Despite being the second film released this is actually the 4th film in the American Tail series if you watch the two direct to video specials before this.
Its different that the first, maybe the animation or the look of Fievel, this time they pack up there backs and head way out west unaware they are leading themselfs into a trap caused by an evil posh cat voiced by John Cleese.
Downsides to this film, we do hear "Somewhere Out There" again but only for 15 seconds at the start of the film, pity it didn't last long, Poor Tanya.
The film had a skimpy story to be sure but the animation and songs were ok.
You'll enjoy this film as much as the first one.
4/5
