You got to admit, the ending scene was by far one of the best. And the fact that Jimmy Stewart, an acting legend marked the end of his acting career by saying something that was actually really beautiful and powerful. As if he was giving us his last word of advice.

A big theme in this movie is Fievel's imagination. We constantly see manifestations of his imagination the entire run time. That's why his hat does that and no one questions it. Because to everyone else in the film, it's still his old hat

13:13 Jimmy Stewart’s final lines in a movie. Beautiful 😢

For years whenever i heard the song rawhide i would get images of this movie where the song was used pop up in my head. And now I see this review I have rediscovered a long lost childhood memory. And I love this movie.

Can we talk about how amazing the animation of this movie is?
Because sometimes is jaw-dropping.

“Big Lipped Alligator Moment” became “Big Boobed Rich Woman Moment”.

8:46 "That was an accident. That was a very unequal scene. I'm a cannibal"

I'm not making this up, that's what the closed captions actually say.

Loved this as a kid but nothing has the place in my heart the first one does

Over half of this comment section is un-ECK-ible.

Born in 1990 here, grew up watching this movie along with others like balto, cats don't dance, land before time etc. Truly wonderful times...And now I am seeing this on netflix after 2 decades. :)

If you look closely, half way through video you can see tip of Mike Michaud gun pointing at NC

13:06 an honestly beautiful and touching scene, like he says. It does atleast get your emotions going, knowing that this is Jimmy Stewart's last role, and that these words his character says could be his last message to world, to never give up.

I gotta say this when I was a kid I HAD NO IDEA THERE WAS A PREVIOUS MOVIE. Like Legit I didnt know there was a first movie until 2014, I used to watch the HELL OUT THIS FILM when I was a lil kid and loved it haha good
Oh yeah that things going down so I better skidaddle on out of here tata, Im gonna rewatch this just for the hell of it now

[sarahwoodbyrne]

My mom was the executive producer of this movie, and was funny enough pregnant with me when it came out. So it's an unspoken fact that I grew up absolutely loving this movie. I personally think it's a better movie than the original American Tale and yes I will absolutely fight you on that Haha

[GalenNight]

You know I find the scene with Tanya and Miss Kitty and Jimmy Stewart’s final monologue to be the high points of the movie

"I'm not working long on a joke when freedom is around the corner"

If he is leaving CA then this line is hilariously relevant.

For those wondering, this is most likely a pre-recorded episode Doug made a few weeks in advance. this may have been made BEFORE all the controversy. there is most likely still a few new episodes that haven't aired yet.

8:30 Something tells me John Cleese made the same face when he read that part in the script.
