Line 2:
=== The entire series: ===
* [[Dawson Casting]]: Tanya.
* [[Dueling Movies]]: ''An American Tail'' and ''[[The Great Mouse Detective (Disney)|The Great Mouse Detective]]''. (Sort of; that movie came out in the summer, while ''Tail'' was released for the Thanksgiving/Christmas holiday season, though things were tense as Disney watched how well ''AAT'' would do in comparison to ''GMD''.) ''An American Tail'' won and became the highest grossing animated film in history up to that point, but that isn't to say ''The Great Mouse Detective'' wasn't successful. Still, it's been said that this was the movie that gave Disney the kick in the pants it needed to improve its animated films.
** ''Fievel Goes West'' with ''[[Beauty and The Beast (Disney)|Beauty and Thethe Beast]]''. Sadly, you can already kinda tell how well that went.
*** It beat out ''[[Rock -a -Doodle]]'' though, which was in theaters at the same time. It's tragically ironic when a sequel to a Bluth movie out-does an actual Bluth movie.
* [[Fake Russian]]: Fievel's voice actor wasn't even remotely Russian, and neither was Tanya's. And Papa's voice actor, Nehemiah Persoff, was born in Palestine (well, it was Palestine when he was born).
** [[Fake Nationality]]: Christopher Plummer plays a French pigeon, as well.
Line 11:
*** Digit sounds like [[The Land Before Time|Petrie]]?!
*** Gussie is voiced by Madeline Kahn, reprising her [[Blazing Saddles|Lili Von Schtupp]] voice.
** ''Fievel Goes West'': In addition to [[Monty Python's Flying Circus (TV)|John Cleese]], [[The Powerpuff Girls (Animation)|Cathy Cavadini]], Dom De Luise, Amy Irving and Jon Lovitz appearing in ''Fievel Goes West'', [[Jimmy Stewart]], veteran of classic Westerns and avid friend to dogs, lends his voice and his final performance to the Western-genre sequel as Sheriff Wylie Burp, an over the hill, wiser than his years hound.
** ''Fievel's American Tails'': Phillip Glasser, Dom de Luise and Cathy Cavadini reprise the roles of Fievel, Tiger and Tanya respectively.
** ''The Treasure of Manhattan Island'': Interestingly they managed to at least do well in the voice acting department with ''The Treasure of Manhattan Island''. In addition to returning voice actors from previous movies (Dom De Luise and Pat Musick return as Tiger and Tony respectively), it also features the vocal talents of Thomas Dekker, [[Tony Jay]], Ron Perlman, and David Carradine as Cholena's father.
*** Sherman Howard, best known to [[DCAU]] fans as the voice of Derek Powers/Blight in ''[[Batman Beyond (Animation)|Batman Beyond]]'', provides the voice of Chief McBrusque.
** ''The Mystery of the Night Monster'': Includes most of the same voice talents from the previous movie, in addition to [[Lacey Chabert]] as Tanya and [[Candi Milo]] as Madame Mousey.
** In the Japanese dub:
*** Fievel [[Akemi Okamura|is]] [[One Piece (Manga)|Nami]] (and also overlaps with [[Relationship Voice Actor]] with [[Mayumi Tanaka|Tony's Japanese VA]] since both voice actresses reunited years later, [[One Piece (Manga)|except Fievel as a girl and Tony's sidekick and Tony as the main character, and with another crew member named Tony to boot!]])
*** Tanya [[Maria Kawamura|is]] [[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (Anime)|Beltorchika Irma]]
*** Yasha [[Taeko Kawata|is]] [[Tales of Phantasia (Video Game)|Suzu Fujibayashi]]
*** Tiger [[Kenji Utsumi|is]] [[Fist of the North Star (Manga)|Raoh]]
*** Tony [[Mayumi Tanaka|is]] [[One Piece (Manga)|Monkey D. Luffy]] and [[Dragon Ball (Manga)|Krillin]] ([[Relationship Voice Actor|see Fievel above]])
 
=== ''An American Tail'' ===
Line 33:
* [[No Export for You]]: In an odd and ironic inversion of this trope, the DVD release of ''Fievel's American Tails'' and the ''An American Tail'' video game for the Playstation2 are available in Europe, but ''not'' America.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Most of the voice actors from the first movie reprised their roles, but Tanya was voiced instead by Cathy Cavadini.
** In ''Fievel's American Tails'' Cat R. Waul is voiced by Gerrit Graham, and Chula is voiced by [[Dan Castellaneta]] (and as a consequence sounds like [[The Simpsons (Animationanimation)|Krusty the Clown]]).
 
=== The direct-to-video sequels ===
