Classic If You Where a Kid When It Came Out - grantalias
This is probably the best Don Bluth film (Secret of Nymh comes close)and certainly better than the sequel.
I was a tween when this came out and remember watching with my mom. Good memories.
But for my kids (6 and under) this film is a bit slow compared to modern cartoons.In A Summary... - fairweather
This was a cute movie where this little mouse from Russia goes to America after they hear that there are no cats there. But on the ship the little mouse: Fievel gets washed overboard and ends up finding his way to America with the help of some pigeons. Unfortunately it turns out that there are cats in America and they must rid the country of the cats. With the help of new friends Fievel must find his family and rid the country of cats. It was very entertaining and a great kid's film. Probably the most memorable thing in this movie would be the songs. Especially "There are no cats in America" song.my kids love it - seb1
When I look back on my childhood, I think of fond, fuzzy memories, often linked with good movies. The Jungle Book, Peter Pan, really any animated movie will do, especially Disney. For some reason, these movies capture what it means to be a kid, to have fun. What we have hear is one of those funny, heartwarming treasures that will light up a child's face when he or she sees it.
In An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, Fievel Mousekewitz and his family are tricked into leaving the big city in the hopes of finding freedom "way out west". Little do they know that the evil feline Cat R. Waul (John Cleese) is behind this. With the help of his friend Tiger (Dom DeLuise) and sheriff Wiley Burp (Jimmy Stewart), this trio will try and take down Cat R. Waul and his gang of villainous cats.
This well animated sequel to An American Tail is one that will bring a smile to anyones face. Clever humor that appeals to little kids is found throughout. This movie is one that will become an instant classic in your collection. It can be passed down from generation to generation. Granted, this isn't a movie that will be watched late at night by you and your buddies. This movie does what it's supposed to do, entertain the little ones. Your children will have you rewinding over and over again (thank God for DVD's!).
