Visuals: On a black background, Fievel Mousekewitz (from An American Tail) pushes in from the right a modified version of the 1985 Amblin Entertainment logo, only here it reads "AMBLIMATION" in a yellow-red gradient Optima font. The same "shadow wipe" effect is applied to the text as Fievel pushes, and it stops when he stops. He dusts off his hands and leans against the logo with his arms crossed; his hat falls over his eyes, but he pushes it back up and then blinks twice before the logo fades out.

Variants:

• On An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, the animation is rougher and the colors are oversaturated. Also, Fievel's tail is visible and thicker. Later on, the logo was revised, and the animation was also cleaned up.
• An open matte version exists, which can be found on the 35mm uncropped film scan prints of An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story, and Balto.

Technique: Traditional animation.

Audio: None or the closing theme of the movie.
