Fievel's American Tails is an American/Canadian animated television series, produced by Amblimation, Nelvana, and Universal Cartoon Studios. It aired for one season in 1992, and continued Fievel's adventures from the film An American Tail: Fievel Goes West.
The show had a focus on promoting reading, and frequently the solution to an episode's conflict was found by Fievel reading. The character also appeared in public-service messages sponsored by the nonprofit Reading Is Fundamental.
After its abandonment for over two decades, NBCUniversal regain rights to the series in 2020.
Phillip Glasser, Dom DeLuise and Cathy Cavadini were the only actors from the film to reprise their roles, as Fievel, Tiger and Tanya respectively. Two notable characters, Wylie Burp and Tony Toponi, are written out from the series as James Stewart retired from acting and Pat Musick had some personal issues for at least a year after going through divorce back in 1991. Even Bridget, to whom Tony is married as of the second film, remains written out of this show as well.
