Stop hand

If you wanna intimidate someone, give 'em the lazy eye!
~ Wylie Burp
Just remember, Fievel. One man's sunset is another man's dawn. I don't know what's out there beyond those hills. But if you ride yonder, head up, eyes steady, heart open...I think one day you'll find that you're the hero you've been looking for.
~ Wylie Burp to Fievel
Wylie Burp

Wylie Burp is the dog sheriff and the overarching protagonist of the 1991 sequel, An American Tail: Fievel Goes West. Fievel told him about Cat R. Waul's evil plan, and they join forces together to stop Cat R. Waul from turning the mice of Green River and Fievel's family into mouseburgers. After Cat R. Waul and his men flew into the mail bag, Wylie and Fievel talk for a while.

Wylie is voiced by by the late James Stewert (in his final film role).

Story[]

Fievel walks about the town, he stops to talk with an elderly bloodhound sleeping outside the jail and discovers that the old dog is actually Wylie Burp. Fievel's initial attempt to get Wylie to help fails as the former hero claims he is too old to fight the battles he once did but states he is willing to train a replacement, and Fievel convinces him to help and train Tiger as a lawman and as a dog. Tiger is reluctant at first but relents at the suggestion that a new persona might win back Miss Kitty. Though struggling in the beginning, Tiger successfully meets Wylie's expectations and all three go back to Green River to fight the cats, who attempt to kill the mice at sunset during the opening of a festival by using a concealed giant mousetrap. Tiger, Wylie Burp and Fievel intervene and battle the cats, during which Miss Kitty and Tanya discover the trap. Tanya rushes to the mice and, using her singing (and knowing that Cat R. Waul will not allow the trap to be triggered if she is there), alerts them to the trap and warns them to flee. Seeing this, Cat R. Waul unveils a giant revolver, which he fires at the fleeing mice as a makeshift cannon, until Wylie Burp catapults Fievel to the gun, which the mouse quickly intercepts from and attempts to use against Cat R. Waul. When T.R. Chula threatens to kill Miss Kitty in an attempt to force Fievel to back down, however, an incensed Tiger rescues her and uses T.R. Chula's web as a lasso with him trapped on, with Fievel hurtling Cat R. Waul and his men out of town by having them piled on part of the trap, which the heroes use as a catapult. The cats fly into the air and land into a mailbag, which a passing train picks up and leaves.

Enamoured by his new personality, Miss Kitty and Tiger are reunited. Tanya becomes a famous singer and the water tower flows with 1,000 gallons of water again, making Green River bloom with thousands of flowers. Fievel finds Wylie away from the party who hands him his sheriff badge. Fievel is unsure about taking it, but after receiving words of advice from the old sheriff he accepts and realizes that his journey is not over.

Trivia[]

  • He is a parody of the great Wild West lawman Wyatt Earp.
