“Right before your eyes, and beyond your wildest dreams.”
A widowed field mouse must move her family -- including an ailing son -- to escape a farmer's plow. Aided by a crow and a pack of superintelligent, escaped lab rats, the brave mother struggles to transplant her home to firmer ground.

This film feels like a journey through a beautifully rendered, often perilous world, driven by a mother's fierce determination. It's an earnest, wondrous experience, tinged with suspense and a bittersweet undertone, all brought to life with a distinctive, darker hand-drawn animation style that feels both classic and timeless.
