It's not that bad. Who doesn't like An American Tail? It's fun, and it tells a very interesting story. Plus, combining much of the richness bygone Disney? Don Bluth used to work with Disney, that's why the animation style is like this. It'sIt's not that bad. Who doesn't like An American Tail? It's fun, and it tells a very interesting story.

When I was a kid, An American Tail was my favourite Don Bluth film. Since I've got the VHS of it years ago and now I gone of it and 11 years ago I've come across a website called YouTube where you can videos from it and no I didn't watch itWhen I was a kid, An American Tail was my favourite Don Bluth film. Since I've got the VHS of it years ago and now I gone of it and 11 years ago I've come across a website called YouTube where you can videos from it and no I didn't watch it on it. I've watched it a few years later. I was watching one of the Donald Duck cartoons. But now I watched it and remember everything about it, it still grown on me. It tells the story of Fievel Mousekewitz and his family as they emigrate from the Imperial Russian territory of Ukraine to the United States for freedom. However, he gets lost and must find a way to reunite with them. Yeah, I remember it being cute at the time and I find all the characters cute like Fievel. He's the only one who has to find his family and not get eaten by cats. I remember all the characters. In fact I do remember that Tiger played by Dom DeLuise who didn't get enough screen time. He was there being friends with Fievel and then Fievel escapes from the cats. Tiger hates killing mice, he likes them. The animation is the same and you can tell it's Don Bluth. The music is great and it's composed by James Horner who composes many films in the generation such as 48 Hrs., Commando, Aliens, The Land Before Time which is a Don Bluth film, Braveheart and Titanic. I listen to the soundtrack everytime I'm in a mood. The songs are catchy and everytime a song comes on they'll always come in your head like "There Are No Cats in America", "Never Say Never", "Somewhere Out There" and "A Duo". To me I love the song "Somewhere Out There" that Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram sings. The song is so beautiful I can't believe what I just witnessed. I love the music, I love the tune from it and I prefer this song than the one Fievel and Tanya sings. Hell, I even remember that song which somebody or two sung in Britain's Got Talent and that's really something. The ending is so beautiful you knew that Fievel has found his family and being reunited and it always gets you in the way that will make you cry and happy at the same time. Okay so that's took care of An American Tail and it's been awhile since years back. I know that alot of people that don't really like this movie but when it comes The Secret of NIMH, An American Tail will always get you in the token of appreciation.… Expand

Not the best cartoon when I was little but one that had a little more meat to it. Just remember there are no cats in America!

Beautiful film. Is deep, is engaged, is funny, have a creative story and great ending, this is feel like a fresh and original idea for wanna the greatest animators of all time: Don Bluth and the greatest producers of all time: Steven Spielberg.

Es una bonita película sobre ratones inmigrantes; la trama es decente y la animación es muy buena; es un clásico del cine animado de Don Bluth.
