An American Tail Live was a live outdoor stage show featuring characters from the motion picture An American Tail (1986). It was located in the now occupied Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, adjacent to the Fievel’s Playland area.
The set design for the show was all scaled so that the performers in mouse costumes looked tiny.
The “lead” mice had animatronic eyes and mouths which were operated by the dancers themselves (via triggers in the gloves). Tiger the cat was a mechanical puppet. He was operated by three people; one on each arm and a third buckled into a chair sitting in the torso who could move the head using handlebars and control the mouth, eyes and eyebrows through a series of cable triggers much like the brakes on a bicycle. The operator on the cat’s right arm had a cable control that could open and close the bottom two of Tiger’s four fingers. This allowed him to point and approximate holding on to Fievel during parts of the show. The show was performed to a pre-recorded soundtrack.
Fievel can still be seen around the park as part of Streetmosphere.
ABOUT THE FILM
An American Tail is a 1986 American animated musical adventure comedy-drama film directed by Don Bluth from a screenplay by Judy Freudberg and Tony Geiss and a story by David Kirschner, Freudberg and Geiss. The film features the voices of Phillip Glasser, John Finnegan, Amy Green, Nehemiah Persoff, Dom DeLuise, and Christopher Plummer. It tells the story of Fievel Mousekewitz and his family as they emigrate from Shostka to the United States for freedom. However, he gets lost and must find a way to reunite with them.
The film was released in the United States on November 21, 1986, by Universal Pictures. It received mixed reviews and was a box office hit, making it the highest-grossing non-Disney animated film at the time. Its success, along with that of fellow Bluth film The Land Before Time and Disney's Who Framed Roger Rabbit (both 1988), and Bluth's departure from their partnership, prompted executive producer Steven Spielberg to establish his own animation studio, Amblimation, in London, England. The film spawned a franchise that included a sequel, An American Tail: Fievel Goes West (1991); a CBS TV series, Fievel's American Tails (1992); and two additional direct-to-video sequels, An American Tail: The Treasure of Manhattan Island (1998) and An American Tail: The Mystery of the Night Monster (1999).
A Fievel-themed playground, called "Fievel's Playland", was built at Universal Studios Florida, featuring a large water slide and many oversized objects such as books, glasses, cowboy boots, and more. A similar playground used to be at Universal Studios Hollywood, alongside a stage show based on the two movies, but were closed down in 1997 and replaced with Coke Soak and Terminator 2 T2-3D: Battle Across Time. It is the only such playground at any Universal Studios theme parks.
