![]() ![]() Obviously, we also talk about mice, cowboy hats, bad dads, cultural assimilation, "Somewhere Out There," and all of the other oddities that make An American Tail what it is. SYFY WIRE's features editor and co-host of The Fandom Files, Jordan Zakarin, brought both An American Tail and its sequel, An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, to the Every Day Animation podcast so we could discuss this very question: With three decades of hindsight, was An American Tail Jewish enough? And, if not, what else should Bluth's team have done to bring that specific experience to the screen? The film prominently features both Irish and Italian mice in addition to Fievel's Russian family. And if you haven't watched the movie recently, it's worth noting that, yes, other than the fact that the story begins with a Hanukkah celebration and involves the Mousekewitzes leaving Russia to escape anti-Jewish pogroms, An American Tail speaks to a more general immigrant experience. But then, An American Tail was also produced by Steven Spielberg, who would go on to not only embrace his own Jewish heritage but also direct Schindler's List.Īn interesting fact about An American Tail is that, upon its release, some critics felt that it didn't do enough to tell a Jewish immigrant story. It might seem odd that Bluth, a devout Mormon, would take on the story of Fievel Mousekewitz and his family of Jewish mice on the run from Cossack cats.

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. Hell, I even remember that song which somebody or two sung in Britain's Got Talent and that's really something. I love the music, I love the tune from it and I prefer this song than the one Fievel and Tanya sings. The song is so beautiful I can't believe what I just witnessed. To me I love the song "Somewhere Out There" that Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram sings. 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". I listen to the soundtrack everytime I'm in a mood. 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. The animation is the same and you can tell it's Don Bluth. He was there being friends with Fievel and then Fievel escapes from the cats. In fact I do remember that Tiger played by Dom DeLuise who didn't get enough screen time. He's the only one who has to find his family and not get eaten by cats. Yeah, I remember it being cute at the time and I find all the characters cute like Fievel. However, he gets lost and must find a way to reunite with them. ![]() 3 The film stars the voices of Phillip Glasser, John Finnegan, Amy Green, Nehemiah Persoff, Dom DeLuise, and Christopher Plummer. ![]() 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.
