American Tail/American Tail-Fievel Goes West (2 pack) (vhs):

Amazon.com video review: 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
