An American Tail: Difference between revisions

* [[Flanderization]]: Just everyone in ''Fievel's American Tails''. Fievel becomes so obsessed with cowboys that it's all he ever talks about, Tiger just becomes [[Too Dumb to Live|completely stupid]], Waul loses almost all his [[Faux Affably Evil]] characteristics and becomes a [[Butt Monkey]], Tanya is [[Demoted to Extra]] in most episodes and the [[An Aesop|Aesops]] everyone learned at the end of ''Fievel Goes West'' are all completely forgotten... about the only character who actually sees some [[Character Development]] is Yasha, ironically, due to her being [[Suddenly Voiced]].

* [[Flat What]]:

'''Cat R. Waul:''' ''What.'' }}

* [[Freeze-Frame Bonus]]: Just as Cat R. Waul is picking Tanya up in his paws while she sings "Dreams to Dream", one of the animators snuck in a lewd drawing for a single frame, where she has her mouth open.

* [[Rule of Funny]]: Tiger dancing to "Putting on the Ritz" with a skeleton for a few seconds, Tiger turning into a poodle at the mention of a dog, Tiger deflating like a balloon and falling off a cliff to a long farting sound...''Fievel Goes West'' had way more moments like these than the first movie. Most if not all had to do with Tiger.

* [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness]]: This is how Cat R. Waul talks.

'''Cat R. Waul:''' ...Someone who doesn't have very long to live. }}

* [[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: Tanya after her makeover.

* [[Retcon]]: In ''The Treasure of Manhatten Island'', Fievel ''dreamed'' the entirety of ''Fievel Goes West''.

* [[Running Gag]]: After every time Tanya makes a [[Little Miss Snarker|snarky]] comment:

* [[Shaming the Mob]]: Papa manages to stop the riot in the third movie by doing this.

* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: The large native mouse who falls for [[Butt Monkey|Scuttlebutt]] and follows him giggling in an empty tent... just in time to catch him stealing. However this is a [[Played for Laughs]] aversion.
