pretty much the same plot as the first one.

You might want to watch both movies again because how they handle the story is done very differently.

i might watch the first one again, but i wouldn't watch this one again. sure, they handle things a little differently, but the general idea is too similar for me to really enjoy it.

This explains so much! I saw this movie when I was a kid and always thought it was "An American Tail", but when I searched for it a few years ago I was surprised by how much the scenes differed from my memory!! But the main storyline was the same....Turns out it was "An American Tail: Fievel Goes West" that I saw as a kid!!

They are very similar but in my opinion this one did a better job. To me this is one of those times that a sequel surpasses the first movie.

I actually thought this was a really solid sequel despite some similarities but it certainly didn't meet or surpass the first one in music, art, animation or story. This one tried a little too hard to be funny and didn't quite succeed enough times
