An American Tail - The Treasure of Manhattan Island [VHS]
That adorable little imp Fievel Mousekewitz is back (An American Tail,An American Tail: Fievel  Goes West). Plucky and determined, Fievel sets out on a quest for buried treasure, located under old  New York City, where he and his family happily reside (although his sometimes-cranky father is a  workaholic). Underground, Fievel meets a clandestine civilization of Native American mice, with a   sweet little gal reminiscent of Pocahontas to provide a little romance to boot. This may be a direct-to-video  offering, but the quality is topnotch--animation is rich and lush, and the original tunes are fun and catchy.  Moreover, the movie stresses such welcome notions as loyalty, family, affection, friendship, honesty, and  honor. There's even a modest but effectively put message about who really belongs in America. Dom  DeLuise,Party of Five's Lacey Chabert, and David Carradine lend their voices to the production.
