"Fievel,
along with his mother, his Yiddish-speaking father, and
sisters Tanya and Yasha, lived in the American frontier
town of Green River—in a mouse-made city under the
humans' General Store. In this series of continuing
adventures, Fievel was learning to become a cowboy. He was
also trying to avoid the wrath—and stomach—of the
shady, monocle-wearing Cat R. Waul, who, along with his naďve
sidekicks Chula the tarantula and Sweet William, set up
shop at the Morton Walton Funerals Building. Fievel
had some assistance from Tiger the Cat, his occasionally
bashful feline friend, who always kept an eye on the tiny
mouse. Other members of Fievel’s multicultural community
were an Australian mouse named Jack and a Hispanic mouse
named Jorge. The
prominent themes in Fievel’s American Tails were ones of
respect and peaceful coexistence, concerns just as
important today as they were in the Old West. Fievel, ever
the model mouse, often set the example by placing
friendship and respect above everything else. But kind
hearts and well-placed lessons couldn't compensate for
struggling ratings, and Fievel's American Tails were cut
off after a single season." Special
