Leonard Maltin

It has the most important ingredient for a good cartoon feature: an appealing main character.

Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Eleanor Ringel Cater

[It] celebrates the rich diversity of our melting-pot heritage; it doesn't insult kids (or adults) with fifth-rate Saturday-morning non-animation; and it gives us some wonderfully memorable characters that weren't already sitting on the Toys R Us shelves.

An American Tail is simply not remarkable. It's handsome, wholesome and eager to please, but its theme seems well beyond the ken of the very young. Worse, the plot has a dreadful familiarity to it -- the borrowings are extensive.

The sights and most of the sounds are always eye-filling and occasionally thrilling. The mouse's-eye views of old Manhattan are stunningly rendered, as are the bird's-eye panoramas. And Horner's score has sweep and splendor.

Beautifully animated in the classic tradition of Pinocchio, An American Tall depicts the immigrant experience of i hundred years ago as seen through the eyes of young Fievel Mousekewitz, his family and his murine compadres.
