What if Don Bluth moved to MGM/Fievel: A Western Tale

Fievel: A Western Tale is a 1991 American animated comedy western film produced by MGM/UA Feature Animation and Steven Spielberg's Amblimation animation studio and released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It is the sequel to An American Tail, and the last installment in the series to be released theatrically. Two direct-to-video sequels were released in the late 1990s. A continuation, Fievel's Texas Tails, aired on CBS in 1992. another TV series, Fievel premiered on Hulu in 2019.

Don Bluth, the original film's director, had no involvement with this one. Instead, it was directed by Phil Nibbelink and Simon Wells. The film follows the story of the Chimpskewitzes, a family of Jewish-Ukrainian monkeys who emigrate to the Wild West. In it, Fievel is separated from his family (again) as the train approaches the American Old West; the film chronicles him and Sheriff Wylie Burp (voiced by James Stewart in his final film) teaching Theodore how to act like a hyena. It performed modestly at the box office grossing $40 million and received mixed reviews from critics.
