An American Tail 3 - The Treasure Of Manhattan Island [DVD]

Plain & Simple- An American Tail & Fieval Goes West (1 & 2)...are two of the greatest cartoon movies to date...Why? Because of Director Don Bluth. i.e. (The Land Before Time.

The Original 1st Bluth movie surpasses all of the others.)

Stick with the originals - Only try'n to Help!

Don't waste your time with this. If you want an example of how bad it is, according this Fivel Goes West never happened. It was all a dream.

I love this chapter in "The Adventure Too Big for One Movie". I was 6 when this movie came out, so maybe that's why i prefer it over the original 2, (also why i prefer 90's Disney over "the Classics") but still watched the first 2 enough to know the story. I watched this one more than any of the others, and as stated in my title i never cared for Feivel Goes West all that much. It's not a bad movie by any means, it's still better than cartoons nowadays (though unlike one reviewer here I love Disney). There's many reasons, but mainly it was a recycled plot of the first movie. But this is a review of number 3, not 2 so, back to the point.. I wont tell you about the plot. I really liked the story, it was interesting, and actually heavy for a kids movie i thought.. Reminded me of the first movie with its plot, how it tells kids about a hard subject in a fun, enjoyable way. And yes, Feivel does mention having a dream of going to the west, suggesting the previous chapter mentioned above was just a dream. I however have read online that this means this film and the next (and last) take place before the second film, so its foreshadowing in a jokingly way. But i prefer to think of it as a dream, which makes part 2 a little more enjoyable for me. The animation is cheap and not as great, but this was direct-to-video so i dont see why people are so hard about that fact. But Dom DeLuise is back as Tiger, and Tony, who was left out of Feivel Goes West (another reason for my dislike of it), is back too, with a bigger part at that. Bottom Line, your kids will no doubt love it, and you should like it better than the other awful kids movies im sure you are also subjected to. Just dont expect it to surpass the original, and remember its straight to video, and you will be pleasently suprised.
