There were a few Don Bluth movies that I was really into in my formative years; and how well they hold up to adult eyes can be a real gamble. "The Land Before Time" lasts extremely well, and I'm honestly curious about "The Secret of NIMH". But as for "An American Tail", it's still got that luster. It's an affecting story, the animation's easy on the eyes, and even the music's well done (or course it is, it's James Horner). Speaking of the music, this has one of the very best tie-in songs I've ever heard. It sounds good on the radio and captures the emotional vibe and somehow makes you forget that these movie pop songs can be painfully saccharine.
