Product description Two VHS tapes in heavy, durable plastic cases. An American Tail follows the brave little mouse who journeys from Russia to America with his family to seek a new life free from cat persecution. Fievel Goes West is the adventure of our brave little hero Fievel, who is lured west by the evil double-dealer Cat R Waul, who plans to turn the settlers into mouse-burgers. Includes CD-ROM with nine chapter scenes, 25 story screens with over 60 hidden animations, large screen video segments to help children understand the text, educational activities, and 9 jigsaw puzzles. An American Tail, running time 1 hour 21 minutes. Fievel Goes West, 1 hour 15 minutes. Animated, color, rated G. Amazon.com This set of Don Bluth's two An American Tail movies are based upon the story of a young Russian mouse who is separated from his family in America (this is all in the first film) and who later heads with his reunited kin out to the American West. Both films are pleasant, though not spectacular, and they have their greatest problems in story development. Steven Spielberg produced with an eye toward creating animation hits outside of Disney, and he and Bluth certainly took a big step in that direction here. Kids like both films a lot, and adults will warm to the sound of various familiar voices, such as James Stewart performing as the creaky sheriff Wylie Burp. --Tom Keogh
