== Fievel Goes West and Fievel's American Tails ==
* [[Angst? What Angst?]]: Fievel's parents really don't seem sad or concerned enough when Fievel falls off the train, and when they get to Green River they're more concerned about where they're going to be living than the whereabouts of their son. And when Fievel is reunited with them, they're happy, but they don't make a big deal out of it, as if it were some daily occurance. Considering they already declared him dead in the first film, [[Fridge Logic|you have to wonder what kind of parents they are]].
* [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]]: The whole soundtrack to ''Fievel Goes West'' is great.
* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]:
Line 39:
** Aside from that, [[Contested Sequel|opinions are nearly evenly divided]] on whether ''Fievel Goes West'' was an [[Even Better Sequel]] or [[Sequelitis|an embarrassment to all the first movie stood for]]. Or [[So Okay It's Average|something in between]].
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: Cat R. Waul to his fangirls, especially the ones who ship him with Tanya.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Tanya seems to be way more popular among the fandom than Fievel himself, as is Cat R. Waul. Being voiced by [[John Cleese (Creator)|John Cleese]] helps.
* [[Girls Need Role Models]]: Tanya Mousekewitz fills the role in ''Fievel Goes West''. She was almost definitely given her subplot to please the female demographic.
* [[Idiot Plot]]: Cat R. Waul being the [[Big Bad]] of the TV series means almost every episode requires every character except Fievel to fall for his latest scheme.
* [[Memetic Molester]]: From ''Fievel's American Tails'', there's Dr. Travis T. Hippocrates, a traveling doctor who encourages Fievel to give strange candy to everyone in Green River (which ends up giving everyone hiccups, and he sells them a placebo "cure"). Fievel doesn't think twice about taking candy from a stranger. Later on when Fievel refuses to be a part of his scheme anymore, he grabs Fievel by the shoulders very suggestively and says "Fievel, my boy, I'm afraid ''that'' was the wrong answer.", and the scene fades to black.
* [[The Problem Withwith Licensed Games]]: The ''Fievel Goes West'' game for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] wasn't too bad of a side-scroller, but it wasn't too impressive either. In the early 2000's Fievel even got a game on the [[Game Boy Advance]], ''An American Tail: Fievel's Gold Rush'', which seemed to take place after ''Fievel Goes West'' and played a lot like the Super Nintendo game (odd given that Universal had spent so much effort trying to convince everyone that the movie never happened). This trope is played far more straight with the random ''An American Tail'' game that came out for the [[Play Station 2]] [[No Export for You|in Europe]] (which actually plays disturbingly a lot like [[Superman 64]]).
* [[Sequel Displacement]]: When it first came out and for a few years after, though it's slowly gone away.
* [[Villain Decay]]:
** Ughh...the TV series pretty much ruined Cat R. Waul and Chula. In ''Fievel's American Tails'' Waul becomes [[Laughably Evil]] and nothing more than an easily-defeated nuisance rather than the [[Big Bad]].
** Somewhat understandable, since the danger he posed in the movie was directly related to the fact that [[Villain Withwith Good Publicity|everyone trusted him]], which no one in their right mind would after [[The Reveal]]. Then again, see [[Idiot Plot]].
 
== The Direct-to-Video Sequels ==
Line 57:
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Toplofty and Mr. Grasping
* [[Only the Creator Does It Right]]: Tends to be the opinion of most fans when it comes to the direct-to-video sequels (as well as those who dislike ''Fievel Goes West'' due to Bluth's lack of involvement). Then again, compared to other Bluth sequels they could have been a lot worse.
* [[Toy Ship]]: Fievel and Cholena have a few [[Ship Tease|moments]] together, more than she and Tony do (their duet, "Anywhere in Your Dreams", being the example that stands out the most). For the most part they're the [[Fan -Preferred Couple]] of the film (also helped by fans who [[Ship Mates|prefer Tony staying with Bridget]]).
