#An American Tail - Fievel Goes West

THE ART OF AN AMERICAN TAIL: FIEVEL GOES WEST (1991)

Today, all of Tumblr, may I present to all of you something VERY rare this way comes:

A series of 10 photos that I just happened to find on the Worth Point website of a rare portfolio, though already bought by and sold to someone on eBay long ago, of actual, rare storyboards, animation production cels and drawings, and even concept art for Amblimation's work on An American Tail: Fievel Goes West (1991).

And inside this extremely rare portfolio, though long since bought out on eBay by someone else long, long ago, are some 20+ pieces of storyboards, animation cels and drawings, and even conceptual artwork done for An American Tail: Fievel Goes West by Steven Spielberg's London, England, UK-based Amblimation studio (which was founded on the back of the success of 1988's Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and which is also the ancestor of today's DreamWorks, the latter being the studio most famous for Shrek, as well as Kung Fu Panda and How to Train Your Dragon) between 1989 and 1991...among the rare pieces of art in that portfolio includes some of the following things:

Some rare animation art that were done for and during the making of Fievel Goes West, including a storyboard panel of the struggling Mousekewitz family, a colorful drawing of Tiger being held captive by a tribe of Native American mice (who obviously decided to adopt him as some sort of god), a rare prototype logo for An American Tail II before they eventually changed the final title to An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, a model sheet of the sewer mice crowd, an animation drawing of Fievel, and some Fievel facial expressions, plus a running Fievel drawing, a drawing of the train that took the Mousekewitz family out west to Green River, Utah, some kind of animation layout drawing, and a map of the continental USA with different kinds of cheese depending on each state, plus a drawing of a falling candlestick, all done for Fievel Goes West.

And finally, last but not least among the twenty plus pieces of storyboards, animation cels and drawings, and conceptual artwork done for An American Tail: Fievel Goes West by the Amblimation studio between 1989 and 1991, are two production drawings that really intrigues or even fascinates me the most...

An early drawing of the cowboy outfit worn by Fievel the cute little cowboy mouse done for Fievel Goes West...

And a cleaned-up production drawing of the dress worn by Fievel's sister Tanya Mousekewitz after her beautiful and pretty saloon showgirl makeover some 48 minutes into the 75 minute long Fievel Goes West movie. (maybe I really liked or especially admired the latter design for some reason, but I just don't know, for sure, but anyway...)

Well, yes, I know it's been over three decades late for all this, but I really do wish that there really could have been a beautiful coffee-table book on "The Art of An American Tail: Fievel Goes West" or something like that!

But, anyway, what do you think, Tumblr?

This one was almost all suggestions given to me. I have 2 more parts in drafts if anyone has a movie they haven't seen yet. Open to suggestions for movies to add!

''Pay attention. Keep it clean and tidy. Plenty of violence, but NO eating. Right. Carry on, chaps.''

I don't wanna get into how I feel about Fievel Goes West mostly because it's hard to articulate how it's...REALLY not as great as I remember. But then again Im sure most of that ''Great'' is literally because of Cat R Waul. Had it not been for Cat R Waul I would have laughed when this movie was thrown to Doug Walker for slaughter. Cat R Waul Nation, so on and so forth.

First crossover ship?

I actually just realized that my first crossover ship is Professor Ratigan (TGMD) x Tanya Mousekewitz (AAT:FGW). I've been shipping them since 2011.

In my headcanon, Ratigan doesn't die, and Tanya is OVER 18 by the time they meet. An American Tail 2/An American Tail: Fievel Goes West takes place in the year 1890, making her 16 years old at the time, but in The Great Mouse Detective, it takes place in the year 1897, SEVEN years after the events of AAT2, making her 23 years old and thus an adult in the current GMD timeline. I base their relationship dynamic on Christine Daaé and the Phantom.

Here is a beautiful AMV of them.

Just something I’ve found myself doing in my free time. All of the art here is done entirely by myself! ♥️

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BUGS BUNNY, FROM FIEVEL AND TANYA MOUSEKEWITZ OF AN AMERICAN TAIL AND FIEVEL GOES WEST FAME...AND FROM THE WORLD OF TEN'JAD, PLANET OF THE TOONS!

It was 84 years ago today, on July 27, 1940, that we are truly introduced, through A Wild Hare, to a rascally and then-new kind of trickster hero: Bugs Bunny of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies fame!

And so, here's my birthday message to Bugs Bunny, King of All Rascals and Tricksters in all the Cartoon Lands after all these years:

May the world of Ten'Jad, Planet of the Toons, and also An American Tail and An American Tail: Fievel Goes West's cute but adventurous and heroic cartoon mouse hero Fievel Mousekewitz, and even Fievel's big sister Tanya Mousekewitz, too, wish you, Bugs Bunny of Looney Tunes fame, a VERY Happy Birthday, especially in that BIG somewhere out there!
