An American Tail (1986)
Member Rating:  
An American Tail is a beautifully rendered animated flim that tells an overly familiar story in terms children can easily understand. Fievel Mousekewitz and his family of Russian-Jewish mice escape from their homeland in the late 1800s, boarding a boat headed toward America to evade the Czarist rule of the Russian cats. Fievel, however, is separated from his family upon his arrival in New York City, and he discovers to his horror that there are cats in America too (his father said there weren't). Fievel meets his share of friendly and hostile mice, and he eventually befriends a cat as well. Former Disney animator Don Bluth co-produced and directed this often heartwarming yarn, the first animated feature presented by Steven Spielberg, and it has its charms despite a number of cliché situations. ~ Don Kaye, Rovi

This movie was 100-times better than I thought it would be. Very kid-friendly version of the immigrants coming to America during the 18th and 19th centuries - and presented a history lesson with fun, animated characters.

I watched this movie multiple times as a kid, and here as a 23 year old I find myself watching it again. Good for nostalgia, and good for kids nowadays too.
