Wikipedia article
'An American Tail: Fievel Goes West' (also known as 'An American Tail 2: Fievel Goes West' or 'An American Tail II') is a 1991 American animated Western comedy film directed by Phil Nibbelink and Simon Wells (in their feature directorial debuts), with producer Steven Spielberg for Amblin Entertainment and animated by his Amblimation animation studio and released by Universal Pictures. A sequel to 1986's 'An American Tail', the film follows the story of the Mousekewitzes, a family of Jewish-Ukrainian mice who emigrate to the Wild West. In it, Fievel is separated from his family as the train approaches the American Old West; the film chronicles him and Sheriff Wylie Burp teaching Tiger how to act like a dog.
'Fievel Goes West' was the first production for the short-lived Amblimation, a studio Spielberg set up to keep the animators of 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' (1988) working. It's also the only Amblimation film to use cel animation, the last in the series to do so, and the last to be released in theaters. While the animation medium was transitioning to computers in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Spielberg wanted almost all of the animation of 'Fievel Goes West' to be hand-drawn, describing animation as "an arts-and-crafts business". He also wanted the animation to have a "live-action" feel. Phillip Glasser, Dom DeLuise, Nehemiah Persoff, and Erica Yohn reprise their roles from the first film for 'Fievel Goes West'. Tanya's original voice actor, Amy Green, was replaced by Cathy Cavadini, and new characters were voiced by John Cleese, Amy Irving, Jon Lovitz, and James Stewart in his final film role. James Horner returned as a composer and wrote the film's song "Dreams to Dream", which garnered a Golden Globe nomination.
Premiering at the Kennedy Center on November 17, 1991, 'An American Tail: Fievel Goes West' began its American theatrical run on November 22. This was the same day Walt Disney Pictures' 'Beauty and the Beast' (1991) was distributed, making it the third instance of two animated films being released on the same date. 'Fievel Goes West' was promoted with a wide array of tie-ins and started in the top ten at the box office. The film grossed $22 million in the United States against a budget of $16 million. Some film journalists and executives attributed this to having to compete with the Disney film.
Upon its release, 'Fievel Goes West' was panned for a lack of perceived innovation compared to other animated films of its time. However, it found success when it came to home video sales, quickly reaching the top of the video charts when released on tape in March 1992; at the time, the film held the record for shortest theater-to-home-video transfer and it has since gained a large cult following. In addition to garnering more home media releases, TV airings, and video game adaptations later on, the film has made numerous 2010s retrospective best-of lists from online publications, especially best Netflix-available Western films. 'Fievel Goes West' was followed by a short-lived CBS series named 'Fievel's American Tails' and two direct-to-video sequels and prequels: 'An American Tail: The Treasure of Manhattan Island' (1998) and 'An American Tail: The Mystery of the Night Monster' (1999).
Plot
In 1890, five years after immigrating to the United States, the impoverished Mousekewitz family discovers that conditions are not as ideal as they had hoped, as they find themselves still struggling against the attacks of mouse-hungry cats. Fievel spends his days thinking about a bloodhound-sheriff named Wylie Burp, while Tanya dreams of becoming a singer. Meanwhile, Tiger's girlfriend, Miss Kitty, leaves him to find a new life out west, remarking that perhaps she is looking for "a cat that's more like a dog".
A British aristocratic cat named Cat R. Waul launches an attack on the mice, forcing them to flee into the sewers. There, they come across a cowboy mouse, who is in fact a marionette controlled by Cat R. Waul, who tricks the mice into moving to a better life out west. Tiger tries catching up with his friends, but is thrown off course by a group of dogs. While on the train, Fievel wanders into the livestock car, where he overhears the cats' intentions to turn the mice into "mouse burgers". After being discovered, Fievel tries to flee but Cat R. Waul has his hench-spider, T.R. Chula, strand Fievel in the middle of the desert. Devastated once again over his loss, his family arrives in Green River, Utah.
Upon arrival in Green River, Chula blocks up the water tower, drying up the river. Cat R. Waul approaches the mice and proposes to build a new saloon together, although intending to trick the mice into doing the bulk of the work and then eat them afterwards. Meanwhile, Fievel is wandering aimlessly through the desert, as is Tiger, who has found his way out west as well, and they pass each other. However, they each figure that the other is a mirage and continue on their separate ways. Tiger is captured by a local mouse native tribe and hailed as a god. Fievel is picked up by a hawk, dropped over the mouse native village and reunites with Tiger. Tiger chooses to stay in while Fievel catches a passing tumbleweed, which takes him to Green River. He reunites with his family, but they are oblivious to Cat R. Waul's plans. Entering the saloon, Fievel overhears the cats' plan yet again and is discovered once more by Cat R. Waul. Cat R. Waul tries eating Fievel, but is thwarted when he hears Tanya singing. He sends Tanya to Miss Kitty, who is now a saloon-girl cat and she reveals that she came at Cat R. Waul's request. He tells Miss Kitty to put her on stage and Tanya performs for the cats. Meanwhile, Fievel is chased by Chula and briefly taken prisoner, but flees.
Despondent, Fievel speaks with an elderly bloodhound sleeping outside the jail, discovering he is actually Wylie Burp. Fievel convinces him to help and train Tiger as a lawman and as a dog. Though initially reluctant, Tiger relents at the suggestion that a new persona might win back Miss Kitty. They return to Green River to fight the cats, who attempt to use a concealed giant mouse trap on the mice at sunset during the opening of Cat R. Waul's saloon. Tiger, Wylie and Fievel fight the cats, during which Miss Kitty and Tanya discover the trap. Tanya rushes to the mice and, using her singing abilities, helps them escape. Seeing this, Cat R. Waul uses a giant revolver as a makeshift cannon on the fleeing mice, but Wylie has Fievel intercept from Cat R. Waul's attacks. When Chula takes Miss Kitty hostage, however, an incensed Tiger rescues her and the heroes use the mouse trap as a catapult to send Cat R. Waul and his cats out of Green River. The cats fly into the air and land into a mailbag, which a passing train picks up and leaves.
Enamored by his new personality, Miss Kitty and Tiger are reunited. Tanya becomes a famous singer and the water tower flows with 1,000 gallons of water again, making Green River bloom with thousands of flowers. Fievel finds Wylie away from the party who hands him his sheriff badge. Fievel is unsure about taking it, but realizes that his journey is not over.

Production
Development
A sequel to Steven Spielberg's 'An American Tail' (1986) under the working title 'An American Tail II' was put into pre-production by David Kirschner in April 1988 after he finished producing 'Child's Play' (1988); when announcing the project that same month, he summarized that Fievel will "fight the cat-tle barons. It's like a John Ford western with Jewish mice". Kirschner started pre-production as Spielberg was setting up filming for 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade' (1989) in Europe. He was not involved in the production and post-production, and admitted in 1993 that he disliked 'Fievel Goes West' as "entertainment without character". The screenplay was written by Flint Dille, who was led to the position by writing for Spielberg's 'Tiny Toon Adventures' (199092).Spielberg produced the live-action animated film 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' (1988), which was the top grossing motion picture of 1988. As a way to keep the movie's animators working, due to the closure of Richard Williams Animation, Spielberg formed Amblimation, a collaboration of Universal City Studios and Amblin Entertainment, whose offices were located in London. 'Fievel Goes West' was its first production, and over 250 crew members from 15 different nations worked on the project starting May 1989. At the time, Amblimation was also developing 'We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story' (1993), 'Balto' (1995), and a screen adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'Cats' which never saw completion. In December 1988, Universal announced that they would release an animated film every eighteen months and begin production on 'An American Tail II' in early 1989.
Don Bluth, who had partnered with Spielberg on both the original film and 'The Land Before Time' (1988), was set to direct and have Sullivan Bluth Studios provide the animation; owing to creative differences, however, they parted ways. As Bluth explained, "the business deal wasn't such that it helped our company". With no Bluth in sight for the sequel, Spielberg instead relied on ex-Disney animator Phil Nibbelink and ex-Richard Williams storyboard artist Simon Wells, the great-grandson of science-fiction author H. G. Wells, to direct the project. Nibbelink and Wells had both previously worked with Spielberg as supervising animators on 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit'. Bluth stated in April 1992 that he regretted his decision, admitting that he disliked the final product of 'Fievel Goes West' and "maybe we could've helped that film a little more".
With John Cleese as the first choice for Cat R. Waul, he was approached in 1989 by one of the film's producers at what Cleese vaguely called "the Italian Oscars". He accepted the offer based on his enjoyment of the first 'American Tail' and "I love sound studios anyway there's none of the hassle and boredom and time wasting you get in television". Cleese was paid his lowest fee in ten years for the role, however, which made him very unwilling to publicize his involvement with 'Fievel Goes West'. According to Cathy Cavadini, there was another woman initially planned to voice Tanya but left the project, so Cavadini replaced her. Spielberg met James Stewart at a party asking him to voice Wylie Burp, and all of Stewart's lines were recorded in ten days; his last involvement in a Western was in 'The Shootist' (1976).
Animation
Don Bluth's departure from the project resulted in the animation of 'Fievel Goes West' lacking the Disney-isms of the first film's animation. Instead, its animation is faster paced and contains more elements of Warner Bros. cartoons. Spielberg instructed his animators to take on a "live-action" method to animating the film, where the characters are affected by parts of the environment such as lighting. Spielberg also directed for the camera to constantly move in sequences such as the sewer ride sequence and a 360-degree pan shot of the film's desert vista. These types of crane and dolly shots replicated certain shots in Spielberg's 'Jaws' (1975) and 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' (1981) and were considered groundbreaking for the time.
Apart from one computer-generated shot of the valley's ground, all of the film was hand-drawn animated; the process was so intensive that it took at least one week to complete a minute of animation, around sixty artists to paint approximately 230,000 cels, and a week for a single animator to finish three seconds of animation. As 'Fievel Goes West' was a parody of Western films, the animators heavily studied the works of John Ford and Sergio Leone.
Sound design
The voices were recorded over a 10-day period at Interlock Studios (now Larson Studios) at Crossroads of the World in Los Angeles in 1989; ten takes were tracked for each actor at varying speeds and phrasing. The voice actors were videotaped during their recording sessions, and the animators used the footage as reference for moving the characters. The biggest focus was on keeping Cat R. Waul's movement similar to his voice actor's while recording in the studio, as the directors wanted him to feel like Cleese instead of just a cat voiced by him. Nancy Beiman originally worked as a regular animator on 'Fievel Goes West', but became a supervisor on the project six months after she entered Amblimation. While not assigned to supervise Miss Kitty's animation, she asked for the position and got it. She enjoying working on Kitty for Irving's Mae West-esque delivery and the "scatterbrained dialogue" giving her freedom in animating the character.Music
The score was composed by James Horner, who previously scored for 'the last movie' (1986) also produced by Spielberg. The album was released by MCA Records and featured 14 tracks, including four original songs written by Horner and Will Jennings, and performed by Linda Ronstadt and Cathy Cavadini. The song "Dreams to Dream", was nominated for a Golden Globe award and a contender by the Academy Award voters for a Best Original Song nomination, although it did not receive one.
Marketing and release
before its nationwide theatrical release.
'Fievel Goes West' was initially planned for a fall 1990 release, but it was delayed to a late 1991 date. In 1989, the date was moved again to Christmas 1992 before reverting to Christmas 1991 in May 1990, when the subtitle 'Fievel Goes West' and a follow-up television series was also first announced. Search on [http://nl.newsbank.com Newsbank.com]. Retrieved December 1, 2019. It was moved to the fall of 1991 in November 1990. It made its worldwide premiere at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts as their big children's theatre recital performance, on November 17, 1991, where 275 inner-city kids that were guests of Fannie Mae's company attended the event; the children also made their own 'American Tail' storybook and posed with a costume version of Fievel for pictures. Notable adult attendees includes Chuck Robb, Lynda Bird Johnson Robb, Al Gore, Marvin Bush, Margaret Bush, Fred Grandy, Elliot Richardson, and Robert Haft.
Both 'Fievel Goes West' and Disney's 'Beauty and the Beast' (1991) began their United States theater runs on November 22, 1991; this was the third instance of two animated films being released on the same day, after 'The Land Before Time' and 'Oliver & Company' in 1988, and 'The Little Mermaid' and 'All Dogs Go to Heaven' in 1989. 'Boston Herald' noted the clash as "a testimony to the revival of interest in feature-length animation". Along with competing with an unusual number of family films with middling budgets such as 'The Addams Family', 'Curly Sue', 'My Girl', and Spielberg's 'Hook'; both 'Beauty and the Beast' and 'Fievel Goes West' were promoted with, as of the films' release date, the most expensive set of film tie-ins ever.
40 brands licensed with Universal to promote the film, including the non-profit Reading Is Fundamental, which used the character of Fievel as a mascot for 'Reading Buddies' kits; and Pizza Hut, which used characters from the film on designs their Pizza Packs and soft-drink cups, a decision influenced by their previous tie-in success with the Disney summer film 'The Rocketeer' (1991). Upon the film's release, Universal Studios Tour opened the attraction 'Mouse Trap', a 2,500-seat interactive version of 'Fievel Goes West'. In the summer of 1992, Universal Studios Florida opened 'American Tail: Fievel's Playland', a playground featuring set recreations of 'An American Tail' and 'Fievel Goes West'. Boxtress also released an illustrated book version of the film written by Cathy East Dubowski and Beverly Lazor-Bahr.
Reception
Box office
Amblin Entertainment previously competed with Disney twice: in 1986 when the first 'American Tail' competed with a re-issue of 'Lady and the Tramp' (1955) and in 1988 when it released 'The Land Before Time' around the same time as 'Oliver & Company'. Amblin won both races; Fred Mound, Universal distribution president, said: "We've proven in the past that there's room for two animated features". Tom Pollock, a Universal chairman, also had faith 'Fievel Goes West' would perform well. Spielberg and Disney's Dick Cook suggested both films would be hits, although Spielberg predicted 'Beauty and the Beast' to make more profits due to having more of an adult appeal than 'Fievel Goes West'. Disney chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg stated in regards to the competition: "We've competed with Amblin before and learned that there's enough room for both. These movies aren't mutually exclusive. There's a big market out there. The success of one doesn't depend on the failure of the other".
Opening to 1,400 theaters in the United States, 'Fievel Goes West' has, as of November 30, 2019, the 110th widest G-rated release of all time and the 96th widest G-rated film opening in the United States. It also has the 124th all-time biggest opening weekend for a G-rated film, opening in fourth place with $3,435,625; and has 60th smallest weekend drop for a film in 600-plus theaters thanks to its second week grossing $3,782,080. However, it also holds the record of the 119th post-thanksgiving weekend drops. 'Fievel Goes West' eventually made just over $22 million domestically, and $18 million overseas, for a total of $40,766,041;. Retrieved May 26, 2007. making it the 15th highest-grossing film of 1991 in the United States and the 37th highest grosser of the year worldwide. As of December 1, 2019, it is the 141st highest domestic-grossing G-rated film of all time and 123rd worldwide. By contrast, the original film made $47.4 million in the U.S. in 1986, a record at the time for a non-Disney animated one, and a further $36 million overseas, for a total of $84 million.. Retrieved May 26, 2007.
According to 'The Washington Post', 'Fievel Goes West' tied with 'For the Boys' (1991) for "the dubious if unofficial distinction of the fastest failure of a big-budget holiday movie". Some journalists and film executives attributed the film's weak box office to the intense competition it faced with 'Beauty and the Beast'. However, it wasn't competing with the Disney production in Canada, and it failed there too according to a Universal executive, who also blamed Spielberg's lack of involvement in the marketing due to being too busy on 'Hook'. Another official of the company explained that he had little faith in the project, describing it as "charmless" and its animation "pedestrian". Other writers blamed it on the content. Dennis Hunt suggested "the complex story line and the scary villains didn't quite click with the kiddies", and Bernard Weinraub wrote that "even children were not especially interested in an old-fashioned animated movie". Steven Hulett of the union Motion Picture Screen Cartoonists opined that the low performances of both 'Fievel Goes West' and 'We're Back!: A Dinosaur Story' (1993) resulted from the poor quality of their stories, "and animation is a story-driven art form". He attributed this to Spielberg's busy schedule, meaning he didn't have enough time to focus on animation.
Critical response
'An American Tail: Fievel Goes West' holds a 57% critical percentage on Rotten Tomatoes based on 14 reviews.. Retrieved July 5, 2021. Peter M. Nichols wrote 'Fievel Goes West' "was panned on the ground that it was not so innovative as other new animated films, notably 'Beauty and the Beast' from Disney, the leader in animation". Multiple reviewers lambasted 'Fievel Goes West''Time Out London' published an ecstatic review of 'Fievel Goes West': "Miles better than the overrated 'American Tail', this laugh-packed sequel boasts all the classic elements so often missing from modern cartoon features: a straightforward zip-zang-boom storyline, clearly etched characters with instantly identifiable flaws, tip-top voice-overs by well-chosen celebrities, and oodles of elasticated slapstick". The 'Orlando Sentinel' wrote that the main plot is "left underdeveloped" amid "numerous subplots". Unlike other critics, Cortney Thekan appreciated the huge amount of subplots: "I mean, we all know the attention span of a 4-year-old. Full-length cartoons need the subplots to hold children's attention". 'The Washington Post' praised it for being "quick, vivid and a real hoot to viewers of any age", but also noted its wonky setup, saying that "the family is tricked into a cross-country quest by a fast-talking fake mouse [...] Not only are the marionette's strings fully visible during Cat R. Waul's spiel, but the cat can be seen through a sewer grate. Stupid mice!" 'Halliwell's Film Guide' labeled 'Fievel Goes West' as an "enjoyable and high-spirited animated film that borrows plot and attitudes from classic Westerns". Roger Ebert gave it two-and-a-half stars out of four and wrote: "There is nothing really the matter with 'An American Tail: Fievel Goes West', except that it is not inspired with an extra spark of imagination in addition to its competent entertainment qualities".
Most critics found the animation high-quality in general. The 'Chicago Tribune'
'Entertainment Weekly' named it one of the best children's films of 1991 alongside 'Beauty and the Beast' and 'Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken' (1991); and 'The Seattle Times' honored it as one of 1991's "Best arguments for sequels" alongside 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day', 'Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey', and 'The Naked Gun 2: The Smell of Fear'. In a 1993 newspaper feature about portrayals of females in animated films, journalist Ann Doss Helms disliked how most animated women had no other characters of the same gender to motivate or guide them; the writer criticized how little attention Tanya's parents gave to her aspirations, but praised the advice Miss Kitty gave to Tanya, suggesting "there's hope that things are changing".
Later years
In the late 2010s, 'An American Tail: Fievel Goes West' was recognized on publication lists of best Netflix-available westerns, ranking in the top ten of lists by 'Paste' and 'The Daily Dot'. It was also number 24 on 'GameSpot'
In a 2017 '/Film' feature about Amblimation, Dalin Rowell highlighted the "cinematic" scale of its animation and opined that it "should be remembered for its creativity and willingness to be a bit more bold and daring than its predecessor". A 2016 review from Greg Jameson of 'Entertainment Focus' opined it "has less universal appeal than the original, because the themes aren't as rooted in human experience so it packs less of an emotional punch", but he nonetheless called it a fun film and praised its animation and voice acting.
Home media
'An American Tail: Fievel Goes West' received its first VHS and cassette release on March 19, 1992.
