The Dutch title is "Een avontuur met een staartje" (An adventure with a tail).

I’ve been wanting the cue “Chase in the Mauler’s Den” for eons!! That alone made this so worth the wait. Also amused by the Aliens-esque stinger during "Building the Giant Mouse of Minsk".
I'm sure the whining about "dynamic range" will continue, but I like being able to play this score without having to turn the speakers up to deafening levels.

“Let’s Go Up and See The Fish!” (10:35 – 10:55) unreleased
This very short and lightning-fast action cue alternates between flashes of Fievel’s adventure theme and bumbling brass for Papa trying to keep up with his son. When Fievel runs into Mama, the cue reaches an upbeat and musically formal conclusion. While only 20 seconds long, it’s a wonderful little cue, but sadly, it’s missing from Intrada’s expanded edition.
Well, that's disappointing.  How could that one (albeit brief) cue go missing while Intrada managed to find all of the other unreleased cues?
Two actually as I mentioned. The boarding the boat, "polka" music and the "finding fish" cue. It appears the entirety of the score is otherwise present and that's awesome because there's many wonderful statements in the previously unreleased music.
Reading the article reminds me how brilliant this score is. Every shot of every frame drew meaning from the music.
Just on aside, The Secret of NIMH wasn't a commercial success. It bombed. Advertising was pulled after a week and I think the film was pulled within three weeks. It got run over by E.T. the family film of the decade. It was well received critically though.
Bluth's financier pulled out of financing his second film and he almost went bankrupt until Spielberg came by and saved him in the short term. Even then, all salaries (and other employee perks) were frozen for the 2.5 years Tail was in production.
BTW, Spielberg was introduced to Bluth via Jerry Goldsmith. He told him about his involvement on NIMH and Spielberg arranged a private screening of NIMH. He was floored by the production and said no one does animation like that anymore. It reminded him of Disney's Pinocchio. Jerry Goldsmith was going to score Tail but had to drop out because of other commitments.
Also of note. Bluth and Spielberg agreed to a three picture deal. But things got so hotly contested by the end of The Land Before Time, they agreed to go their separate ways. Made a little easy by Bluth as he found a new foreign investor who agreed to fund a new three picture deal.
On further note, Bluth had first rights of refusal regarding An American Tail sequel. Bluth declined so Spielberg had to find animators in Europe. Which is funny because when he originally proposed An American Tail he was quoted as saying hes not going to animate a movie called An American Tail with non American animators.
