I video taped this off of television for my children when they were all little. I taped it because I thought there might come a day when they would not be playing it on TV anymore, turns out I was right about that, however I never saw this on VHS for sale in any store or I would probably have a better quality tape, my video taping skills leave something to be desired. Now I see the used VHS tapes are quite expensive, perhaps even rare. Which is why this show needs to be restored and sold on DVD so that families can watch this again. Besides, my poor tape is old and will not last forever so I'd ... Read More

It's been a number of years since I've seen Mouse on the Mayflower but it was always a favorite when I was a kid. This was made by Rankin & Bass in 1968,who were at the height of their creative genius in the 60's, most known for Classic Christmas tales like Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph, and Santa Claus is Coming to Town. This story tells the story of the voyage of the Pilgrims to America, but told from the perspective of mice who also make the perilous journey. It's narrated by Tennessee Ernie Ford as we learn of the harsh journey over the Atlantic before the Pilgrims make it safely to the new world ... Read More

The Mouse on the Mayflower is a must see for all ages in my opinion. While I don't remember ever seeing this wonderful movie on TV when I was a child, I learned of it as an adult when my children were small. Since there are so few movies about Thanksgiving I purchased this on VHS and my children loved it. Since then I have worn out two tapes and my third is getting "grainy". I teach second grade and every year recommend to parents that they rent this from one of our local Video Rental stores. The content tells a fairly accurate story of the pilgrims in a way children will enjoy and remember. Having ... Read More

There are few Thanksgiving videos, but this one is top-notch. It portrays the real meaning of Thanksgiving and shows friendship overcoming ignorance.
It is not without flaws. There are two "musical numbers" that put kids to sleep. If you look closely, you'll see the indians give the pilgrims a pineapple on the first Thanksgiving.
The voiceovers of Eddie Albert and Tennessee Ernie Ford are exceptional. The animation is vintgae 1960s, but therein likes its charm.
To anyone who doesn't like this video because it defies their rendition of political correctness, go eat your ... Read More
