An American Tail
Directed by Don Bluth
A young mouse named Fievel and his family decide to migrate to America, a "land without cats," at the turn of the 20th century. But somehow, Fievel ends up in the New World alone and must fend off not only the felines he never thought he'd have to deal with again but also the loneliness of being away from home. From TMDB

60 of 210 · most liked firstWe've decided to follow up Fiddler on the Roof with its spiritual sequel, AN AMERICAN TAIL. The message of this movie is an almost perfect one for the second Trump presidency: immigrant family escapes oppression to America, contributes to the fight for justice here. (Plus, family separation)
positive · AI labelView post →This isn't a Disney song, but I'll always love "Somewhere Out There" from "An American Tail" by Linda Ronstadt & the late James Ingram 🥹🥹 This movie turns 40 next year 😬
neutral · AI labelView post →You reminded me that a bunch of this crowd were arguing that the opening of An American Tail depicted a Ukrainian pogrom (despite the fact that the movie says it's ghe Russian Empire) because Sumy is part of modern day Ukraine

neutral · AI labelView post →Today's VHS was Fievel: Resan till Amerika (An American Tail). A movie in which a family of mice travel to America and proceeds to be sad that the country actually sucks. Very relevant. The film moves at a breakneck pace and just kind of happens at you for about an hour. Mousetastic.

Entertainment. Ten levels span a variety of genres / gameplay modes -- most recycled from previous DDI products.

neutral · AI labelView post →I watched “An American Tail” from @donbluth.bsky.social for the fist time since I was 10 in 1987. It spotlights that immigrants made this country. And it reminds me we have a lot of Fat Cats to fight and win against. That film teaches us that a minority can overcome as long as we work together.
positive · AI labelView post →Just watched An American Tail (1986) with the kids. A movie that is much more deeply ok than I remembered. I’d remembered it being more about the immigrant experience in America and not partly about how drunk corrupt Irish politicians rely on dead people for votes?

neutral · AI labelView post →1) An American Tail - I’ve noticed my opinions Don Bluth films go through similar phases: As a kid, I am in love. As an adult, I am disappointed by all the flaws I can now notice. Then years later I am ready to meet the movie on its own terms, and fall in love all over again. (1/2)

positive · AI labelView post →tonight I am watching a live reading of An American Tail — you know, the cartoon about the mouse — featuring a stacked cast, put on by a progressive worker's rights organization. I admire their cause, I enjoyed the film as a child, and I have seen *approximately 10 ads a day for it since late July*

neutral · AI labelView post →Most visually stunning Don Bluth movie? It’s Secret of Nimh. An American Tail, The Land before Time, and Anastasia are his other great movies, but Secret of Nimh is singularly beautiful.
neutral · AI labelView post →If you are a fan of Don Bluth's work or animation in general, you should definitely watch this movie because long-time animator John Pomeroy worked on this and movies such as: The Secret of NIMH, The Land Before Time, An American Tail, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Treasure Planet, just to name a few.

It seems like it's going to be a soulless cash grab, but it ends up being really good and does not pull any punches.

neutral · AI labelView post →It is my 149th day of recommending an animated film, and today is my 120th favourite An American Tail. This was during the period where Don Bluth looked like he might take over from the struggling Disney as the forefront of American family animation, and he was not afraid of artistic swings…

The epic Don Bluth movie about a little mouse immigrating from Russia to America is one of of his best. The animation is superb and no one could claim it lacks ambition…
positive · AI labelView post →105: An American Tail I don’t recall if I have ever seen this movie, and a lot of Don Bluth stuff is a blind spot for me. It’s a very cute and sincere film with a lot of gorgeous backgrounds and lovely character animation, just a generally sweet experience.
