An American Tail: The Mystery of the Night Monster (2000)

Recapturing some of the magic of the original film, An American Tail: The Mystery of the Night Monster is a fun adventure. In this chapter Fievel teams up with a local reporter who's attempting to uncover the truth behind a number of monster sightings throughout the city. With the voice talents of Thomas Dekker, Lacey Chabert, and Dom DeLuise, the performances are pretty good. And as usually, there are a couple of catchy, lighthearted musical numbers. However, the animation is mediocre, and lacks the depth and color that the first two films had. Though it's not quite up to theatrical standards, An American Tail: The Mystery of the Night Monster is a whimsical family film that's sure to entertain.
