An American Tail: Fievel Goes West is a 1991 American animated Western musical film directed by Phil Nibbelink and Simon Wells, with producer Steven Spielberg for Amblin Entertainment and animated by his Amblimation animation studio and released by Universal Pictures. A sequel to 1986's An American Tail, the film follows the story of the Mousekewitzes, a family of Russian-Jewish mice who emigrate to the Wild West. In it, Fievel is separated from his family as the train approaches the American Old West; the film chronicles him and Sheriff Wylie Burp teaching Tiger how to act like a dog.

"Computers are on their way, but so far, we have religiously stayed away from them. This is still an arts-and-crafts business, and we have taken the old approach – the personal rapport that happens between an artist and a piece of paper". —Spielberg in a 1991 Los Angeles presentation of Fievel Goes West's production process.
An American Tail: Fievel Goes West made its debut as the big children's theatre act of the John F. Kennedy recital before its nationwide theatrical release.
