An American Tail: Fievel Goes West

AnimationFamilyWesternAdventureComedy

Some time after the Mousekewitz's have settled in America, they find that they are still having problems with the threat of cats. That makes them eager to try another home out in the west, where they are promised that mice and cats live in peace. Unfortunately, the one making this claim is an oily con artist named Cat R. Waul who is intent on his own sinister plan. From TMDB

    We've decided to follow up Fiddler on the Roof with its spiritual sequel, AN AMERICAN TAIL. The message of this movie is an almost perfect one for the second Trump presidency: immigrant family escapes oppression to America, contributes to the fight for justice here. (Plus, family separation)

    You reminded me that a bunch of this crowd were arguing that the opening of An American Tail depicted a Ukrainian pogrom (despite the fact that the movie says it's ghe Russian Empire) because Sumy is part of modern day Ukraine

    Today's VHS was Fievel: Resan till Amerika (An American Tail). A movie in which a family of mice travel to America and proceeds to be sad that the country actually sucks. Very relevant. The film moves at a breakneck pace and just kind of happens at you for about an hour. Mousetastic.

    I watched “An American Tail” from @donbluth.bsky.social for the fist time since I was 10 in 1987. It spotlights that immigrants made this country. And it reminds me we have a lot of Fat Cats to fight and win against. That film teaches us that a minority can overcome as long as we work together.

    Just watched An American Tail (1986) with the kids. A movie that is much more deeply ok than I remembered. I’d remembered it being more about the immigrant experience in America and not partly about how drunk corrupt Irish politicians rely on dead people for votes?

    It is my 149th day of recommending an animated film, and today is my 120th favourite An American Tail. This was during the period where Don Bluth looked like he might take over from the struggling Disney as the forefront of American family animation, and he was not afraid of artistic swings…

    Age yourself with a movie you saw in theaters Don Bluth left Disney Animation in 1979 and, a few studios later, released 'An American Tail'; at the time, it was the highest grossing non-Disney animated film of all time. I love it to this day.
