Episode 5
Wednesday, 12 November, 2025
Harry and Daniel are joined by caricature artist Robin Schwartzman to revisit Don Bluth and Steven Spielberg’s animated classic An American Tail, the story of Fievel Mousekewitz and his family’s journey from Russia to America. Beneath its colorful animation and unforgettable songs lies a deeply Jewish immigration story, echoing themes of displacement, perseverance, and hope. The hosts explore the film’s historical context, its portrayal of Jewish immigrant life, and the lasting cultural impact of Fievel as a symbol of resilience and belonging.An American Tail on IMDb - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090633/An American Tail Trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTQ0qTubGz8Robin's LinksBuy a signed copy of "Drawing Influence" - https://www.drawinginfluence.com/shopFind Robin Schwartzman on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/robinschwartzman/Connect with Jews on Film online:Jews on Film Merch - https://jews-on-film.printify.me/productsInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/jewsonfilm/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jewsonfilmpodYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@jewsonfilmTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@jewsonfilmpod
