This is a lively adventure. A great family film that everyone should see. The animation is very good filled with lots of movement and speed. the film has both physical and verbal comedy. The best thing about the movie is without a doubt the villain played by John Cleese because it,s well John Cleese anything he's in is going to be a ton of fun. He is a fantastic comedian and actor. John Cleese turned down the role as Cogsworth in Beauty and the Beast to play this role. John Cleese as Cogsworth would have been amazing. But he is great in this movie, and it would not have been half as good without him. Amy Irving is also in the film playing a saloon singer and and her voice fits perfectly. James Stewart is also on hand in his last role as an old sheriff. But even though he is good in the role, his part is relatively small. I could take or leave the cat Tiger played by Dom DeLuise(Robin Hood: Men in Tights ,The Twelve Chairs )His character never did much for me and the subplot with the Indians felt unnecessary.The animation is very good as I said before bringing the old west perfectly to life while also having some good slapstick.All in all a very good family film that both you and your children should see,well made and fun. Also although I have not seen the Swedish dubbing, I'm sure it's very good because it is written and directed by the Queen of animated dubs Doreen Denning who has done many of the best Swedish dubs of animated movies ever. So if you are a Swedish parent, you can feel safe to show the movie to your children. The dubbing is undoubtedly very good

Let me get this out of the way - I hate An American Tail (the original) - I think it is a gloomy, morose and overly sentimental piece of tripe. What's more, you try getting a child to watch this trek into unhappiness and gooey emotions... it's not going to happen! Fievel Goes West on the other hand is a much lighter affair, with more cheer and one or two really lovable characters the kids will want to watch and adults won't want to smear the screen with chocolate because of. It is a little two dimensional (no pun intended) and it is also a little episodic and disjointed in places, but it recovers well and bounces back for a great finale. In short, if the kids have been good then let them watch Fievel Goes West (if they've been naughty then you could always punish them by making them watch An American Tail). I have always enjoyed this film and it continues to lighten the day.

Feivel Mouskewitz and his family (along with a thousand other mice) are moving to a new land, promised to them by a cat, where cats and mice work together and are equals. Feivel is attacked on the train to get there and gets lost in the desert, along with his cat friend Tiger, both not knowing each one is close. The animation on this film is really great, and the songs are even better than in the first American Tail movie. Many voices are provided by celebrities, including John Cleese, Dom Deluise, Amy Irving and the irreplaceable Jimmy Stewart. So I'd recommend you watch this, because this is one of the very few non-Disney animated films that turned out well, and had great music.My rating: *** out of ****. 74 mins. Rated G.

When I was a kid I used to like the original first American Tail film, but then they started making straight-to-video sequels. This sequel is the only one I have seen, why did they have to make s sequel, at least as rubbish as this. Young Fievel Mousekevitz the mouse gets lost again (for a little while) and then decides to try and get rid of all the cats from the West part of America, where the story left off. The only parts I can remember of this film were the parts with Tiger the cat and John Cleese as the voice of the villain. Apparently there was also the voices of Jon Lovitz, and, in his last film before his death, Rear Window and It's a Wonderful star James Stewart. They are meant to be the reason for the film earning a second star. Pretty poor!
