That adorable little imp Fievel Mousekewitz is back (An American Tail, An American Tail: Fievel Goes West). Plucky and determined, Fievel sets out on a quest for buried treasure, located under old New York City, where he and his family happily reside (although his sometimes-cranky father is a workaholic). Underground, Fievel meets a clandestine civilization of Native American mice, with a sweet little gal reminiscent of Pocahontas to provide a little romance to boot. This may be a direct-to-video offering, but the quality is topnotch--animation is rich and lush, and the original tunes are fun and catchy. Moreover, the movie stresses such welcome notions as loyalty, family, affection, friendship, honesty, and honor. There's even a modest but effectively put message about who really belongs in America. Dom DeLuise, Party of Five's Lacey Chabert, and David Carradine lend their voices to the production. (Ages 2 and older) --N.F. Mendoza

I love an american tail 3

I watched this movie and i really like it.Its cool,fun and exciting.I can watch it over and over.I think anyone should enjoy this movie.

A cut below the others, but still great

For various reasons, I refuse to watch Disney cartoons, and until my two-year-old figures out how to get somebody to rent them for her, she won't see any either. The *American Tail* series is one of the few great options left.

This installment is neither as well drawn nor as musically satisfying as its predecessors, but it may well be my favorite cartoon movie now.

Of course, that's because I *like* the "political correctness" that one reviewer derided. I think that immigrant laborers and Native Americans, struggling for their place in an unforgiving City, make far better heroes than princesses and princes waiting for their divine rights to be recognized.

If workers'/aboriginal rights seem like kind of a drag to you, then you may want to head over to the *Lion King*; I'm sure Disney will be happy to take your money. If you'd prefer that your kids grow up with the (true) idea that America's story is more complicated than it first appears, this movie will be a great start.

And it's not like your kids will be bored with it. Since the DVD arrived three days ago, my daughter has frequently arisen from her nap already asking for 'mouse.' She likes Fievel and Papa just plenty, and I like the fact that she still has no idea who Mickey is.
