Anywhere in Your Dreams

A song that Fievel and Cholena sing together in An American Tail: The Treasure of Manhattan Island, to cheer Fievel up since he feels guilty about what the Europeans did to her people. It's about how anything can happen in your dreams. Many fans see this as a romantic moment between the two of them. The lyrics might be interpreted as Cholena longing to leave the underground hideout and see the world, feeling trapped by it, and only being able to leave in her dreams. During the song they take a ride in a series of baskets hanging over Cholena's village, and Tony tries to stop them because he thinks it's dangerous. A "clean" version of the song without any background noises or Tony's shouting can be found in the DVD extras, as a Sing-Along.

The song was written by Wayne Tester and Sharon Rice; and performed by Thomas Dekker and Leeza Miller (replacing Cholena's voice actress Elaine Bilstad).

Lyrics
Cholena: Anywhere in your dreams Anywhere you can imagine A bright new door is waiting for you to open You can go anywhere Anywhere in your dreams

Just close your eyes You might be surprised What's inside you

Fievel: Dreams are like steps It's hard to guess where they'll guide you

Cholena: You can go anywhere in your dreams Anywhere you can imagine A bright new door is waiting for you to open You can go anywhere Anywhere in your dreams

Fievel: I hope I can find A dream that's just mine Someday

Cholena: You might get lost But your heart will show you the right way

Both: And we can go anywhere in our dreams Anywhere we can imagine A bright new door is waiting us to open We can go anywhere Anywhere No matter where We'll get there We can go anywhere in our dreams

Trivia

 * The relationship between Cholena and Fievel is very much similar to the relationship between Pocahontas and John Smith.
 * This is the only well-regarded number in Treasure of Manhattan Island, even if not nominated or won like Somewhere Out There from the original film and Dreams to Dream from the first sequel.
