AN AMERICAN TAIL: FIEVEL GOES WEST (Theatrical Release USA 1991)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.4|5.0 Starsììì

An American Tail: Fievel Goes West—not as high-spirited as An American Tail—seems to have lost the imaginative freshness of the first film in the series. The music and singing stand among the best in animation films, the animation is as good as the original film, but it just doesn’t have the entertainment value of the original story.

Storyline

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? 

Yes. Watchable for the songs. But, besides that, it seems to lose it in imagination.
