Not as good as the first two

First off, you never expect a direct to video movie to be as good as the first two movies that went theatrical. I was really looking forward to this film, ever since I bought the two classic masterpieces during their re-release on video. I saw the trailer, and it looked like fun. Tell you the truth, The Treasure of Manhattan Island plays out more like an animated TV show than a movie. It's not nearly as kind and gentle hearted as the first two...it's not as fun either. As for the music, it's not really top notch either. 2 of them are completely disposable and the other one, I dunno the name, works perfectly in a scene featuring Fievel and his new found friend and their ride in a water bucket supported by string. This is by far the best part of the film, and the only part in this 3rd film that really resembles true American Tail magic. All in all, it's a good film, just a huge step down from the first two. If they worked more on a better script and if it had more of a movie feel to it and not a TV animated show, it would've been better. Throw in more quality songs (there were only 3 songs in this film)and that also would've made it better. More magic was needed, and here for the most part it was lacking....though Dom Deluise is still great with his tiny role. Worth watching, just be aware of the flaws

Still sticking to a good formula!

I last saw this movie about a year or 2 ago but, I still remember most of it. My sister use to want to rent this most of the time and we usually did get it and she loved cholena. Though this movie is certainly not as good as the first 2 it certainly still had the morals and values of the others. This one takes place before Fievel and his family move out west and Fievel and his friend Tony Befriend an Indian girl named Cholena. Cholena and her family are hunted down and go back into hiding (they lived underground)and fievel learns a lesson by the end. These movies are not as well animated and may not have as good a score and songs as the first but, it's a sequel. I've always said that The American tail series has something that Disney never had. They can relate to real life because it's based on real events (the first one anyway)and they teach children that things aren't perfect but, you can make a difference. This one has stuck to that very not-to-preachy-but- still-educational formula and Fievel is still that cute little Jewish mouse *who does not live in a castle!* but on the streets of Manhattan with is over-sized hat. I totally recommend this movie! I'm going to show the whole series to my cousin whom thinks she so cool because she watches Hanna Montana. She's only 7. When I was 7 I was watching this and It turns out I'm one of the most educated and understanding teenagers in my class. So please let your children watch this and not Hanna Montana. Let them know even a curious immigrant little mouse can make a difference and so can they. This may sound silly because it's only a movie but, Watching the An American tail series is actually healthy, including it's sequels!
