TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Fievel was the name of Steven Spielberg's grandfather.

The scene in which Fievel presses up against a window to look into a classroom filled with American "schoolmice" is based on a story Steven Spielberg remembered about his grandfather, who told him that Jews were only able to listen to school lessons through open windows while sitting outside in the snow.

The character of Gussie Mausheimer - a wealthy German socialite with a speech impediment which causes her to use the W sound in place of her R's and L's - is voiced by Madeline Kahn. The character's heritage, accent and distinctive speech pattern are identical to Lili von Shtupp, Madeline Kahn's character in the classic Mel Brooks comedy Blazing Saddles (1974).

Originally, the concept consisted of an all-animal world, like Disney's Robin Hood (1973), but Don Bluth suggested featuring an animal world existing as a hidden society from the human world, like Disney's The Rescuers (1977). After viewing the film, Steven Spielberg agreed. Don also worked on both these films during his time working at the Disney Company.

During production, director Don Bluth staged a demonstration of the difference between limited TV animation and the full animation used in the film. He had his staff stack up animation cels by his feet into two piles, one representing two minutes of limited animation, the other two minutes of full animation. The TV pile reached only to Bluth's shoelaces; the film pile went all the way up to eye level.
