The factory owners in this movie run a cheese factory, not a clothes factory. The sweatshop owner could have been Moe, the big rat from the first movie, for all we know.


** Of course, the beginning of ''The Mystery of the Night Monster'' mentions that slave-driving clothing factory owners were exposed by Nellie Brie and put in jail. Those factory owners could likely be the third film's main villains, although it isn't exactly stated who they were.

* While ''The Treasure of Manhattan Island'' doesn't really have any specific moments that will leave you bawling, it's a surprisingly depressing movie in its own right, tackling themes of racism, police brutality and sweatshops. It doesn't even have much of a happy ending. The underground Native Americans decide that Europeans are incapable of sharing the upper world with them (having witnessed PoliceBrutality and a race riot), so they seal off the main tunnel. And the villains behind it only get off with a slap on the wrist. The ''An American Tail'' universe really is a bit of a CrapsaccharineWorld.
* Fievel tearing up upon realizing just how horrible the Europeans were to the Native Americans, and feeling partly responsible (though his family only recently moved to the country).
