Box office
$84.5 million
An American Tail is a 1986 American animatedmusicalcomedy-dramaadventure film directed by Don Bluth and produced by Sullivan Bluth Inc. and Amblin Entertainment. It tells the story of Fievel Mousekewitz and his family as they emigrate from the Imperial Russian territory of Ukraine to the United States for freedom. However, he gets lost and must find a way to reunite with them. It was released on November 21, 1986, to reviews that ranged from positive to mixed and was a box office hit, making it the highest-grossing non-Disney animated film at the time. Its success, along with that of The Land Before Time and Disney's Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and Bluth's departure from their partnership, prompted Steven Spielberg to establish his own animation studio, Amblimation, but Amblimation was closed down.
Plot[]
In Shostka in 1885, the Mousekewitzes, a Russian-Jewish family of mice who live with a human family named Moskowitz, are having a celebration of Hanukkah where Papa gives his hat to his 5-year-old son, Fievel, and tells him about the United States, a country where there are no cats. The celebration is interrupted when a battery of Cossacks ride through the village square in an anti-Jewish arson attack and their cats likewise attack the village mice. Because of this, the Moskowitz home, along with that of the Mousekewitzes, is destroyed.
In Hamburg, the Mousekewitzes board a tramp steamer headed for New York City. All the mice aboard are ecstatic at the prospect of going to America as there are "no cats" there. During a thunderstorm on their journey, Fievel suddenly finds himself separated from his family and washed overboard. Thinking that he has died, they proceed to the city as planned, though they become depressed at his loss

Spoiler alert: moderate
It is with no great enthusiasm that I come at Don Bluth's second film, made at his second independent studio, Sullivan Bluth Studios, in co-production with Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, after Bluth's first studio, Don Bluth Productions, fell into bankruptcy following the unfortunate underperformance of The Secret of NIMH. You see, as far as Bluth cartoons go, I get the impression that none has a greater present-day constituency, nor benefits from a more enduring nostalgia, than 1986's An American Tail. Maybe that distinction rightly goes to Anastasia, but, realistically-speaking, most people don't even know that's not a Disney movie. And maybe it should go to The Land Before Time, but its infinite parade of sequels has eroded much of any belief that it was ever an exemplar of the family animation arts. So that leaves us with An American Tail as presumptively Bluth's single most beloved work, and even a quarter of a century later, it's remembered fondly by casual fans and animation buffs alike. It was not only the resurrection of Bluth's commercial aspirations; it was what got Spielberg into the whole cartoon game, one of the crucial factors in the industry's sudden explosion back into relevance in the back half of the 1980s. And the thing is, I don't like it. At times, I actively hate it. Often, I'm impressed by the undeniable craft of it. Occasionally, I'm struck by how ambitious its themes are for a cartoon about talking mice. Mostly, I think it just doesn't work, and I think it stops working almost the moment it starts.
So: we begin in 1885, in a human village somewhere in Russia, though we can likely narrow it down geographically to "within the Pale of Settlement." Underneath the humans' feet live

Plot[]
In 1885 Shostka, Russia, the Mousekewitzes — a Russian-Jewish family of mice — decide to immigrate to America after an army of cruel cats that belong to the Cossacks (a reference to actual pogroms occurring in Russia at the time) destroy their village. During the trip overseas, the family's young son, Fievel, gets separated from the others while and washes overboard in a storm, after he decided to see the fish during the terrible weather by throwing his hat on the deck. The Mousekewitz arrives sadly in America, believing they've lost their son.
Fievel, however, floats to America in a bottle, and after a pep talk from a French pigeon named Henri, embarks on a quest to find his family. He is waylaid by conman Warren T. Rat, who gains his trust and then sells him to a sweatshop. He escapes with Tony, a street-smart Italian mouse, and they join up with Bridget, an Irish mouse trying to rouse her fellow mice to stand up to cats. When a gang of some called the Mott Street Maulers attacks a mouse marketplace, the immigrant mice learn that the tales of a no-cat country is not true.
Bridget takes Fievel and Tony to see Honest John, a drunk (but reliable) politician who knows all the voting mice in New York City. But as the Mousekewitzes have not yet registered to vote, he can't help Fievel find th
