Trivia Fievel was the name of Steven Spielberg's grandfather. See more »
Goofs In the cat's lair Tiger mentions to Fievel that he is a fan of broccoli. The film is set in the 1885-1886 time frame. Both broccoli and cauliflower were unknown in the United States then. In fact, both vegetables were not commercially grown in the United States until Italian immigrants started commercially growing both vegetables in California in the 1920s. See more »
