Tyler BurnettFeb 5, 2014As a cartoon musical, it's decent; as a story of cat/mouse hegemony and subjugation, it's fascinating. But as a period piece? Jaw-dropping. An American Tail's New York City c. 1885 is bustling, feculent, corrupt, and candlelit, with poor little Fievel tossed this way and…

The mice should have just stayed in Russia and waited for the Communist Revolution.

It has been written by people who want to prepare kids for the worst.
