feivel was so annoying

seriously, could bluth have possibly used a worse, more annoying child actor? I swear, I wanted to wring the stupid mouse's neck everytime he spoke. Also, would it have killed them to get a professional child singer to sing his songs? The actor they got literally hurt my ears listening to him sing.

He only sounds 'annoying' because he was actually voiced by a nine-year old, and not an actor pretending to be a child.

Loved his voice. Fit the character perfect and I'll take the actors voice over a professional any day.

Yes, Philip Glasser was only about five years old at the time. Give him a break.

I personally don't think he's annoying at all.

yeah his singing voice was not all that great but it fit the character. Fievel was only a kid so I think they made the right choice in having a child play him both in talking and singing. Also, the voice of Fievel is a very known voice especially for kids growing up in the time period. I can almost guarantee that the kid does not sound like that anymore.
