Plot – In 1885 the cute Mousekewitz family, formed by some Muscovite mice, emigrated to America to be free from Cossacks and cats. Despite a storm in the Atlantic ocean, the ship arrived to New York, but Fievel, the littlest Mousekewitz, fell into the sea. Slipped inside a bottle, he landed to America too, right in the construction yard where Bartholdi was erecting the Statue of Liberty. Comforted by Henri, a whimsical pigeon, Fievel began a frantic search of his family. During his travels, the small immigrant bumped into a bunch of huge and voracious evil cats, but one of them was vegetarian and became his friend. Fievel finally found his family alongside the inauguration of the Statue of Liberty.
