[edit] Sacrificial Lamb?

Does anyone else wonder what the Universal team was thinking in releasing this movie against Beauty and the Beast?

The only thing I can think of is that they had so little confidence that they threw it in as a sacrificial lamb.

[edit] Was it retconned?

I was about to add this. I saw it on an eBay review referring to these movies.

"*At the end of the sequel, "An American Tail: The Treasure of Manhattan Island" has a sequence that basically retconned the entire movie out of existence."

Is this accurate?

It's at the start of the film. Fievel mentioned he had a dream where the Mouskawitzes moved to the west. This implies that both the film and the TV series Fievel's American Tails never actually happened. Iprefer to think that AT2 happens after AT3 and AT4. (AndrewAnorak 10:50, 18 March 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Trivia entry

I'm not sure about this line.

"In an all-too-brief shot during the Cat raid on the mice slums, Tony and Bridget are briefly seen careening into a sewer on a rollerskate with three children. This seems to suggest that Bridget and Tony had married by now and had had children."

I don't remember them appearing in a rollerskate scene (haven't watched it in a while), but I think there was a scene after they arrived out west where it looks like Tony is carrying Bridget "over the threshold"; which would imply that they may have been newlyweds.

Which is correct?

There are a couple of newlyweds in a short scene in Green River, but they are not Tony and Bridget. Many have confused this scene with the one immediately after, in which Tony, Bridget, and their *one* child (not three) are seen moving into their new house.

[edit] Another question

Concerning the following statement:

Tanya becomes a famous singer (although she also appears to be happy with the way she was before by the end)

From what I recall, I don't think it was ever stated in the movie whether or not Tanya does become a famous singer. WAVY 10 Fan (talk) 00:13, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
