Ellen Futterman St. Louis Post-Dispatch [A] less likable, often dull sequel. Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times There is nothing really the matter with An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, except that it is not inspired with an extra spark of imagination in addition to its competent entertainment qualities. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Joanna Connors Cleveland Plain Dealer The slapstick humor and irrepressible energy make up for anything you might miss as the movie whizzes along. Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Henry Sheehan L.A. Weekly The movie, though broader than Beauty and the Beast, is made with as much conviction and feeling. Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Without a doubt, this will pacify more than a feeding bottle. [Full review in Spanish] Dec 12, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Blu B Gone is any of the commentary of immigrants/American Dream and replaced with comedic slapstick gags and a cartoon episode like feel for barely a 70 minute runtime excluding credits. Voice acting, animation, and music isn't bad but man it's all a huge step down from the first. The Western setting is ok but it's mainly used for again gags and subplots like Fievel's sister, Tiger's journey which could be it's own spinoff movie, his family, and the music numbers all don't feel as tight as the first did. The early CGI scenes are pretty cool and the best things visually. It still retains the detail of the first but is just used for comedically dumb childish scenes. Everything else is alright. This comes very close at times to just being a repeat of the first just in the West. Tiger's whole subplot feels like a seperate movie and half of it is just Tiger related gags. It's a shame because he was one of the ebst things in the first but here he's been reduced to just gags. Stewart's character isn't bad and probably the best thing acting wise here besides DeLouise who is decent too. It's just a shame they weren't given more depth. After stripping away gags and music numbers there is probably a 30 minute maybe 40 minute actuals story here. But the execution is still decent enough and it is harmless Saturday Morning cartoon stuff. So it does have a bit of a charm I guess but nowhere near the first. If your a huge fan of any actors in this, or a big fan of this franchise maybe give this a try but it's nowhere as good as the first but harmless enough. Most won't miss much though. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/24/25 Full Review Stephen C Successful cartoon movie in 1 hour and 14 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $20,200,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/19/25 Full Review Mark T Fievel Goes West is an instant classic. It's an exciting and fun romp with an incredible zero-to-hero sub-plot, and delightful toe-tapping original songs. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/25 Full Review Vincent R Not gonna lie, this movie has really high animation quality to be a sequel. Like most disney sequels has really bad animation. Also this movie makes Native Americans better than Peter Pan Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/14/25 Full Review Noe G An American tail fievel goes West is my most favorite in American tail movie from 1991 I give this film a 10/10 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/06/24 Full Review Ash P Better than the first film? Not close enough but still a fun film from when I was a kid. Not only as a decent movie for a goofy western for kids, but also a tribute for Jimmy Stewert for this was his last role before his passing. For me as an adult watching this again, it's as nostalgia as I remember as a kid. 7/10. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
