Adorable, heartwarming tale of immigrant mouse.

Cartoons with ambitions even this noble are as rare as Steven Spielberg films that lose money, but every character and every situation presented herein have been seen a thousand times before.

The overall quality of the animation -- baroquely executed if rather conventionally conceived -- makes it worth a look
September 10, 2008 | Full Review… -
For all its state-of-the-art animation techniques, Spielberg's production remains resolutely conservative: visually it's virtually indistinguishable from Walt at his wimpiest.

Mar 20, 2014One of my favorite movie when I was a young boy.Marc-André B Super Reviewer

Feb 07, 2014From Steven Spielberg and Don Bluth comes the animated classic An American Tail. Brilliantly written as a turn of the century period piece about a family of mice that immigrate to America, the film does an excellent job at using the New York City setting to thematically represent the American Dream. Additionally, the musical numbers are charming and whimsical; featuring the hit single "Somewhere Out There." The animation is also extraordinarily well-done, with rich texture and fluid motion. A wonderful family film, An American Tail has an inspirational message for all ages.Dann M Super Reviewer
