An American Tail (1986)

Hop aboard a ship across the Atlantic, as we make the journey to ‘An American Tail’, the first animated movie from Amblin, released back in 1986. Friend and fellow podcaster Barry Levitt (@blevitt93) joins Andy and Josh to unpack the rollercoaster career of the film’s director Don Bluth, before sharing their thoughts on the beautiful animation, the strange details of mice society and pray that nothing happens to their sweet boy, Fievel Mousekewitz. We also ask the question: what’s Don Bluth got against cats? Follow the podcast on Twitter (@RamblinAmblin) and be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode!
