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?

Romeo & Juliet (Sealed with a Kiss)
You know that old saw about walking down a beach that represents the different times of your life and seeing God’s footprints beside yours? I kinda feel that way about animator Phil Nibbelink. I knew it not, but he was there during The Fox and the Hound, The Black Cauldron, The Great Mouse Detective, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Oliver & Company and American Tail: Fievel Goes West. Nibbelink worked…

"There's a long history of beautiful saloon girls in American cinema, and Tanya fits right in with her hair piled high and her zealous use of rouge. But it's her voice that earns her a spot...one so melodic, it even makes cats fall at her feet."
--Entertainment Weekly on Tanya Mousekewitz (voice of Cathy Cavadini) of An American Tail: Fievel Goes West (1991) fame, June 12, 2024
In your most honest opinion, animation fans and cartoon lovers everywhere, what do you really think of Fievel's pretty cartoon saloon girl mouse sister Tanya Mousekewitz, or at least the version of her as she appeared in An American Tail: Fievel Goes West (1991) and as she was voiced in that 1991 animated film by The Powerpuff Girls' Blossom's original voice actress Cathy Cavadini?

What is a not necessarily good animated movie you still really enjoy?
Gnomeo and Juliet.
It's, like you said, not necessarily good, but... I don't know, I have a soft spot for it. Or at least quite a few scenes. The scene where Gnomeo and Juliet meet each other is so cute, their playful, flirtatious banter just puts a smile on my face. And I'm not gonna lie, while a lot of the jokes are kinda just cringy or just not funny, the ones that are funny get a really big laugh out of me. The animation is honestly also pretty great.
If you're looking for some feel-good fluff I'd honestly recommend that one!
Honestly, speaking of Romeo & Juliet adaptations for kids... check out this one:
youtube
This is a guilty pleasure of mine, if you check out my YT channel and search for "Romeo and Juliet" you'll see I've even made fanvideos of this movie 9 to 13 years ago xD It's just so oddly sweet, off in its humor, but still cute and sad when they *cough* die at the end. I recommend this one too if you're a Shakespeare fan not, it's a weirdly good time xD
And this is a weird thing to point out, but you know how in most animated movies, the couples kiss maybe once or just a few more times in the entire movie, maybe even in multiple movies? Yeah, this Romeo and Juliet kiss like 20+ or something, there's lots of smooches here and honestly, that's also fun in its own right xD
Oh, and also, it was made by ONE GUY using Flash animation. Voice actors were friends and family. That kinda makes this movie even more amazing.
