It has the most important ingredient for a good cartoon feature: an appealing main character.

[It] celebrates the rich diversity of our melting-pot heritage; it doesn't insult kids (or adults) with fifth-rate Saturday-morning non-animation; and it gives us some wonderfully memorable characters that weren't already sitting on the Toys R Us shelves.

Beautifully animated in the classic tradition of Pinocchio, An American Tall depicts the immigrant experience of i hundred years ago as seen through the eyes of young Fievel Mousekewitz, his family and his murine compadres.

An American Tail remains one of Don Bluth’s defining films. A beautifully animated immigrant story that trusts kids with fear,sadness, and hope. This little mouse might have more to say about the American Dream.
