Alicia 06/08/2022 Love this childhood favorite! See more Joel H 6d An American Tail holds a special place in my heart. Even though it isn’t as polished as a Disney movie, and even though it’s a bit of a downer, there’s something endearing about this little animated movie that could. My heart goes out to Fievel and his family every time I watch it. Also, the music is great. From James Horner’s impressive score to the catchy little ditty, "There Are No Cats in America" to the touchingly beautiful, "Somewhere Out There," there is a lot of emotion brought to the plot. And who doesn’t love Dom DeLuise as Tiger? It may not be flawless, but An American Tail is a classic.

The sibling bond and that unforgettable song give it real heart, even if the story itself stays simple. Sweet, warm, and easy to love — especially with friends who already know the lyrics.

Kind of boring and hammers the same two notes (never give up; America is great) the entire movie. See more Blu B Jun 24 All Time Classic. Like many family animated movies of this time it's suprsingly dark and scary at times for a "kids" movie. The main character is super likeable, charming, and very easy to get behind. While no one else has that much depth to their character, they are all super memorable thanks to how well their drawn and the voice acting is filled with character. Dom DeLuise as Tiger especially is a standout, easily one of his best films. This is a case study on exection making up for lack of substance on the support side. The animation is gorgous and capture that turn of the century look of NYC perfectly you see in something like The Godfather Part II or Gangs of New York perfectly. Filled with detail, sludge and smog like but never lifeless, and beautiful at the same time. The cat scenes especially are terrifying and like a horror movie. The music is super catchy, memorable, and well sung. And in just 80 minutes this is a brisk adventure that never drags. We stay super focused on Fievel the entire way. Granted the tone can move between fear and kid like Singin In The Rain moments on a dime but underneatht the whole adventure a underlying commentary of the American Dream is underneath. The dream is not all "No Cats and streets made of cheese" but unpredictable and can turn on a dime. Just like the movie does. Everyone should give this a try once.
