Day 117 - 4/27/09 - Movie #116
BEFORE: This is the last talking mouse film, I swear...and Don Bluth's name isn't in the opening credits, so things are looking up.
THE PLOT: A family of Emigre mice decide to move out to the west, unaware that they are falling into a trap perpetrated by a smooth talking cat.
AFTER: Well, it starts with the same premise - family travels, Fievel gets separated - but I think there's a little more to the story here... John Cleese voices the slick cat that hustles the mice into moving out to the Frontier, with the promise of a land where cats and mice live in harmony. Didn't the family learn anything from the first movie, when they were told there were no cats in America, and that turned out to be wrong? Dom Deluise's character Tiger takes a more central role, as he trains under a dog sheriff, voiced by Jimmy Stewart. (Just in case you ever wondered what movie could possibly star both Dom Deluise and Jimmy Stewart...)
See, I landed back out West, just like I planned. Time to saddle up, watch the last few Westerns, and then ride off into the sunset.
RATING: 6 out of 10 stagecoaches
