An American Tail: Fievel Goes West - Nostalgia Critic

[@dastemplar9681]

You got to admit, the ending scene was by far one of the best. And the fact that Jimmy Stewart, an acting legend marked the end of his acting career by saying something that was actually really beautiful and powerful. As if he was giving us his last word of advice.

I mean, James Stewart really kicked ass look at. It’s a wonderful life and Harvey. Those movies are awesome.

[@DavidRay39]

This was about five years before he passed away.

[@KyleHarrisonRedacted]

A big theme in this movie is Fievel's imagination. We constantly see manifestations of his imagination the entire run time. That's why his hat does that and no one questions it. Because to everyone else in the film, it's still his old hat

[@Nightwalker973]

They used his imagination to basically retcon this movie away in the third.

Honestly, I like Tamara; as a person, she seems nice. But damn, her shows are absolutely awful. There's no production to them. It's just her talking with no semblance of structure and barely any clips. As for Channel Awesome... honestly, team-up sites like it are a thing of the past and simply aren't needed in the age of KZbin and Patreon (and a few former contributors like Angry Joe had long ago outgrown CA). This controversy only quickened the inevitable. I will still watch the Nostalgia Critic if Doug leaves the site though.

"Very Good Animation?” More like GREAT animation! It may not be Don Bluth, but it's still very well done. The drawings, the movements, the fast speed, and the lighting. The money and hard work are all there onscreen. Rest in peace, Amblimation Studios (1989-1997).

[@spinningpeanut]

[@42Caio]

Doug apparently left Channel Awesome (his social media info updated that he is not currently employed by them), but he has yet to make any announcements. If true, then with him (and presumably Rob) pretty much everyone left. It's time to pack and go home, and hope Doug can try and win the rights to the Nostalgia Critic back from Michaud in court.

[@booklover4330]

Well if that's true that's good, he can always create reviews without using the Nostalgia Critic if he wanted to, while it's a huge part of who he is, he doesn't need it. He likely makes reviews weeks, maybe even months in advance, so we'll probably see a few more Nostalgia Critic reviews of his on this channel, but they're pre recorded.

I actually watched this movie as a little kid before the Don Bluth original and even though this probably wouldn't hold up for me now as an adult, I have to say the animation looks as good as I remember it being!

Zoltan Z: Yeah, I have, but regardless of whether I have worked or not and who your CEO, manager, boss or whatever you prefer to call him or her. Taking responsibility and adressing your companys screw ups direcrly is usually a pretty good idea, instead of "Oh uhm... sorry you all feel that way and here's a chatlog, it doesn't prove shit, but you're all lying, not us. Nothing ever happened, sucks to be you. Bye." I mean really Michaud, that's the limit of you being a responsible CEO?

[@mellowhero3520]

Wedge Antilles At this point, Michaud probably has Doug under NDA. Regardless of what is or isn't true, I'm pretty sure that the reason we haven't anything more is because it's all being handled by lawyers, and Doug for legal reasons can't comment further for contractual reasons that could land him with fines in the hundreds of thousands in punitive damages at least. Nevermind not knowing the conditions for his exit from CA. As it stands, this is likely to go quiet for a few months, and then surface as a 3 minute segmwnt on the Philip DeFranco show.
