(Blu-ray, MGM/Fox)
When the home of a timid field mouse and her ailing son is threatened, she enlists the help of a colony of rats to help move it. This leads her deep into their strange world, where they make electricity and engage in other activities beyond a normal rat's intelligence. Turns out these are escapees from a human experimental facility to boost intelligence. She becomes embroiled in their politics, including an attempt by a power-hungry rat to take over as leader. They agree to help her since her husband had died while helping in their initial escape from the human facility. Don Bluth's directorial debut is a dark story in the vein of Watership Down and The Plague Dogs.
