A family of Jewish mice in Russia emigrate to America. At mid-trip the young son falls overboard and is given as dead.
Disappointing animated fictionalization of the immigration phenomenon at the beginning of the 20th century in America. While it manages to evoke certain real-life events and characters with some success, certain incidents in the narrative, such as the cats, poorly translate to real-life concepts. Ultimately, the film sacrifices meaning to the need to entertain an audience of kids in the usual corny way.
