Today's kids should know about "An American Tail" and its sequel, "Fievel Goes West," as they remain two of the finest examples of traditional western animation that still hold up decades later.


Don Bluth and Steven Spielberg brought us these masterpieces, which are both as dark but meaningful as the original Land Before Time (also a Don Bluth film), and hold up really well.I grew up with these movies and am 33 now but watched Fievel Goes West again tonight and thought of how today's kids just get 3D Pixar/Dreamworks flicks, and hope that the classics of "traditional" animation don't get buried among them. Not that I have anything against those studios or anything, though.Plus FGW has John Cleese and Dom DeLuise. What's not to love?And then of course there's "All Dogs Go To Heaven", another Don Bluth flick with the tragic Judith Barsi voicing the main character alongside Burt Reynolds.Edit: Honourable mention to "The Secret of NIMH" and the book it was based on. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3gDg74Q
