.^ We had a Christmas ornament of Bernard from The Rescuers, and my mom actually thought it was Feivel! O_o I don't see ANY similarities between the two!

feivel!

OK... This was one of the crappiest movies ever to come outta the eighties..

Don Bluth's absolute, best movie ever was the Secret of Nimh.. Everybody knows it.. end of story!

Loved this movie! that song still makes me wanna cry! somewhere out there =-)

This just aired on HBO Family, now the sequel just finished airing.

This movie came out the year I was born. Classic! I loved this movie as a kid & I still do today!

I agree, totally the best animated film!!! I also still have my Fieval doll (though no ones allowed to play with him)

The best kids movie of all time!!!!! I still have my Fivel doll that I got when I was three! My kids play with it now!!
*Some where out there someones saying a prayer
that we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there*
Makes me want to cry!

This is sort of "Maus" (by Art Spiegelman) for kiddies

Oh, and also "There are nooooo cats in Am-er-i-ca!"

I remember this as being the first movie I ever saw in theaters (I was six or seven)--it may not have actually been the first, but it's the one I remember. For at least an hour afterwards I was talking like the characters in the movie ("Papa, are we going to McDonalds?") and singing that Somewhere Out There song ad nauseum at school.

I loved this movie

Oh please! This movie wishes it could be the land before time!

I loved this!!
