Hi my name is Shannon, I'm 23 yrs old. When I was about 4 or 5 yrs old I had a favorite movie that my mom had taped for me. It was animated (I think it was japanese animation) about a mouse or rodent of some sort, that lived in the city in an apartment and he escapes his home to travel to find other mice. On his journey he comes in contact with some packrats and finds friends along the way. That is pretty much all that I can remember and it has been driving me nuts for years. Can you help me?? Thanks a lot!! :

It's a shot in the dark, but you aren't muddling up the plot of "An American Tail" in your head are you? Came out in 1986. Here's a link:

I was thinking the same thing. I loved that movie as a kid. As well as "Fievel Goes West" the sequel made in 1991.

Don Bluth will always be one of the top 5 best animators of all time.

Thanks guys, but unfortunely these are not it. I also just remembered that there is a bird in the movie that guides the hamster

I think I know what your talking about! And there's a cat in it too right? And it takes place in like NYC?

Yes it does take place in nyc I'm pretty sure so glad that someone actually remembers this. If you get anymore information then please let me know thanks
:) :)

I could use some help with remembering a movie myself guys. Go to my profile page and check out the film that's been the bane of my memory. Hopefully one of you can help me with it.
