    Jimmy Stewart unleashes every dog idiom in existence over the span of about ten seconds. This was his last movie, and it's kind of sad to hear his weary voice. His last line spoken on film: "Just remember, Fievel – one man’s sunset is another man’s dawn. I don’t know…

    I see that this masterpiece is largely unappreciated by many of you critics, and all I can say is that one man's sunset is another man's dawn. I don't know what's out there beyond those hills. But if you ride yonder... head up, eyes steady, heart open... I think one day…

    The Mouskewitz's need to stop traveling places. Fievel can't seem to stay aboard whatever transport they're on. My first watch of Fievel Goes West and I see that Fievel is still trying hard to get himself killed at every turn. What more could you expect from out…

    I watched An American Tail for the first time last year and was pleasantly surprised. Didn't love the movie but it was better than I expected it to be after skipping it for 30+ years. Since it's the 4th of July, I figured I'd revisit the…

    That the direct to video third in this series came along and stated this film was all a dream for Fivel and never happened is something that traumatized my childhood and took me a long, long time to get over.

    An American Tail: Fievel Goes West

    Primarily aimed at children, it is a cartoon romp with the honky-tonk humor of a Looney Tunes adventure. But it is witty, well crafted-and clever enough to amuse adults.
