A Tribute To Don Bluth

[@otdoud]

Don Bluth. One of the best animators/artists ever to enter the film industry. There's a magic to his movies, even some of the not so good ones have it. I don't think anyone will be able to do what he did, the animation is just gorgeous and full of life.

[@paulmay6812]

I agree He needs a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!!

[@nightowl9090]

Agreed

[@hotwax9376]

@otdoud I agree completely. The animation, the music, and the story all come together to make some of the most beautiful works of traditional animation outside of Disney. @Paul May Unfortunately, it probably won't happen anytime soon since Hollywood has done everything it can to bury his name and foist cheap, ugly CG animation on an unsuspecting public. I miss hand-drawn traditional animation so much; the gentle caress of an animator's hand has a warmth and life that a computer screen can never duplicate.

[@adamjohnston7908]

That guy is like a artist,apart from Steven Spielberg and Walt Disney!

[@spooksiewooksie1947]

Welp he’s still at it! Wondering what we’ll see with the new studio he’s launching

[@missheath000]

Ahhhh! I'm in tears! So many memories watching his films as a kid. They were always so meaningful.

[@hotwax9376]

It's such a shame that Don Bluth isn't more widely respected and recognized outside of Gen Yers who are nostalgic for all things late 80s or 90s. His films have a personal quality to them that anyone can identify with; they can make you laugh and cry all in the same movie, and have all the magic and life that traditional animation can have. Unfortunately, most of Hollywood nowadays cares more about making a quick buck then about actually telling a good story, which is why we have hardly heard anything from Don Bluth in the last 20 years. (That and the fact that too many people confuse his movies for Disney films, especially Thumbelina and Anastasia.)

[@brandonreina791]

That's because Disney owns 20th Century Fox and its assets Thumbelina, Anastasia and Titan A.E. (2000) are properties of Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation and/or The Walt Disney Company

[@madeleinemcgregor2855]

Don Bluth is one of my all time favourite animators. Great job on the tribute. 👏

[@davidserna1420]

Don Bluth directed some good movies. i think the best one was The Land Before Time.

[@timberstroke4128]

Good unless you seen the secret of Nihm while the land before time was good Nihm had a stronger character then a bunch of lost kids By lost I also mean whinnying and annoying sometimes. But still good

[@stephenwells6434]

The Land Before Time is his third best, in my opinion. It was a solid film but sometimes the kids could get a little annoying and the narrator intruded on the more emotional moments. I prefer An American Tail and The Secret of NIMH.

[@kieranstark7213]

I think the ones of the 1980s are all the best ones, especially The Secret of NIMH.

[@MrEezuu]

The tears came out. Nostalgic, reminds me of those days. Thank you very much

[@hankvance6809]

don bluth is inspirational, he nearly destroyed Disney after they pissed him off.

[@BeauSkunk]

Great tribute. It's sad that Don Bluth supposedly has a bad rep' among some animation enthusiasts, and in the industry, just 'cause most of his '90s movies weren't as good as his '80s ones... (Which explains why he hasn't been able to do a new movie for 14 years... That, and the shift to CGI/3D nowadays... Hollywood doesn't want to make any 2D movies... Don't know how he feels about doing a 3D/CGI-animated one.) I remember Lauren Faust whom is popular for having worked on "Cats Don't Dance," "Powerpuff Girls," & "MLP:FiM," even took a shot at him before... When talking about working on "Quest For Camalot" a movie she hated doing work for, (due to all the executive-meddling to "Disney-fy" it) she remarked, "If they wanted a cheap Disney rip-off, they should've contacted Don Bluth instead." She also remarked the movie made Don Bluth's "bad '90s movies look good in comparison." While I admit his '80s movies were better, (I still liked "Rock-a-Doodle," and "Anastasia" as a kid, regardless of their flaws) that was rather rude on her part... Ironically, the "Disney-fication" of his movies wasn't entirely his fault either, people like her don't realize. (And he had nothing to do with all the mediocre/terrible "Land Before Time" sequels, and such.) The execs, and such forced him to make his '90s movies more Disney-like. (In fact, Don Bluth HATED how "Pebble and the Penguin" turned out SO much, he had his name removed from the credits.) So it's really ironic for Faust to say that about him, when he was in the same boat as her, and the other people who made "Quest for Camalot." (Which one thing she was right about it, was WORSE then anything he ever made.) "Titan A.E." (Bluth's most recent movie, which is sadly 14 years ago...) is more of an example of how a movie he'd do without all the forced Disney-fication could turn out, and it was very good, (dispite some odd things about it) yet it's sadly quite underrated/overlooked. The animation, and special effects were quite good to.

[@hotwax9376]

What a shame--I always thought Lauren Faust was one of the better animators of our time. But if she stooped so low as to deride Don Bluth in such a scornful manner, then maybe I was mistaken.

[@Vins1n]

@@hotwax9376 there's always a possibility she said that because it s such a common thing to shit on don bluth. if there's something people tend to do its making jokes at the expense of people who have already been made fun of countless times because that means its safe to do so

[@stephenwells6434]

Animation enthusiasts can be divided into three groups: 1) People who think Don Bluth is a great animator who fell on hard times. 2) People who think Bluth is an amateur who lucked into success in the 80s. 3) People who've never heard of Don Bluth.

[@emcvideoproductions500]

Dude, thanks for making a tribute to the guy who directed The Secret of Nimh and The Land Before Time, you are a true Bluth fan.

[@davidserna1420]

call me an old-timer but i have All Dogs go to Heaven on VHS

[@emcvideoproductions500]

David Serna Ok, good for you.

[@norakbubbles]

I seriously love Don Bluth movies so much. His films are so underrated and so well made. Yes they all have their flaws, but every movie made has flaws. His animation is so unique and so amazing and I love how he made these films with just the right amount of family friendly mixed with scary af. The Secret Of Nimh was definitely his best film and I really hope he continues to get the recognition he deserves from his fans ❤️

[@ebztofied]

Soooo much more talent than Disney.

[@CinemaGatesPictures]

@TheLuigifan8881 My studio bring back 2d animation.

[@chepepuy]

Pretty well done. I love Don Bluth's animation and this video clearly reflects the greatness of his works. But just one little thing: you should not have included "The Pebble and the Penguin", because it was disowned by the man himself, as the constant executive meddling on the production got him very upset, so he denied director's credit for it.

[@annafowdy]

Poor Don can't catch a break.

[@ThomasMurphyCosplay]

I remember my Grandparents having a collection of Don Bluth's Cartoons on VHS which is what would watch when I would visit their place

[@Minx-4321]

Whaaaaattt omg he made like all my childhood movies, I didnt know he made Anastasia, all dogs go to heaven, thumblina, AND the land before time! And a few others I forgot the name too 😢

[@ChibiProwl]

Thumbelina land before time all dogs go to heaven Anastasia secret of nimh are the best ones

[@rjmckenzie4706]

[@amandaforrest7697]

A fantastic animator and the creator of two of my most favorite movies ever!!

[@amandaforrest7697]

Also, the great music from his movies captured my heart big time as much as the awesome animation, as well!! Fantastic!!!!

[@christianthelaidbackcampfan]

Nice! Very nice yet touching when Once upon a december and If we hold on together was heard

[@tytoguardian]

Hate to break it to you guys but Don Bluth is not dead.

[@BrendanJSmith]

Great video, but it really should have ended with “If We Hold On Together”.

[@maniacaldude]

Hey, is anyone aware that Don Bluth has started a Kickstarter to fund a movie adaptation of the arcade game Dragon's Lair? You can check it out here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/donbluth/dragons-lair-the-movie?ref=discovery

[@chrismaccool9097]

All of Don Bluth movies have inspired me to write my own Titanic Story about these two ten year old cousins who sailed on Titanic And Servived the nightmare of the shipwreck with their courage and witts and their friendship but with great cost obviously. 😢

[@benjaminkitchen6257]

[@prayerblack]

How Is His Animation This Good?? Compared To The Best Anime Of Japan This Is Still Supreme..The Only Thing It's Missing Is Shade And Light Textures In The Moving Animations, But My Goodness..Definitely 3rd Eye Active, Delivering Heavenly Proportions Of Consistency And Color

[@crystalchampion9617]

Why are most of the kids in Don bluth movies orphans

[@crystalchampion9617]

@TheLuigifan8881 oh I get it now

[@Alex-ft1df]

Maybe cause the creator of these movies was an orphan, and he just wants to show all of us just what orphans see through their eyes and how that they became orphans in the first place.

[@Alex-ft1df]

Not everyone has parents you know.

[@Alex-ft1df]

As sad as that truth is, I do hope that those out there who are orphans find loving kind parents and a family that will love and dote on them and take good great care of them.

[@chrismaccool9097]

If Don Bluth was still making these movies what would they look like now? And why did he stop anyway?

[@CinemaGatesPictures]

My studio make Traditional Animation.

[@whitesoxfl1331]
