NC: Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic. I remember it so you don't have to. In 1986, Don Bluth released the animated classic An American Tail.

(Footage of the movie is shown)

NC (vo): With an aggressive yet still heartfelt tone, it chronicled the lives of a family separated, used clever commentary to display the expectation versus the reality of immigrants arriving in America, and showed the power of the fighting spirit to locate what you thought was lost forever.

NC: And then the sequel came out. (a shot of the poster for said sequel, An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, is displayed in the corner) It's a cowboy movie! (grins and nods)

(The title for this movie is displayed, followed by footage of it)

NC (vo): Released in 1991, Fievel Goes West clearly has little connection with the original in terms of tone, animation, or even the people who made it, and instead decides to make a goofy western. I don't know why this movie exists, why they took this angle with it, or why fate was so cruel to make it Jimmy Stewart's last role. But, here we are. Does it have any charm, brilliance or charisma on par with the original? Did John Cleese turn down the role of (a shot of Cogsworth appears in the corner) Cogsworth to play the villain in this instead?

(Cut to a clip of Fawlty Towers: Basil Fawlty jumping up and down, looking up and shaking his fist in frustration)

Basil Fawlty: THANK YOU, GOD! THANK YOU SO BLOODY MUCH!

NC: (grudgingly) Let's take a look at Fievel Goes West.
