Sick Product of a Sick System
Redundant and unnecessary.
Brilliant and touching
The acting in this movie is really good.
Out of movie sequels and generally in sequels especially to Don Bluth's films like the god awful atrocious Secret of Nimh 2 to the mediocre Bartok the magnificent and then All dogs go to heaven 2 but unlike any of these sequels Fievel goes West succeeds and is about as good as the original American Tail of course when this movie was released in December 1991 it was released with Disney's Beauty and the Beast so yeah we kinda of know what happened there. But anyway the movie has a lot of excitement for Kids and Adults in this feature because in the first film they used the 19th century Tsar Russia against the Jews and in the sequel its the Jews against the Nazis but it goes away from its Jewish counterpart I mean the place they are given hope is mainly to trick them into labour and then execution but other than that the story might not be the strongest but the characters are funny and likeable especially Tiger played by Dom Deluise. The animation is spectacular and the backgrounds are amazing. The adults have a lot to like about this movie the humour at points is very adult and sometimes it can be to much for kids like the scene were Cat R Waul gets uptight with the lady and slips on her boobs and the camera zooms but most of the time its appropriate for the family and Tiger has a lot of Loony Tunes kinda of jokes which are funny. The adults also get the western cinematography that will remind them of classic western films and the last performance of a great actor Jimmy Stewart of a retired an old sheriff dog. But what else is there to say the music from James Horner and the three songs in this movie are upbeat epic and fun. So parents if you want to watch something that you will enjoy with your kids that is not the Emoji movie or nut job or minions then this is definitely worth it and trust me this one of the best animated sequels out there and I wish there would be more Western animated films you will enjoy it.
This is a lively adventure. A great family film that everyone should see. The animation is very good filled with lots of movement and speed. the film has both physical and verbal comedy. The best thing about the movie is without a doubt the villain played by John Cleese because it,s well John Cleese anything he's in is going to be a ton of fun. He is a fantastic comedian and actor. John Cleese turned down the role as Cogsworth in Beauty and the Beast to play this role. John Cleese as Cogsworth would have been amazing. But he is great in this movie, and it would not have been half as good without him. Amy Irving is also in the film playing a saloon singer and and her voice fits perfectly. James Stewart is also on hand in his last role as an old sheriff. But even though he is good in the role, his part is relatively small. I could take or leave the cat Tiger played by Dom DeLuise(Robin Hood: Men in Tights ,The Twelve Chairs )His character never did much for me and the subplot with the Indians felt unnecessary.The animation is very good as I said before bringing the old west perfectly to life while also having some good slapstick.All in all a very good family film that both you and your children should see,well made and fun. Also although I have not seen the Swedish dubbing, I'm sure it's very good because it is written and directed by the Queen of animated dubs Doreen Denning who has done many of the best Swedish dubs of animated movies ever. So if you are a Swedish parent, you can feel safe to show the movie to your children. The dubbing is undoubtedly very good
Review of An American Tale (Gone Western): I didn't like the first and original film based on the same characters. This one certainly did less for me. I remember being bored out of my mind while watching this (as a child). Maybe adults will find it cute, but I didn't like it at all, and I was in my early teens when I saw it.Review of An American Tale: I could never get into this film as a child, and I had trouble relating to the characters. It was a sad story, but the sadness just seemed to make me cringe-especially when the mice started to sing about it. I just couldn't get into this film.These were not my favourite Disney films. I'd recommend Bambi, Lady and The Tramp, and some of the others.
When I look back on my childhood, I think of fond, fuzzy memories, often linked with good movies. The Jungle Book, Peter Pan, really any animated movie will do, especially Disney. For some reason, these movies capture what it means to be a kid, to have fun. What we have hear is one of those funny, heartwarming treasures that will light up a child's face when he or she sees it.In An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, Fievel Mousekewitz and his family are tricked into leaving the big city in the hopes of finding freedom "way out west". Little do they know that the evil feline Cat R. Waul (John Cleese) is behind this. With the help of his friend Tiger (Dom DeLuise) and sheriff Wiley Burp (Jimmy Stewart), this trio will try and take down Cat R. Waul and his gang of villainous cats.This well animated sequel to An American Tail is one that will bring a smile to anyones face. Clever humor that appeals to little kids is found throughout. This movie is one that will become an instant classic in your collection. It can be passed down from generation to generation. Granted, this isn't a movie that will be watched late at night by you and your buddies. This movie does what it's supposed to do, entertain the little ones. Your children will have you rewinding over and over again (thank God for DVD's!).
