An American Tail: Fievel Goes West | comment |
An American Tail: Fievel Goes West is the first sequel to An American Tail. It was released through Universal on November 22, 1991.Picking up some years after the events of the first film, the Mousekewitz family are disillusioned with living in New York, with the final straw being a cat attack on their alley home. After the villain, Cat R. Waul, tricks them and a crowd of other mice into buying train tickets to a small town in the West via using a mouse puppet, the family boards a train to The Wild West. But, echoing the tone of disillusionment in the first film, it turns out the town of Green River is a Dying Town, and Cat R. Waul had more nefarious motives for bringing the mice there. Fievel is the only one who overheard Waul's plans, and no one who will believe him except for a washed-up former hero sheriff, Wylie Burp (voiced by none other than James Stewart in his final film role).The film marked the debut of Amblimation, the newly-created animation arm of Steven Spielberg's studio Amblin Entertainment. Directing duties were handed to Phil Nibbelink and Simon Wells rather than Don Bluth, who had produced the first film with Spielberg, kicking off the trend of sequels to Don Bluth films which he had absolutely no involvement in (the glut of Land Before Time sequels was only three years away). Due to Spielberg's popularity and the franchise being more closely associated with him than Bluth, this is also one of only two sequels to a Bluth film to receive a theatrical release rather than be Direct to Video (the other being All Dogs Go to Heaven 2).The break-off from Bluth, combined with Spielberg having just produced the slapstick-heavy Who Framed Roger Rabbit, resulted in this film being significantly less bleak and more comedic in tone than the original. The later direct-to-video sequels throw a veil doubt over the canonicity to the original, with the Mousekewitz family living back in New York and Fievel mentioning he "dreamed" that he moved west, but the truth of the matter seems to have been left up to Fanon.Also of note, this film spawned a very short-lived animated series, Fievel's American Tails. | |

Age Lift: Tanya is aged up in this film, whereas she was closer to Fievel's age in the first film. Justified given a fair amount of time has passed and she probably hit puberty before Fievel has. | |

An American Tail: Fievel Goes West / int_18151657 | comment |
Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony: The opening ceremony for Cat R. Waul's saloon is a trap: cutting the ribbon would have triggered a giant mousetrap right onto the stands where the mice were sitting. | |

Gone Horribly Right | |
An American Tail: Fievel Goes West / int_1994ba0b | comment |
Gone Horribly Right: Cat R. Waul's long game hinges upon playing up Green River as a utopia where Cats and Mice live alongside each other in peace and harmony. By the ending of the film, he and the Cat Cactus Gang are all driven out of town. This leaves Tiger and Miss Kitty as the only cats left in Green River — both of whom are openly friendly with mice (Fievel and Tanya especially). So, in a roundabout way, Cat R. Waul did end up turning Green River into an actual Cat-Mouse utopia. | |

The Cameo | |
An American Tail: Fievel Goes West / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: Tony and Bridget can be seen very briefly in a few scenes. The most noticeable examples are during the early cat attack sequence, and when the mice arrive in Green River and move in. They can also be seen in the crowd in the sewer, and in the audience sitting in the giant mousetrap, but in those scenes they are extremely Off-Model and thus can't really be distinguished without using freeze-frame. Honest John is seen in "Way Out West" as one of the politicians. | |

Evil Power Vacuum: Downplayed. While not technically pointed out in the film itself, the defeat and exile of the Mott Street Maulers makes it easier for Cat R. Waul and the Cactus Cat Gang to move in on Warren T. Cat's former territory to conduct their long game. If it hadn't been them, it almost certainly would've been another faction of cats. | |

False Flag Operation | |
An American Tail: Fievel Goes West / int_2dddd99d | comment |
False Flag Operation: Cat R. Waul's plan. The main story starts when the cat gang terrorize all the mice in New York, leading to them taking refuge in the sewers where they meet a cowboy mouse (actually Cat R. Waul using a marionette) who convinces them that Green River is a utopia where cats and mice get along. It works and hundreds of mice – including Fievel's family – move out West where the cats maintain the facade to not only get Waul's business up and running but also to put themselves in a perfect position to kill all the mice at once so they can eat them. | |

An American Tail: Fievel Goes West / int_3f6b4b04 | comment |
Just the Way You Are: This is the moral of Tanya Mousekewitz's subplot. She gets a makeover so she can sing at Waul's saloon, but after discovering Waul is actually evil and tried to kill every mouse in Green River, she remembers what her friend Miss Kitty told her, that the real woman is what's underneath the mask, and she washes her make-up off. Also, in a related play on this trope, Fievel realizes he can be a hero just the way he is. | |

I Want My Mommy!: Tiger gives a comedic example, casually invoking the trope when he's trapped on a flagpole. Dramatic example for Fievel; he cries for his parents when he's picked up by a hawk. | |

Be Yourself: It's what both Fievel and Tanya learn by the end, and it's shown that they've learned it more through action than words; i.e. Tanya washing her makeup off and Fievel turning his hat right-side-in so it's blue again and not a cowboy hat. Tiger goes back to acting like a cat once he saved the day. | |

Waul, who plots to eat the mice in town except for Tanya because he’s entranced by her singing voice. | |

Pathetic Drooping Weapon: When Tiger, Wylie Burp and Fievel return to Green River to rescue the mice population from being killed on a disguised mousetrap, they, of course, encounter resistance. After Tiger proves his prowess with a slingshot, he faces off with one of Cat R. Waul's Cactus Cat gang members, who produces a slingshot with six elastic bands. Somehow, Tiger's slingshot turns cartoonishly rubber and goes limp at the very sight of it, with Tiger himself giving a scared-out-of-his-wits sheepish grin. | |

Freeze-Frame Bonus: Just as Cat R. Waul is picking Tanya up in his paws while she sings "Dreams to Dream", one of the animators snuck in a lewd drawing for a single frame, where she has her mouth open. Hilariously Universal Studios was apparently unaware of this for more than 25 years, until the Blu-Ray release finally erased it. A more innocuous example occurs at the beginning of that scene - when Cat R. Waul first hears Tanya singing, his ear extends with a treble clef appearing for a brief second as he's captivated by her voice. | |

He Knows Too Much: After Fievel inadvertently discovers Cat R. Waul's plan to trick the mice into believing they are good and eating them alive when their guard is down, instead of eating him, he has his henchman Chula knock him off of the train into the badlands, in hopes that he won't be able to find his way to Green River and likely die. Fortunately for Fievel, he manages to get back to his family again. Averted by the midpoint of the movie as Cat R. Waul doesn't care if Fievel knows his plan because by that time, all the mice citizens have taken his story hook line and sinker, taunting Fievel to go ahead and tell the mice what he knows because it doesn't matter. He's right and no one believes Fievel. | |

"Leaving the Nest" Song: The song "Way Out West" is sung as the mice leave overcrowded, crime-ridden, and cat-filled New York City to settle the western US. Fueled by Cat R. Waul's pie-in-the-sky propaganda, it's overblown and optimistic to ridiculous degrees...but it's not all that different from actual "Go West" propaganda of the era. Upon arrival, the mice immediately realize that the Old West isn't what was promised to them, but they remain hopeful and make a go of life there anyway. | |

Vague Age | |
An American Tail: Fievel Goes West / int_7f080f98 | comment |
Vague Age: Figuring out how old Fievel and Tanya are can be very confusing. Tanya, for example, suddenly looks much older than Fievel, while in the first movie, she looked around the same age as Fievel. And if we are to believe it's been a few years since the first movie, why is Yasha still a baby? | |

Establishing Character Moment | |
An American Tail: Fievel Goes West / int_7febc23b | comment |
Establishing Character Moment: Cat R. Waul during the Cactus Cat Gang's opening attack early in the film. His orders and demeanor quickly establish him as being similar to Warren T. Cat in many respects, but also more cultured and pragmatic (and with a definite long game beyond acquiring mere profit). | |

An American Tail: Fievel Goes West / int_823c6e3e | comment |
Large Ham: Cat R. Waul. It helps to be voiced by someone like John Cleese. There's also Jon Lovitz as the psychotic spider Chula. He's actually the hammiest character of all since he has an high pitched No Indoor Voice and he's almost always hyperactive. | |

Watching the Sunset: While everyone else celebrate their victory over Cat R. Waul, Wylie goes to the arch near the Mitten Buttes to view the sunset, and Fievel gives him company. The old sheriff gives Fievel his badge to thank him for pulling him out of the gutter and gives him a speech that inspires the young mouse to be his own kind of a hero instead of aspiring to be one like Wylie.note The Passing the Torch analogue becomes especially poignant with the fact that Wylie was the last role of the veteran actor Jimmy Stewart before he passed away. | |

Didn't Think This Through: While it's not explicitly pointed out in the film, this is the big flaw of Cat R. Waul making Tanya his personal diva. Yes, his patronage and protection ensures Tanya will be spared from the endgame...but, she'll still have a balcony seat for the culling. Did Cat R. Waul really think his diva was just going to be able to overlook the fact that her patron had just turned her entire family into Mouseburgers? | |

Tony and Bridget can be seen very briefly in a few scenes. The most noticeable examples are during the early cat attack sequence, and when the mice arrive in Green River and move in. They can also be seen in the crowd in the sewer, and in the audience sitting in the giant mousetrap, but in those scenes they are extremely Off-Model and thus can't really be distinguished without using freeze-frame. | |

Xanatos Gambit | |
An American Tail: Fievel Goes West / int_c32ff031 | comment |
Xanatos Gambit: Downplayed, but Cat R. Waul's Pragmatic Villainy in having Chula toss Fievel from the train. If Fievel doesn't survive the fall, it looks like a tragic accident with none the wiser (especially his family; to them, it would just seem Fievel didn't learn anything from the first film and went off for some foolish nighttime exploring again). If he does survive the fall, Fievel's still stranded out in the middle of the desert with no water, food, or transportation (to say nothing of being one little kid mouse against the local predators). Of course, Cat R. Waul never anticipated the possibility Fievel might just actually survive against all odds and still make his way to Green River (not that it does him much good, since the Mice have all been taken in by Waul's PR campaign in the interim). | |

Aesop Amnesia | |
An American Tail: Fievel Goes West / int_c435ec5d | comment |
Aesop Amnesia: You'd think that Fievel would learn not to go wandering off on a transportation device he's not familiar with after what happened in the first movie. But he does, and once again gets separated from his family. You'd also think his mother would not jump to the conclusion that he's dead right away, after he turned out to be alive the last time he got separated from them. She does (though Papa assures her that Fievel will come back). Given Fievel's role in exposing the truth behind Warren T. Cat's protection racket (to say nothing of the downfall of the Mott Street Maulers), you'd think his family, let alone all the New York Mice who were there, might give his warnings some credence. | |

Sea of Sand | |
An American Tail: Fievel Goes West / int_c689efe5 | comment |
Sea of Sand: When Tiger falls off the train, he takes one look at the vast Southwest desert and bemoans his situation: "Lost and alone, in a million-acre catbox." The scene is mostly a sand plain, with towering rocks in the distance. It will later contain a spiny cactus, plus a Desert Skull part of a whole skeleton. Notably, in real life, the deserts of North America consist almost entirely of rock formations, rocky badlands and cactus-and-scrub brush — some sand seas exist, but they're small and isolated. | |

Shout-Out | |
An American Tail: Fievel Goes West / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: To Gunsmoke, with "Miss Kitty". When Miss Kitty leaves Tiger to go west, she tells him "We'll always have the Bronx" and "Here's lookin' at you, kid. The Rawhide theme plays when Fievel travels inside a tumbleweed. Also, many of the storefronts and signs in (the human-sized) Green River have the names of crew members on them, including both of the film's directors and several of the artists responsible for the background layouts. In addition, right before Fievel dispatches the villains, you can see a nameplate on the rear of the giant mousetrap (facing upside-down) which reads "Made in Acton, London" — which was the location of the animation studio where the film was produced. Cat R. Waul screams "Revenge!" as he is driven out of town on the train, similar to his character in the Dirty Fork sketch in Monty Python's Flying Circus. Another one involves a mouse mentioning various destinations (one while boarding, the other before narrowly escaping being eaten by Cat R. Waul) while closing each phrase with "...and Green River", likely an homage to Mel Blanc's famous Jack Benny Show Catchphrase of a train leaving for "...Anaheim, Azuza, and Cuc-amonga". The Tiger-shaped rock in the desert pulls a Cheshire Cat. The scene where Tanya imagines her worn out dress into a beautiful gown in the mirror parodies Cinderella. When Tiger is getting chased by all the dogs early on, he exclaims "Dogs! I hate those guys!" | |

Cassandra Truth: In the film's second half, everyone disregards Fievel's warnings about what Cat R. Waul's going to do to them. They assume he's suffering from heatstroke after being stranded out in the desert (on top of having been successfully taken in by Waul's PR campaign). Fortunately, Wylie Burp, being a reasonable former sheriff, believes Fievel and teams up with him. | |

Family-Friendly Firearms: Of the "real guns are OK as long as they aren't used to kill" variety. While there are some revolvers, those only get aimed at inanimate objects or aimed so badly they don't come close to hitting anyone. When the cats (and one dog) have their shootout, it's with slingshots that use bullet and ricochet sound effects. Cat R. Waul has a revolver that's mounted and used like a BFG, as it's too large for the cats to hold. | |

Chula and falls into a garbage can, trying to catch the Green River train leads him from one run-in with dogs to another, winds up being dragged for hundreds of miles behind a stagecoach and getting stranded in the middle of the desert, misses meeting up with Fievel because they both mistake the other for a mirage, and finally gets captured by Native American mice and nearly roasted alive. | |

Projectile Webbing: While Waul is welcoming some mice to the town of Green River, Chula is told to issue water. Being a recalcitrant fellow, Chula hocks a loogie at a newlywed couple, which forms an instant web, trapping them inside an old boot. Waul flicks away the webbing and continues his Affably Evil schmooze. | |
