    Better than the Original, 2008-08-24
This is an excellent movie. Great writing, songs, and ideas make it worthy of the name, and better than the original. But why is this the last one so far?
br /
br /I enjoyed the original American Tail. It had a good plot, and some very high quality animation sequences. I will admit, that if you are looking for anything as detailed as the boat scene in the first movie, you will not find it in 'The Night Monster'. The animation is however, true to the style and small details of the original. Metal planks are given the shades of color for example. There's nothing bland about it, and the nightmare sequences are really great.

br /So the movie is easy on the eyes. The story is really the strong point here. The writers are experiences movie goers. When I saw this movies take on the Odessa Steps sequence, though I already knew this was a great movie, I was convinced. There's no slow parts, no cheesy moments, just solid heartfelt writing with an idea that doesn't rehash an old series idea. The songs too, are really excellent. They're miles better than anything in the first movie.
br /
br /A leap ahead of the original in quality, this movie rocks. So why after nearly a decade, is there no 5th movie? Yeah, end on a high note, but don't end too soon if you still have great ideas to give. An American Tail is not a limited formula for story telling. There are many unique ideas to place on these characters.
br /
br /Here's asking that this is not the last American Tail.
