Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

This set of Don Bluth's two An American Tail movies are based upon the story of a young Russian mouse who is separated from his family in America (this is all in the first film) and who later heads with his reunited kin out to the American West. Both films are pleasant, though not spectacular, and they have their greatest problems in story development. Steven Spielberg produced with an eye toward creating animation hits outside of Disney, and he and Bluth certainly took a big step in that direction here. Kids like both films a lot, and adults will warm to the sound of various familiar voices, such as James Stewart performing as the creaky sheriff Wylie Burp. --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent movies! The 1st one's the best movie ever!, May 27, 1999

This review is from: American Tail/American Tail-Fievel Goes West (2 pack) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The 1st one is a touching and heart-warming movie about Fievel Mousekewitz being separated from his family in NYC, and he goes out to try and find them. I've seen this movie about 80 times, and I love it a lot. The 2nd one, takes place in the Wild West era. It's not as good as the first one, but it's still entertaining and humorous. Tiger the Cat is in both movies, and he's hilarious. Very entertaining!

If you're a fan of Fievel and his friends and foes, you'll have to own this double video, with excellent animation, and many entertaining songs like 'Somewhere Out There', so forget about the other two following direct to video sequels!
