An American Tail: Fievel Goes West - Fievel and Wylie Burp watch the sunset

[@cobracorporal6738]

*"One man's sunset is another man's dawn. I don't know what's out there beyond those hills. But if you ride yonder... head up, eyes steady, heart open... I think one day you'll find that you're the hero you've been looking for"* James Stewart

Only an cinematic icon can deliver poignant beautiful words and that cinematic icon is was and forever will be jimmy stewart and espically in this film. If this was to be Jimmy's last film ever let him go out like the icon he is was & forever will be and he delivered in this scene no question.

[@icky46111]

Coming back to this as an adult, it hits so much harder than it did for me as a kid. There was something so special in the wordless subtlety behind Fievel flipping his cowboy hat back to his original one. It was such a great way of showing, not telling, that he could be a hero by being himself, rather than emulating someone else. With the added context that this was Jimmy (James) Stewart's last ever movie, the lines he delivers hit even damn harder. I am unafraid to say that this ending makes me need to have a good contemplative cry.

[@hengulbarua5256]

I Miss You 🥰

[@HihiouZabimaru182]

Couple of years ago I was in the US Army serving out of Fort Hood about one hour north of Austin TX. As my time in service came to a close and I left for the last time I took one last look at the place I called home for two years, and I swear I could hear this music in my head. It was hilariously appropriate considering the sun was about to set as I took off for the last time. Felt like some sort of cowboy riding off into the sunset with this rocking in my brain. Sure made leaving and the drive home a memorable one.

[@andsings13]

[@furiousfinch1587]

I always, even as a child, believed that Wylie went there to die peacefully, watching the sunset.

[@sonyab.5709]

That's just too sad. Why then, would he say that Fievel pulled him out of the gutter? He has more in him.

[@buck_williams8841]

@@sonyab.5709 If you've ever seen the full movie, earlier when Fievel actually met him, Wylie said, "Let this sleepin' dog lie, son. Dog-gone it, I'm dog tired. I'm tired of leading the dog's life and fightin' likes cats and dogs against cats and dogs, a young pup's doggin' my trail tryin' to become top dog. I'm going to the dogs in a dog eat dog world, son. I... I'm so far over the hill... I'm on the bottom of the other side. " And then here, he told Fievel that he pulled him out of that gutter.

[@_Blaize_]

Well, not as a kid, but same here. I liked to think, in my child innocence, more that he retired there and died later on.

[@gravethebeyond]

This movie and this scene inspired me to be the hero I always was as a kid. Now I'm like deadpool. But still the hero. Giving words of wisdom when I can. And I think he means Fievel pulled Wylie out of the gutter of his mind. Fievel gave Wylie a reason to stand up once more.

[@kornmasterdan]

Such a poignant lesson he gives. Fievel says he's not a hero like him, yet in a way he was Wylie's hero for believing in him when he didn't believe in himself. Fievel also believed in Tiger. As a result, both "dogs" saved "the old west". All because Fievel pushed them to be the best they could be. Even after all that, Fievel still refuses that notion that he's hero. That's what real heros do.

[@agavegrove]

Sooo much could be said about this short clip, the man that said it, what he meant. God bless James Stewart. Greatest actor of our time.

As a kid, I enjoyed this sequel more than Spielberg’s heavy on the drama, social commentary that is An American Tail, but I don’t know if I’d call this one of the greatest animated movies of all time. An American Tail definitely fits that category. Though, with it being Jimmy Stewart delivering these lines in his final role just a handful of years before his passing, this scene on its own is one of the best.

[@GreatWestern175]

This scene is so fitting as it was ironically Jimmy Stewart's last film to star in. My late grandad was a fan of him alongside other Western actors Clint Eastwood and John Wayne, whenever I came to see him he would be watching western films on TV and always called me his "little cowboy" over 30 years later I've inherited his western genes fandom :)

[@gravethebeyond]

I passed the torch myself, to both my little 2nd cousin's by giving them each a cowboy hat and giving them some words of wisdom that I hope will last a life time. They live half way across the country. I told them both when they were visiting last week; just take every day one day at a time, and to be safe and have fun. And if your looking for a hero, look in a mirror, because you been there all along.

[@Aslimb6gd]

0:44 This sums up the cycle of legendary actors like Jimmy himself. Those who had a wonderful life inspire and indirectly help create more. It's gotten stronger In recent years. We've lost Alan Rickman, Robin Williams, Christopher Lee, and many others. But while we still have more legends to look up to like Mark Hamill, Stan Lee, and others, others take the place of those who have gone. It's a cycle that reminds us that we're never truly alone. There's always a spark of inspiration and hope that cycles through life in many categories. Not just celebrity actors and other idols, but family, and many others.

Since he trained under a parody of Wyatt Earp, he eventually invests in a gold-tipped black cane and derby hat, and goes out hunting outlaws and promoting boxers under the alias "Rat Masterson" (rodent version of "Bat Masterson"). As for Tiger, he keeps his canine self that Wylie put in him, and since he too was trained by a parody of Wyatt Earp, he hunts outlaws alongside Fievel under the alias "Dog Howliday" (canine version of "Doc Holliday"). Together, they form posses in pursuit of the most notorious outlaws of the west. Including the likes of Butch Catsidy and The Sundance Kitty. How's THAT for a new installment to this series, people?
