An American Tail: Fievel Goes East

America's newest sweetheart is Shawn Johnson and shawty can hop, but one can't help but notice the striking similarities of the aerobatic heroine to the heroic cartoon mouse that is Fievel Mousekewitz.

The similarities don't stop at the appearances of the two.

Check out this description of Mousekewitz from Wikipedia. "Fievel is modeled on a curious, hyperactive and seemingly fearless [boy], darting through unfamiliar places and tackling cats head on...separated from his family [Fievel] becomes a very scared and lost child in a strange land, given hope and encouragement by the friends [he] meets on his search."

I know, my jaw dropped too at how unbelievable these resemblances are. These Olympics reek..............of destiny.
