AN AMERICAN TAIL cassette tape James Horner soundtrack 1986 cartoon Fievel
This is “An American Tail: Music From the Motion Picture Soundtrack,” by James Horner, a previously-owned audio cassette tape with all original art. Manufactured by MCA in 1986, the tape plays beautifully and has been double-checked.
“An American Tail” is an animated film produced by Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment, and directed by Don Bluth, originally released in movie theatres in 1986. The film shows the story of the life of a family of Jewish-Russian mice who emigrate to escape a pogrom after their village is destroyed by Cossack raiders. Believing in the American dream, they head to New York City only to find horrible conditions and a feline protection racket. The film follows Fievel Mousekewitz’s plight, separated from his family during a storm, as an allegory for the terrible conditions immigrants to the United States faced at the turn of the century. While “Fievel” is the generally accepted spelling of his name, the opening credits spell him as “Feivel” which is technically the correct Yiddish spelling. Track-listing:
