What if Don Bluth moved to MGM/Fivel: An American Tail

An American Tale is a 1986 American animated family musical adventure comedy-drama film produced by MGM/UA Animation and released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It is directed by Don Bluth, produced by Burny Mattinson, and executive produced by Steven Spielberg.

An American Tale was released on November 21, 1986. It received mixed-to-positive reviews and was a box office success, making it MGM's highest-grossing film at the time. The film's success, along with that of The Land Before Time, prompted Steven Spielberg to be an executive producer in most MGM animated films in the 1990s, until he finished his contract in 1995.
