(Kaitlin Randolph)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWatching this mainstream hit American animated movie where the central character and the central family were specifically Jewish \u2014 it was unusual,\u201d Moses told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. \u201cI think there was something that felt inclusive to us about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now a Tony Award-winning playwright, Moses has adapted the children\u2019s classic for the stage. \u201cAn American Tail the Musical\u201d will premiere at the Children\u2019s Theatre Company in Minneapolis on April 25 and run through June 18. Along with writing by Moses, who won his Tony for a Broadway adaptation of the Israeli film \u201cThe Band\u2019s Visit,\u201d the new production features familiar songs such as \u201cSomewhere Out There\u201d and new music and lyrics by Michael Mahler and Alan Schmuckler (\u201cDiary of a Wimpy Kid the Musical\u201d). The team hopes to tour the show if it has success in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n<p>The original film created by Don Bluth and Steven Spielberg follows the journey of a young, tenacious mouse named Fievel Mousekewitz. Fievel\u2019s family lives below the human Moskowitz family in Shostka, a city in the Russian Empire, in 1885. Spielberg, who had yet to make \u201cSchindler\u2019s List\u201d or widely address his Jewish family history, named the character after his maternal grandfather \u2014 Phillip or \u201cFievel\u201d Posner \u2014 an immigrant from Russia.<\/p>\n<p>The movie begins with the Mousekewitzes and the Moskowitzes celebrating Hanukkah when Cossacks tear through Shostka in an antisemitic pogrom, together with their animal counterparts \u2014 a battery of evil cats. The Mouskewitzes flee Europe and board a ship to America, where Papa Mouskewitz (voiced by Nehemiah Persoff) promises \u201cthere are no cats\u201d and \u201cthe streets are paved with cheese.\u201d But a thunderstorm at sea washes Fievel overboard, leaving his devastated parents and sister to arrive in New York City without him. Although they believe he did not survive, Fievel floats to shore in a bottle and sets out to find his family.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Of course, he quickly learns there are cats in America \u2014 along with corruption and exploitation. Fievel is sold to a sweatshop by Warren T. Rat, a cat disguised as a rat. A crooked mouse politician called Honest John (a caricature of the real Tammany Hall boss John Kelly) wanders Irish wakes, scribbling dead mice\u2019s names in his list of \u201cghost votes.\u201d But Fievel finds camaraderie with other immigrant mice rallying for freedom from the cats\u2019 attacks and Warren T. Rat\u2019s extortion. He befriends Italian mouse Tony and Irish mouse Bridget, who join the quest to reunite his family.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_74056\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-17-23-KER_8614.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-74056\" class=\"wp-image-74056 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-17-23-KER_8614-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-17-23-KER_8614-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-17-23-KER_8614-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-17-23-KER_8614-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-17-23-KER_8614-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-17-23-KER_8614.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/200;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-74056\" class=\"wp-image-74056 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-17-23-KER_8614-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-17-23-KER_8614-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-17-23-KER_8614-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-17-23-KER_8614-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-17-23-KER_8614-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-17-23-KER_8614.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-74056\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A scene from rehearsal. (Kaitlin Randolph)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The film\u2019s metaphors will be presented similarly in the stage version, which is also set in the 1880s, although Moses has expanded its lens on the immigrant groups that populated New York at the time. The musical will incorporate more \u201cmice\u201d communities, such as Chinese, Caribbean and Scandinavian mice, along with African Americans and former slaves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn American Tail\u201d was part of a shift in mainstream media toward Jewish representation, said Jennifer Caplan, an assistant professor of Judaic Studies at the University of Cincinnati who has studied this cultural change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt came out in 1986, and then \u2018Seinfeld\u2019 premiered in 1989,\u201d Caplan told the JTA. \u201cPeople point to 1989 as this moment when representations of Jews changed. There was this feeling in the late \u201880s that people were looking for new, different, possibly even more explicit representations of Jews.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet despite the movie\u2019s resonance with children like Moses, some film critics complained that it wasn\u2019t Jewish enough. Critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert gave the film \u201ctwo thumbs down\u201d on a 1986 episode of their program \u201cAt The Movies,\u201d calling it \u201cway too depressing\u201d for children and arguing that it \u201cchickened out\u201d of an explicitly Jewish story. Ebert noted that while most adults would understand the Mousekewitzes were Jewish, the word \u201cJewish\u201d never appears in the film, potentially leaving young audiences in the dark.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis seems to be a Jewish parable that doesn\u2019t want to declare itself,\u201d he said at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike in Art Spiegelman\u2019s graphic novel \u201cMaus,\u201d where Jews are mice and Nazis are cats, the cat-and-mouse metaphor of \u201cAn American Tail\u201d is expansive. The cats represent a universal force of oppression \u2014 Cossacks in Russia or capitalists in America \u2014 while the mice encompass all persecuted immigrants, regardless of their religion, ethnicity or national origin.<\/p>\n<p>Caplan admitted that some might not have seen it as a Jewish story at the time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 1986, we\u2019re right at the birth of the multicultural push in American schools,\u201d said Caplan. \u201cYou\u2019ve got kids who are learning about the melting pot. I think if you are not looking for the coded Jewishness and you\u2019re not familiar with it, then this just seems like a movie about immigrants.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_74057\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-17-23-Itamar-Moses-Book-Writer.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-74057\" class=\"wp-image-74057 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-17-23-Itamar-Moses-Book-Writer-300x211.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"211\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-17-23-Itamar-Moses-Book-Writer-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-17-23-Itamar-Moses-Book-Writer-768x539.png 768w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-17-23-Itamar-Moses-Book-Writer.png 1001w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/211;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-74057\" class=\"wp-image-74057 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-17-23-Itamar-Moses-Book-Writer-300x211.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-17-23-Itamar-Moses-Book-Writer-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-17-23-Itamar-Moses-Book-Writer-768x539.png 768w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-17-23-Itamar-Moses-Book-Writer.png 1001w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-74057\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Itamar Moses won acclaim for adapting &#8220;The Band&#8217;s Visit&#8221; for Broadway. (Courtesy of Moses)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>But Moses, who said the movie held a \u201cmystical place\u201d in his imagination, did not view the story\u2019s broad allegory as a shortcoming. Instead, he saw an opportunity to pull its continuous thread for a message he hopes will feel relevant today: that while immigrants discover inequality and abuse in America, the forces of injustice are changeable, and that people can overcome life\u2019s harsh realities through \u201cgrit and hard work and coming together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat message is always timely, but definitely coming out of the last few years and the conversations that America is having about immigration,\u201d said Moses. \u201cI wanted to tell this story that\u2019s really a fable, so you can get at these ideas indirectly as opposed to in a dry, didactic way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jodi Eichler-Levine, a Jewish studies professor at Lehigh University, argued the tale\u2019s success lies in being a \u201cstory of Jewish immigration that appeals to non-Jews as well\u201d and called the movie a \u201cfairytale about America.\u201d It premiered 100 years after the Statue of Liberty\u2019s dedication in 1886, amid centennial celebrations of the country\u2019s immigration history. In the film, the statue comes alive, winking at Fievel and his sister once they find each other and look west at the vast expanse of the United States.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Whether viewers still buy into the optimistic crescendo of \u201cAn American Tail\u201d remains to be seen. Do Americans still believe, as Moses hopes, that immigrants and oppressed peoples can unite to overthrow the tyrants of unfettered capitalism? A Gallup poll from February showed that Americans\u2019 satisfaction with the country\u2019s level of immigration has dropped to 28%, the lowest point in a decade.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Moses is betting that children\u2019s theater has a way of refreshing themes adults have exhausted with political discourse. Children want to grapple with the ideas at the core of the show, he said, such as \u201cthe needs of the individual and the needs of the collective, the need to go out on your own but still remain connected to your family and your background.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe most successful material for kids tends to engage with real things that they\u2019re thinking about and worrying about,\u201d he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Today, another wave of families has fled Fievel\u2019s hometown: though Shostka was part of the Russian Empire in the 19th century, it is now in the Sumy region of northeastern Ukraine. The Sumy Oblast was among the first regions stormed by Russian forces in February 2022 and continues to suffer daily shelling. Eichler-Levine expects that global refugee crises will only continue to broaden the appeal of a migration story.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ideas [in An American Tail] are sadly relevant for most of the planet right now, given that climate change and devastation from war are leading to another tremendous wave of global migration,\u201d said Eichler-Levine.<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"Tumblr\",\"Email\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"%E2%80%98An%20American%20Tail%2C%E2%80%99%20the%20classic%20animated%20film%20about%20Russian-Jewish%20mice%20who%20immigrate%20to%20America%2C%20is%20now%20a%20musical\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":74055,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,7122],"tags":[13017,9424,8790,8795,8788],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74054"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74054"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74054\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":74058,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74054\/revisions\/74058"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74055"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74054"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74054"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74054"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
