Issue 5: Animation Tribute Cover - An American Tail (1986)

itsjustaar on Jan. 6, 2012

Just like the banner which should be up by the time you read this (or sooner than you think), this entire year will feature tribute banners and covers based on notable and noteworthy films. Appropriately, as we're on Vinnie's side of the story, we have a tribute and nod to Steven Spielberg and Don Bluth's film - An American Tail.

Sadly relegated to bargain bin specials like most of films by the latter animator, this film has fans as large as Great Mouse Detective's... and yet, we see so few of it out there in a special edition package. I'd like something with a lot of material, or at least something bigger than what it has. Odd, considering the movie was actually rather powerful in the box office. Sure, it had sequels, of which I generally prefer the second (though Waul could have been much better and stronger; the dark themes should have continued in it), but the first film stood out amongst many. I can't begin to describe how many love this film. I don't have much connection to it, and while I may not be a huge fan, it's worth noting.
