I absolutely love the melody to this..
the music to this song is lovely!!

I'm not sure which version I like
better??

The one sung by Philip Glasser and that little
girl...

Or the one with James Ingram and Linda Ronstadt..!!

I was watching an ep of "Boy Meets World"--
and one of the actors who was a guest star
as Cory's classmate or whatever was Phillip
Glasser..

I had no idea what he looked like, and
I would have never thought it was him...

I instantly flashed back to American Tail...

Philip in this episode did not have no
very high childish voice--

I've always liked the film version it always spoke more for me what the film is really about the, pop song version is good though, I want 2 one day see the music video that was made for it

Yeah I love Somewhere Out There too. But Dreams to Dream is better.

I prefer the film verson. It sounds more realistic. The cover just sounds too "pseudo" for my liking.

I love the version where feivel and his sister is singing. The squeaky voices or hard to get notes, make it so cute.

while I liket he james ingram and linda ronstadt version, I dont think anything can compare to the film version with the kids. It's so sweet and cute...and makes me cry!!

IMO the best version is the one sung by eVonne.

Check this out

It starts with a stupid intro interview or something and the girl tries to mimic the mouse version, pretty good actually, and then at about 1:50 or so she actually sings it for real and she is imo the best!
