Universal acclaim based on 5 Reviews

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

Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

An American Tail looks good but the tale itself, as conceived by David Kirschner for the screenplay by Judy Freudberg and Tony Geiss, is witless if well-meaning. It's mostly bland, though every now and then it rises to express its own brand of kiddie-bigotry.
