An American Tail (Animation|US|1986|80 minutes) is a 1986 animated musical adventure comedy-drama film that tells the story of a courageous little mouse named Fievel Mousekewitz and his family as they emigrate from Shostka to the United States for freedom. Journeying by ship from Russia to turn-of-the-century America, Fievel is lost at sea during a ferocious storm. Washing ashore in New York Harbor, Fievel braves the perils and wonders of a strange new world in a thrilling quest to find his family. Featuring the voices of Dom DeLuise, Madeline Kahn and Christopher Plummer, it's a rousing, heartwarming animated adventure for the entire family! It was the first animated film for executive producer Steven Spielberg and was the highest-grossing non-Disney animated film at the time. An American Tail is still a timely tale for today as it deals with racism, antisemitism, immigration and the vilification of “the other.”
