An American Tail: Fievel Goes West - Miss Kitty

An American Tail: Fievel Goes West is a 1991 British-American animated comedy Western film produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblimation animation studio and released by Universal Pictures.

honestly miss kitty would make a great mother because she is just so warm and maternal and really knows what to say to brighten your day.

Tanya already has a mother.

And the most best part is that she never eats mice and even tries to warn all mice that the cats were planning to set a mouse trap on them.

Man, old cartoons just hit different. Sure, there's some stuff that's dated here and there, but hey, it was a different time. Just tell your kids what is and isn't still applicable. But when those oldie-goldies strike the right notes, there's just nothing else like it.

[@average-art3222]

Honestly, cartoon back then were something, magical I say. Animators then were always putting effort and love into their creation, giving a message and showing that there is always a way out of bad situations, even if it looks hard, bad, terrible, even horrible, just know that in the end of the road: You'll get there eventually

[@berengerdietiker22]

Interesting how Tanya was so lost in her singing, she didn't realize she's in the company of her natural predator until after her song ended.

[@kipechawolfeortiz8791]

They really don't make cartoons the way they used to. It's so sad. This movie is art.

[@armandoucles5346]

I think it's cute how in the first film, Fievel finds a cat friend in Tiger and in the second film, Tanya finds a cat friend in Miss Kitty. But between the two films, this one is arguably way better than the original in my opinion. This has more comedy, more action, the animation is stunning and the story is well written.

The last YES from Tanya. Girl really wants her dream but is so scared to desire something that hard.

[@Materiabar]

Ever since I was a kid I loved Miss Kitty. She's someone who knows how showbiss and the world works, someone calm but who won't take crap from anyone. Yet she's also really sweet. I love the animation of her paw gently holding Tanya. Also the advice she gives to her is gold. Couple that with an elegant purple dress, expressive animation (notice for example the confident hip sway and facial expressions), add a fitting voice and you've got a great character.

[@englishatheart]

"Body positivity." Covers her in makeup. 🤔

[@katziliaf]

@@englishatheart That's makeup for the stage. The idea of makeup is not just to "cover up", but also to highlight. That's why women like using makeup a lot and why many chose it even as professions. Makeup is art. With eyeliner, you can make your eyes look bigger, or highlight how big they are already -that's why I like using it. Stage makeup -though it's still "just makeup" - has the side effect for an actor/actress, that 1.) it's needed in connection to light (don't want your skin glow like a firefly's ass) and 2.) it feels like a mask, under which you can be anything you like. If you put makeup on, it often feels like watching a transformation of your face as well as your person. Tanya is new to the buisness and not used to makeup. But together with Kitty's words, the dress and the little bit of makeup (also a bit of a symbol for womanhood/ladyhood), she feels like she was "transformed" / "took on the mask" of a little diva herself. That's it. No rocket science.

What's more something I admired about her, is her wisdom. She sees the passion Tania has, the talent she just heard herself, yet she doesn't just want to bring that out of Tania but help her walk the path of a true lady. In the quotes she said; "You wouldn't be an artist if you weren't a teensy bit nervous." "Remember, the real lady is what's under the mask. Now go knock 'em dead." No doubt Miss Kitty with her experience knows that new talents can get the fame get to their heads at times, and I think Kitty wants to encourage Tania as much as help her. Such a wholesome character overall.

I know that might sound a bit young even for someone like me to be into for kinds of things, but that’s the reason why I got into makeup because of Miss Kitty and Miss Kitty is the powerful yet motherly feminine that I adored and admired like I had never adored and admired anyone before.

And honestly, ever since my poor dearest brother Rory passed away from blood disorder on Mother’s Day at the RPA hospital in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic, I felt like I was not beautiful and bright after all because I had a pretty face, happy and positive on the outside maybe, but on the inside I was nothing but a ugly heart, sad and negative and beats the heart of a mental scars that never heals and bleeds ever god damn day and I also felt like the world has turned against me. I mean, my other brother Dylan doesn’t have time for me that often, my mother and grandmother worries too much, always hold me back and never allows me to do anything or anyone and heck, even my father doesn’t love and care about me as a daughter anymore. But for Miss Kitty, ever since she inspired me to be the bestest beautiful me that I can be no matter what I am or who I am or even what I look like along with the famous quote that stayed with me forever and ever even before everything I know, love and remember had changed completely and this is just my way of saying how truly forever grateful I am for her.

@@Debthouse What was really unusual about the film was...Steven Spielberg wanted it to be staged like a live action picture, not an easy thing to do before CGI. There is a lot of use of depth of field, perspective on the characters, a moving camera, and LONG scenes...the one where Kitty calls Cat R. Waul "pussy poos' and he objects is over 40 feet long, nearly 30 seconds! And he actually forbade the animators to have 'held' drawings...Kristof Serrand and I were the only two who got to do them, each of us did it in one scene. You can see me using a 'hold' at the end of Cat R. Waul's line 'WHAT?" I thought it was a very cinematic picture with great potential. Unfortunately the script did not play up the main characters (the Mousekewitzes) and there were too many plot digressions. The film was released theatrically against BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, a film with a much stronger story. When all is said and done, it is the story that audiences come to see.

Miss kitty was my fave since i was child

[@kodrewmaxwell3580]

Tanya Mousekewitz: You miss Tiger so much, huh? Miss Kitty: Sometimes. He's like a fraidy cat, Tanya. I want a cat who's more like a dog. Tanya Mousekewitz: Mm-hmm.

[@Vikingr4Jesus5919]

I bet she wanted more action in life - and yes, Tiger was a bit of a fraidy cat - but Tiger was genuine and supported her singing career (as you can tell by the photos). Show me one sensible woman that wouldn't want her guy to support her.

[@dakotahrednour5245]

When she said she wants a cat who is more like a dog she means she wants a doggish cat.

He hasn't been the same since Professor Ratigan burnt down his theater.

I need a Miss Kitty in my life

MISS KITTY is BEAUTIFUL and her hair is GORGEOUS LIKE AN ANGEL

[@makayleewhite5225]

I always wondered where Tanya got the purple eyeshadow on her eyes when Miss Kitty only put blush on her? 🤔

[@PrinceRowen]

It's some of that Don Bluth magic ✨

[@RaindropsBleeding]

I always wondered the same thing

[@JoLiKMC]

Why does Amy Irving (Miss Kitty) sound so much like Sherri Stoner (Slappy Squirrel)?

[@13sinra13]

True. They sound relatively within the same range.

[@hopperhelp1]

Oh they’re different people? I was about to search it if they were both voice by Sherri Stoner. I literally thought “Is that the same VA for Slappy Squirrel?”.

[@ArashiAiko]

I used to love this movie...

[@wiilov]

I still do.

[@rabbit0664]

Still love it myself too

This is exactly the kind of person Meg (Family Guy) needs for a real caring mother figure to guide her through life.

@ffhjvbuydb78eb Cats legs aren't meant to move that way IRL so it's funny to see.

I got in huge trouble when I was a kid because I called my sister “Pussy Poo” because I had heard it in this movie, I never knew why until I got much older

[@TacoBellCheatDay]

LMFAO! I'm sorry but that made my morning 😂

[@vanessahanson9491]

She's one of the few cats who has a heart

To be completely honest wacthing made want miss kitty as mother because unfortunately didn't have 1 in ny life 😢

[@knottyorchid1212]

When I was a kid I thought the voice of Miss Kitty was Bernadette Peters. Turns out it's Amy Irving Guess I'm used to Bernadette voicing cats a lot
