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.

@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.

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

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.)

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Poor Don can't catch a break.

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 ❤️

Adgth gets the award for saddest ending to any film ever FIGHT ME!

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.

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 😢

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

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

I miss cartoon style like this Hand Drawing Classic they never gonna be The level of cartoonist like this again Again in today world

I wish that the Don Bluth Filmography had Never Ended.

Ahh Don Blurth made the best films. My favorites have always been all dogs go to heaven and American tail. As a kid, the first Don Blurth film I’ve seen was American Tail, it was a good one, my favorite part was when Fivel reunited with his family. Oh and Thumbelina I’ve haven’t seen that since I was a kid also, I liked that she turned into a fairy in the end. For Anastasia, man I haven’t seen it since childhood, and now I have a chance to rewatch it now it’s on Disney plus. My favorite part of all dogs go to heaven was when Charlie gave his life to save the niña Annie Marie, there was good in him, he just needed to be more considerate and make smarter choices. Dom Deluise was a great actor, I know Dom passed on years ago but I’ll never forget him, neither will the other fans. My favorite role of his was Itchy Itchford.

I hope ether me or someone else bring us back our once upon a time

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

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

A legend in animated story telling

Don Bluth is one my all time favourite animators

I love the video its a great tribute but there's one thing missing, bartok the magnificent is not included mor small one.

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

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

Heh! Maybe more than two faves! And more that I still want to see (even now as a kid on the inside)!

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

My favorite Don Bluth movie series are All Dogs Go To Heaven and The Land Before Time.

0:00 The Secret of N.I.M.H. 0:20 The Land Before Time 0:21 An American Tail 0:26 All Dogs Go To Heaven 0:38 Rock-a-Doodle 0:46 A Troll in Central Park 0:49 Anastasia 0:53 The Pebble and the Penguin 1:44 Thumbelina 2:12 Titan A.E. 3:25 Dragon's Lair 4:02 Banjo: The Woodpile Cat

Evolution of don bluth and the land before time 1982 to 2016

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

I like to watch don bluth movies in the 1980 . Germany

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. 😢

The Annie Awards have got to award him with the Windsor McCay award very soon.

My favourite Don Bluth films are The Secret of NIMH, The Land Before Time, An American Tail, All Dogs go to Heaven and Anastasia

Banjo - Very Good Short film ! The Small One - I love Brisby - Very scary, but an exelent movie ! An American Tail - MasterPiece The Land Before Time - Masterpiece All Dogs Go To heaven - Masterpiece Rock o Doodle - I like.... I Like... Thumbelina - A Don Bluth/Disney A Troll In Central Park - Masterpiece Anastasia - A good film but a bad Don Bluth.This movie plagiarizes Disney Titan Ae - Don Bluth ? Uh.... I do not mention any more "The Peeble And The Penguin" because Don Bluth gave up this project...
