Story

The film starts off on Chanukah in 1885, opening in the village of Shostka, Russia, and it shows the story of the life of a family of Jewish-Russian mice who emigrate to escape a pogrom after their village is destroyed by Cossack raiders. Believing in the American dream they head to New York City because "there are no cats in America." Once there, they immediately discover that there are indeed cats in America and plenty of them, and begin living in a typical late 19th century immigrant manner: working in a sweatshop, living in horrible conditions, and submitting to a feline protection racket as an alternative to being eaten.

The film follows Fievel Mousekewitz (his first name comes from that of Steven Spielberg's grandfather), who is separated from his family during a storm as the boat approaches America; the movie chronicles Fievel's search for his family, and his struggle against the cats, including their money hungry leader, Warren T. Rat, a cat who disguises himself as a rat. The mice must call upon the strength of their legends from the Old Country, in particular the Giant Mouse of Minsk, to rout the cats and make a better life for themselves.

As the film starts off on Chanukah (which is in November or December) in 1885, the Mousekevitz family probably needs several months before even arriving on America's shores (boarding from Hamburg, Germany), and we see the process of building the Statue of Liberty until its completion, the plot of An American Tail obviously takes place mostly in the year 1886 rather than in 1885.

Background

An American Tail is an allegory for the terrible conditions immigrants to the United States faced at the turn of the century (the mice represent the Jewish immigrants, and the cats their antisemitic tormentors) and the film is similar in this respect to Art Spiegelman's graphic novel Maus. It also illustrates the hope (of a new, better life) that America represented to these immigrants at that time. The history of the Jews in the United States comprises a theological dimension, with a three-way division into Orthodox, Conservative and Reform. ... Antisemitism (alternatively spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism) is discrimination, hostility or prejudice directed at Jews[1] as a religious, racial, or ethnic group. ... Art Spiegelman (born February 15, 1948) is an American comics artist, editor, and advocate for the medium of comics, best known for his Pulitzer Prize-winning comic memoir, Maus. ... Maus: A Survivors Tale is a memoir presented as a graphic novel by Art Spiegelman. ...

The ethnic and even religious backgrounds of characters are made somewhat starker than is normal in animation. This is most true in the case of Fievel's family, but it is also true with other characters. For example, characters discuss their lives "back home" in Ireland, Sicily, Eastern Europe, and elsewhere (the Sicilian mouse describes how his mother went to beg for mercy from Mafia cats that had taken his brother, only to be killed herself, with her rosary thrown to the ground in the process). Later, a dead mouse is shown clutching a rosary and a cross. An ethnic group or ethnicity is a population of human beings whose members identify with each other, either on the basis of a presumed common genealogy or ancestry[1], or recognition by others as a distinct group[2], or by common cultural, linguistic, religious, or territorial traits. ... Various Religious symbols, including (first row) Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Bahai, (second row) Islamic, tribal, Taoist, Shinto (third row) Buddhist, Sikh, Hindu, Jain, (fourth row) Ayyavazhi, Triple Goddess, Maltese cross, pre-Christian Slavonic Religion is the adherence to codified beliefs and rituals that generally involve a faith in a spiritual...

Pre-1989 division between the West (grey) and Eastern Bloc (orange) superimposed on current national boundaries: Russia (dark orange), other countries of the former USSR (medium orange),members of the Warsaw pact (light orange), and other former Communist regimes not aligned with Moscow (lightest orange). ... Our Lady of Lourdes - Mary appearing at Lourdes with Rosary beads. ... The traditional form of the Western Christian cross, known as the Latin cross. ...

Art Spiegelman has in fact publicly accused Spielberg of plagiarism due to the fact the Jews are depicted as mice in An American Tail just as in Spiegelman's earlier Maus, a metaphor Spiegelman had adopted from Nazi propaganda.^[1] Even though Maus appeared collected not sooner than in 1986 just as the film, it had been printed as a series in Raw magazine years before that.

Characters

Note: These character descriptions are based on this film only, and do not contain information from later films in the series. The actors/actresses who voiced the characters are shown in parentheses.

Fievel Mousekewitz (Phillip Glasser)

Fievel Mousekewitz and Henri the pigeon, shortly after Fievel arrives in New York City.

The story's central character, Fievel is modeled on a curious, hyperactive and seemingly fearless boy. However, throughout most of the film, while separated from his family Fievel becomes as a very scared and lost child in a strange land, given hope and encouragement by the friends (Henri the Pigeon, Tony, Bridget and Tiger the vegetarian cat) he meets on his search. Tony and some of the other American mice call him 'Philly'. Philip Glasser is an American actor born and raised in Tarzana, California, in October 4, 1978. ... Image File history File links AnAmericanTailScreen. ... Image File history File links AnAmericanTailScreen. ...

Fievel is always drawn with an oversized red jumper and blue hat somewhat too big for his head (it fits at the end of the film). The hat is an heirloom of sorts, having been passed from father to son for three generations (Feivel is the fourth to wear it). Except for a brief period near the story's end, Feivel never loses the hat through all his adventures and scrapes. ...

There might be some controversy about the correct spelling of the boy mouse's name. The credits spell him as Fievel which is actually the correct Yiddish spelling^[2][3][4] (see also Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz and Feivel Gruberger) as Yiddish is based largely on German, including its spelling rules. However, many English-speaking writers have come to adopt the spelling Fievel (with reversed i and first e) especially for this character; it was this spelling which was used on the film's poster, in promotional materials and tie-in merchandise, and in the title of the sequel An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, while in the credits of the first film, the correct spelling is employed. Feivel was named specifically after Spielberg's own immigrant grandfather. It can be assumed his last name is a play on the Jewish-Russian last name "Moskowitz", the name of the human occupants of the house Feivel's family is living under in the beginning of the film. Yiddish (ייִדיש, Jiddisch) is a Germanic language spoken by about four million Jews throughout the world. ... Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz was an early leader of American Orthodoxy and founder of key institutions of Torah Vodaath, a Yeshiva in Brooklyn, and Torah UMesorah, an outreach and educational organization. ... Philip Berg (original name Feivel Gruberger) is the leader and founder, together with his wife Karen Berg, of the modern Kabbalah Centre. ...

Tanya Mousekewitz (Amy Green)

Fievel's elder sister, she is drawn in a traditional Russian peasant girl's dress, including a red head kerchief (incorrectly called a "babushka" in the film) given to her on Hannukah at the beginning of the film. She is optimistic, cheerful and obedient. After Fievel was washed off the boat to America she continued to believe that her brother was alive, a hope fulfilled when Fievel was found at the end. She was given an American name 'Tillie' at the immigration point at Castle Garden on Ellis Island. Babushka (Russian: IPA  ) is a Russian word meaning grandmother, mother-in-law or more generally old lady. ... Chanukah (חנכה ḥănukkāh, or חנוכה ḥănūkkāh) is a Jewish holiday, also known as the Festival of lights. ... Castle Clinton or Fort Clinton is a circular sandstone fort and national monument in Battery Park at the southern tip of Manhattan, New York City. ... Ellis Island, at the mouth of the Hudson River in New York Harbor, was at one time the main entry facility for immigrants entering the United States from January 1, 1892 until November 12, 1954. ...

Tanya has two siblings, Fievel and Yasha.

The character was voiced by Betsy Cathcart for the song "Somewhere Out There".

Warren T. Rat (John Finnegan)

The main villain of the film's story, Warren T. is really a cat in rat's clothing and the leader of the Mott Street Maulers, a gang of cats who terrorize the mice of New York City. His name is a play on "warranty", hence his first name and middle letter. He pretends to the mice to be a rat liaison with the gang, receiving protection money for a 'warranty' on their safety, which often enough is violated anyway as can be seen by the frequent cat attacks perpetrated by his gang. The downfall of his feline empire comes when Feivel, lead into his hideout by Warren's violin thinking it was his papa playing it, discovers that Warren is in fact a cat. Warren and his gang chases Fievel across town to a pier after Tiger frees him, but fall into the trap the mice set up, and the Giant Mouse of Minsk they built forces them off a pier, and onto a boat headed for Hong Kong. Warren is accompanied nearly all the time by his accountant Digit, a small cockroach.

Warren T. plays the violin and quotes Shakespeare, both very badly.

Papa Mousekewitz (Nehemiah Persoff)

The head of the Mousekewitz family, Papa plays the violin and tells stories to his children. Too overcome with grief and believing his son to be dead after being lost at sea, he stubbornly refuses to search for Feivel after the family land in America. He tries to convince Tanya of that fact, however things change when he eventually meets Tony and Bridget, who show him Feivel's hat. Fievels American Tails is an animated television series, produced by Steven Spielbergs Amblimation animation studio, Nelvana, and Universal Studios. ... Nehemiah Persoff (born 1919, Jerusalem) is an actor. ... The violin is a bowed string instrument with four strings tuned in perfect fifths. ...

Two of his stories were realised later during Feivel's adventures, notably the Giant Mouse of Minsk, which was built as a giant mouse machine, the mice's secret weapon to drive the cats out of New York.

By his account during the sail to America, Papa's father was a cat victim and he woke up an orphan.

Mama Mousekewitz (Erica Yohn)

Feivel's mother. She appears the stricter of the Mousekewitz parents, and has a fear of flying. Mama, like most of the mice in the film, has a deep and open fear of cats. She is almost always seen taking care of her baby daughter Yasha. Fievels American Tails is an animated television series, produced by Steven Spielbergs Amblimation animation studio, Nelvana, and Universal Studios. ...

Tony Toponi (Pat Musick)

A streetwise young mouse of Italian descent and with a 'tough New Yorker' attitude, Tony meets Feivel during their slavery at the sweatshop. He takes a liking to Feivel, and gives him an American name 'Philly'. After they escape the sweatshop, he becomes Feivel's friend and guide to the town. Pat Musick is a voice actor. ...

While helping Feivel find his family he meets and becomes emotionally fond of Bridget, a pretty Irish activist. His last name is taken from the Italian word "Topo", meaning mouse.

Tiger (Dom DeLuise)

A very large, cowardly, long-haired orange cat who also happens to be vegetarian, Tiger was a member of Warren T. Rat's 'Mott Street Maulers' cat-gang until he met and befriended Feivel, whom he helped to escape. He is the only cat in the story who gives mice a non-hungry smile. This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

Henri (Christopher Plummer)

Henri is a pigeon of French descent, who is in New York while building the Statue of Liberty. He is the first to meet Feivel upon entering America. He nurses Feivel back to health, and tells him that he should never give up in his search for his family (via the song 'Never Say Never'), a message which Feivel takes to heart. This article or section does not adequately cite its references or sources. ... Liberty Enlightening the World (French: La liberté éclairant le monde), known more commonly as the Statue of Liberty (Statue de la Liberté), is a large statue that was presented to the United States by France in 1886, standing at Liberty Island, New York in the mouth of the Hudson River...

Other Characters

• Bridget (Cathianne Blore) - An Irish activist and Tony's girlfriend. Her fiery outrage against the unfairness of the cats may be due to the fact that her parents were killed by them, as she explains to Feivel. Whether this happened in Ireland or in New York is unknown. She is very kind to Feivel.
• Honest John (Neil Ross) - A local politician who knows every voting mouse in New York. A constant drunkard who takes advantage of every voter's concern to increase his political prestige.
• Gussie Mausheimer (Madeline Kahn) - A German mouse, she is New York's richest mouse, who rallies the mice into fighting back against the cats. Pompous and prone to speaking with a lisp.
• Digit (Will Ryan) - Warren T.'s cockroach accountant, he has a fondness for counting money, but is plagued by frequent electrical charges in his antennae. It's usually up to him to correct Warren T's faulty Shakespeare quotations. We see that he is tired of Warren's constant smoking, and bad violin playing, but he is too afraid of Warren to do anything about it.
• Yasha Mousekewitz - The baby sister of Feivel and Tanya, constantly being looked after by Mama Mousekewitz.
• Moe (Hal Smith) - A fat rat who runs the sweatshop Fievel is sold into by Warren T. Apparently even he sacrifices some of his profits to Warren in exchange for protection from the cats.

Box Office

The film was box office success, making the first Universal animation movies success in theaters. The film has grossed up to $47 million and $84 million worldwide.

Production

Feivel was voiced by Phillip Glasser, who later did voicework for A Troll in Central Park. The voices of Mama and Papa were Erica Yohn and Nehemiah Persoff who, aside from reprising the voices for the sequels, had no other roles in animation. Dom DeLuise, who also voiced Jeremy in Don Bluth's The Secret of NIMH, Itchy in All Dogs Go to Heaven, and Stanley in A Troll in Central Park, was the voice of Tiger, a fat but friendly vegetarian cat that Feivel befriends (who presumably represents the less prejudiced of American citizens). In the simultaneously-released Spanish version of the film, Feivel was voiced by Laura Bustamante. Philip Glasser is an American actor born and raised in Tarzana, California, in October 4, 1978. ...

While all of the animal characters were animated from scratch, the human characters were portrayed using the rotoscoping technique, in which sequences were shot in live action and then traced onto animation cels. This provides a realistic look for human characters, and distinguishes the cartoonish animal characters from the more realistically-animated humans. Rotoscoping is frequently employed in Don Bluth films, including The Secret of NIMH and Anastasia.

The film was released on VHS in the same year by CIC Video and is now available on a DVD that contains the main English track, as well as dubbing for French and Spanish. There are very few or no other articles that link to this one. ...

Release

The movie became the highest grossing non-Disney produced animated feature in first release in history at the time, drawing over $47 million USD. It was one of the first animated films to outdraw a Disney film, beating out The Great Mouse Detective (also released in 1986) by over $22 million USD. It would later be outperformed by the next Bluth film, 1988's The Land Before Time, which performed marginally against Disney's Oliver and Company. That record would in turn be shattered by Disney's The Little Mermaid in 1989, sparking a rebirth in Disney's longtime tradition in feature animation. The Great Mouse Detective is a 1986 animated feature produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation, and originally released to movie theaters on July 2, 1986 by Walt Disney Pictures. ...

Music-Video

The #1 MTV music-video, produced and directed by Jeffrey Abelson, features the song "Somewhere Out There," performed by Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram, who are seen as animation artists drawing the very animation cels that trigger cutaways to relevant clips from the movie. Theirs is a duet between two separated lovers rather than the two separated siblings of the film, thereby generating interest in the movie among adults as well as the primary audience of children. In fact, the video was credited with being the first use of a music-video targeted at adults to help promote a children's film. The hauntingly beautiful song, given greater visibility by the highly popular music-video, earned an Academy Award nomination, and won a Grammy in 1987. Somewhere Out There is a song written by James Horner, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. ... Linda Marie Ronstadt (born July 15, 1946 in Tucson, Arizona) is a popular vocalist with multiple Grammy Awards, numerous multi-platinum albums, an Emmy Award, a Tony Award nomination who has recorded over 30 studio albums. ... James Ingram (born February 16, 1956 in Akron, Ohio) is an American soul musician, famous for his vocal performance. ...

Sequels and spinoffs

The film was followed by its theatrical sequel An American Tail: Fievel Goes West (1991), the television series Fievel's American Tails, and two direct-to-video sequels: An American Tail: The Treasure of Manhattan Island and An American Tail: The Mystery of the Night Monster, none of which Don Bluth had any involvement with. Most viewers consider the first film to be the best in the series. Feivel later served as the mascot for Steven Spielberg's Amblimation animation studio, appearing in its production logo. Also, as reported on the official An American Tail website, Feivel has become the mascot for UNICEF as well. There is also a Feivel-themed playground at Universal Studios Florida, featuring a large water slide and many over-sized objects such as books, glasses, cowboy boots, and more. It is the only such playground at any of NBC Universal's theme parks.

Soundtrack

The soundtrack includes a Grammy-winning James Horner song, "Somewhere Out There," whose lyrics describe, as in the film's story, the bond between two siblings and their optimistic hope in being able to see one another again after being separated. Besides being sung by the actors, a professionally sung version was also recorded for the closing credits. The professionally sung version is considered more of a love song, a duet between two separated lovers rather than two separated siblings.
