Hi all wehn i saw this film as a cute 7 year old, i cried my heart out and even now in my twenties, everytime i see it i sob my little heart out, there is something mo magical about this film, oh and when i was 8 and my sister 10 we entered a butlins children song competition with somewhere out there and won...just wanted to share the moment
Yeah this movie made me ball. The part where Fievel and Tony are walking down the street, and Fievel hears the violin music that his father plays, and he leaves Tony and looks down the sewer gate and yells " I'm coming Papa!" I remember seeing the trailers for this movie when I was young and they used to make me ball. Also the part where the other orphan mice convince Fievel that his parents don't want him is very sad.
i remember watching this film as a child with my parents and brother and as well as finding it enjoyable, the film introduced to levels of melancholy I had not experienced because not many films or programmes I watched as a little kid were like that in an emotional way. I was close to tears at some parts of the film like when fivel got lost, when they sang 'somewhere out there', and at the end of the film where fivel gets reunited with his family. I have not seen this film for 8 yrs since I was 10 but I still like it because it was part of my childhood. If I watched it again, I would probably be close to tears again, though I would receive a battering from my friends.
I did not realize that was an orphanage, I thought it was just a place the little mice were hanging out at. But that scene was sad. I cheered when little Feival was finally reunited with his family.

Woah. That's exactly the way I reacted. I don't know why "I'm coming, Papa!" makes me so emotional, but for some reason it does.
And though I usually despise tearjerking films, I'm not ashamed to confess that I really lost it at the end of this one.

OMG. I saw this in a theatre in Key West with my parents when I was about 5 or 6 and all I rememeber was crying my eyes out. I think I cried during that whole movie from when Fievel got lost to when he was back with his family. I remember crying a little bit then when Fievel screams, "Mamma, dadda" And runs to them it was full water works. I'm even tearing up right now thinking about it and I'm 25!!! I have recently seen movies like Rent, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and they have some pretty intense moments that made a lot of my friends cry but I was ok. For some reason things like An American Tale and that song "My Mother" from the Chipmunk Adventure movie will have me crying like a baby. I honestly can't explain it
I am 20 years old, and I haven't seen this movie in years. So I rented it the other night, and it still makes me cry and still touches me. Its so rare that movies still are able to do that. I love everything about this film and Fievel is so adorable. The songs are great too:)
I cried at several parts (and I remembered my mom saying she kept crying, too :P). I cried at when Fievel and Tanya sang that song "Somewhere Out There" (I'm learning it in voice lessons! :D), when the little mice where telling Fievel that his parents didn't want him (well, close to it anyways), and who didn't cry with joy when Fieval was finally reunited with his family? (I love it when he's like "Papa!"). I think I was like six or seven, and even know as a soon-to-be-fourteen-year-old, I think I'll still bawl my tears out. :( It was a very cute and touching movie.
The second one was good, too, but it was more of a kinda cute-for-little-kids movie...it wasn't as moving as the first one.
Yes I know, the first is the best in my opinion. I wish I could find this movie in stores...for some reason I have searched like every video store, and I can't ever seem to find it...
I watched this last night which was the first time since I was 10 and I cried tears of joy when Fiveal was reunited with his family. I couldn't help it.
Hehe. I've seen it too often now, but after watching it for the first time in years I was trying to hold back the tears. Tears of joy, that is, when Fievel and his Dad 'miss' each other for the last time and are finally (the frustration!) reunited. It's kind of fitting that there's so much water and glistening in that scene! I'm a bitter teen and I find it difficult not to cry... How embarassing.
I bawl my eyes out to the point where I can't even watch it again. It was a sweet movie but so sad because he is seperated from his parents. I get filled up even when someone talks about it and I am usually much tougher than that. But seriously, it makes me feel like embarassed about it to know other people have cried as well.
I still have the stuffed animal Fievel that my dad got for me years ago and I am in my upper twenties now.
Ooops, I just started another post and didn't see this one. Yup, I'm almost 30 and I can't watch the end of the movie without balling my eyes out. There's just so much real raw emotion in so many scenes that you can't help but not notice that these are people, not just animated mice.
I cried! My hand is held high for that. It was the first movie i ever saw when i was little kid that got me emotionally and held my heart strings. I was sickened to read so many reviews years later saying how dull and inspid it was and would'nt entertain the kids. What a load of morons it was a great movie with amazing animation that is not afraid to be genuinely scary when it needs to be (the "ocean phantom" scared the hell out of me at five or six) but the thing for me is the most difficult scene for me to watch when i was younger is when he is pushed around at the orphange towards the end and breaks down. Nothing else bothered me, all the cat attacks and the part where he was in the cage, that was all fine but show a kid getting picked on and that made it all the more real and upsetting for me.
Yes I cried and still do at it, when he is at the orphanage yep, and the reunion with his family at the end was sooooo happy i burst into tears at that to, brilliant film!!!!!

I wasn't too bad when I was younger I'm twenty now and recently rewatched it, oh my Gosh I bawled at several parts especially at the end when they find him:)
"Do you ever get the feeling you were meant to do something extraordinary."
Agreed Zigzo....... im 26 year old male. Im not ashamed to say i cry when i hear Somewhere Out There and during the reunion. I have to make sure that i am alone if i watch American Tail cause i cant control it. But during Land Before Time............Forget about it. I bawl when the mom dies. I bawl when he talks to that old green dinasaur with the spikes. And then the end, with the flashbacks, dude i cry my *beep* heart out.
I didn't cry when I was little, but watching it now brings a tear to my eyes. It makes me remember my childhood and realize ....IT'S OVER ...then I cry haha. Really though it's a very touching movie and I wish more like this were made today.
