Can't resist any film with singing mice. Truly Bluth's best film.

Ethnic mice plus fascist cats in groundbreaking animation.

Its sappiness is unmissably sincere, and such aching, embarrassing sincerity is never an evil thing in a movie.

The story is moving, and the animation includes some powerful images, although some of the early scenes depicting the suffering of the mice in Russia may be too frightening for younger viewers.

It may be that the truly American tale here is the spectacle of an artist squandering his awesome gifts on the way to becoming a Hollywood institution.
