Ulasan
Camille
Somewhere, out there... a heartwarming animated adventure awaits! An American Tail isn't just a cartoon; it's a timeless tale of courage, family, and the immigrant experience, wrapped in a captivating musical score. Follow Fievel Mousekewitz on his harrowing journey from Russia to America, a land he believes is paved with cheese and free of cats. The animation is gorgeous, brimming with detail and personality, bringing 1880s New York to vibrant life. But it's the emotional core of the film that truly resonates. Fievel's unwavering hope and determination in the face of adversity is both inspiring and deeply touching. While the story tackles serious themes of prejudice and displacement, it does so with a deft touch, making it accessible for children while still resonating with adults. The songs, especially "Somewhere Out There," are unforgettable melodies that perfectly capture the longing and yearning for connection. An American Tail is a classic for a reason. It's a beautiful, poignant, and ultimately hopeful story that will stay with you long after the credits roll. Highly recommended for families and anyone who appreciates quality animation with a heart. Just be prepared to shed a tear or two!

My dad scoffed when he saw this movie, saying, "Is this some American propaganda?" Well... "Somewhere Out There" is a pretty good song, though!

I have fond memories of watching this on VCD with my dad when I was little, and we watched it countless times.

Aurora
Stumbled upon this animation and ended up exhausted by the heavy-handed political allegory. While the character designs are cute, and the animation is fluid and natural, the characters' thought processes and movements are just too human-like. The film's transition from glorifying the American Dream to satirizing it, and then back to celebrating it, feels disjointed and messy.
