I don't know. Something like that would have been more desired to some scary reality based things some of us went through. I think fantastical things would be easier for kids. It's an adventure..versus the realities some of us have to deal with day in and out for years. Villains are easier to deal with than evil and bad flawed people we know in real life. You can destroy a villain, not so much an abuser. That's part of why fantasy films are therapeutic.

"you have to find the tooth!" "where is the tooth?" "I have it!" "I found the tooth!" well, that was . . . surprisingly easy.

Feels more like a Dragon's Lair or Space Ace style game than a movie.

1:06 Wow, that kid learns fast, lol. "JAW BREAKER! SEE IT!" Amazing, advertisers spend months coming up with movie taglines and here you are flat-out saying "see it." Give 'em a point for honesty. Great animation! I can really feel the force and energy of the characters.

"what the heck is that?" my words

This clip totally satisfied my craving for Don Bluth animation. It's Awesome!!! I've watched every piece of Don Bluth animation a bazillion times so it's great to see something I have never seen before! Nobody uses the principals of animation like Don. There so much appeal in the movement and the design!

Now I'm obsessed with this movie, it would be great if Don Bluth told us what the plot would have been, the personality of the characters and their names, especially the villains. What were they looking to obtain with the tooth? I have a feeling this movie was completed but never released for some reason. It would be great to see it complete.

That's the most AWESOME Go-Out-And Buy-A-Jawbreaker candy commercial that I've ever Seen!

0:18 Bro, Don went ALL OUT with just this single character and his body animation. I have no idea who he is, what he is but I DO know he's one evil sunnva gun with his demands!

This is freaking awesome, reminds me of the Dragon's Lair and Space Ace games...Don, you are the best!

Always good to see more of your work exposed to the public. You are a great cartoonist and I feel that the odds of finding another like yourself would probably be a long time.

0:17 Mad King: I DON'T CARE HAVE TO DESTROY THE WHOLE TOWN!!!! find that tooth these's a commands of jawbreakers himself.

Ed: Can I have another jawbreaker?😋😋😋

I would absolutely love to have seen this. Looks like incredibly imaginative stuff.

I wish this was a full movie

The King character was hilarious!

i love the way Don Bluth made his characters have their mouths move and their body so very differently.

It's really cool how Jawbreaker is a little bit of all of Don Bluth's work in one, I recognize animation from All Dogs Go To Heaven, Secret of Nimh, Rock a doodle, An American Tail, which were probably taken from this piece.

This is a really weird candy commercial.

How do you know it's a Don Bluth film? If people die in the first 10 seconds.

I would have watched the shit out of this if it became a movie.

I'd love to see this in higher resolution scanned from original 35mm material. Hope you guys held onto the negative.

I can definitely see the inspiration from Dragon''s Lair here, and imagine the dragon's and monsters along with the lava would fit really well in the future Dragon's Lair movie.

Amazing animation, really good movement really polished.

Compared to the CGI cartoons that come out nowadays-well, there is no comparison. 2D hand drawn animation is forever the best

The little purple characters remind me of Figment from Epcot's Imagination with Figment. I really wish I could see more of this though even if it was made into a webseries or Netflix one. Though Bluth probably has no interest to do that with it, which is okay too.

Every time when I trying draw comic books or something else but I don't have motivation, energy or "spark" to do it, I always try look some old cartoons and anime which have been inspired me. And yes, Don Bluth is also one of my biggest inspirations too. The Secret Of NIMH, Land Before Time, An American Tail, I use to watch those movies when I was a kid in the 90's. And those movies kind a give me that influence that I wanted draw something intense, mature, emotional, or adventures. I have been draw comic books since 2012, and I still draw my series, and I have found fanbase that love my characters, and I have found friends who supported me. I even offer my comic book to the official publisher but they didn't take it because some program problems, but publisher still likes my style, and hope I could offer my works another time. So I am very thankful to Don Bluth and his team about that I have a chance to grew up with some great works of animations which gave me a spark to do my own comic books. Thanks Mr. Bluth! And good luck.✌✏

0:16 i love that bit, the way he moves, the way he talks, the voice actor is great, it's just epic.

Ah, The good old magical kidnapping by chance to other dimesion :) I really do love these kind of plot, It remindimg me back when I was a kid and having a certain feeling on this kind of thing. Its good, Really.

i read on his forums once that he would love to remake it, since he never got to do his own version. damn studios, rewriting screenplays without the concern of the director should be prohibited.

Animation is top notch as always. Story... needs work. I should probably say that this looks like a young animator's proposal for what could make an awesome family film, but it just never got made. When did you make this one? The quality looks great.

it was like an incohenrent explosion of Don Bluthness

With animation like this, it makes you wonder why they never released it. It might've made a good arcade game like Dragon's Lair, and Space Ace.

I love Don Bluth animation.

Don Bluth was behind the original Dragons Lair in the 80s. He's an animator and director. So it would be very impressive for him to have ripped himself off (Dragons Lair 3D was also made by Don Bluth (and yes it is rather ill advised))

Everything happens so fast^^ I would have loved to see this released

Now I want him to actually release this film. This looks AWESOME!

Outstanding, It is simply amazing. "JawBreaker" a story of a boy that seeks to find a magical tooth, that belonged to a power dragon named JawBreaker, those who held the tooth, will command JawBreaker to do what he or she commands him to do. Now that is more original. I wish it was realsed on DVD in the 21st Century.

don bluth you are a talented animator

Amazing.

Don Bluth is crowdfunding a Dragons Lair movie check it out: www.kickstarter.com/projects/donbluth/dragons-lair-the-movie

CLASSIC! You can see Bluth in every bit of animation here; especially Jaw Breaker kind of reminds me of Nicodemus (but a lot more hammy, of course) and the kid could be a humanized blond Fievel. Wish I knew what happened in the end... Also; Random Merlin Mouse: "Find the tooth and you will find Jaw Breakerrr." Kid: "Who has his magical tooth?" Random Pig Head: "Haha, I do! HAHA!" Kid: "We have the tooth!" Gosh, I love the randomness and the exaggeration.

Why is the world so cruel to Don Bluth's creation? I mean, sure, his films can be dark, but I want him to successfully achieve so many awards and make more animated films!

My mind has been blown away....

OMG, Mr. Bluth. I just noticed you from people who played Dragons Lair and Space Ace. To be honest, I wished traditional animation never dies. I currently use Photoshop for animating, without after Effects. And I'm curious to learn of how to put it to look like they're from the 1980s and 1990s traditional cartoons. Hopefully the Dragon's Lair film comes up, and Space Ace.

Sir, I didn't realize you had a KZread Channel. But to see this here, all I can say is, "Wow". Darn, I miss the 80's...

There's so much going on, so alive. :) Probably got addicted to this as a kid when I was watching Secret of Nimh.

i would love to see this film in theaters!! Don Bluth should go back and animate at least one more film for his devoted fans!! :3

0:39 This shot looks like it was recycled. I’ve seen this in An American Tail (where Fievel is being chased by Warren T. “Rat’s” cats), The Land Before Time (where Ducky, Petrie, and Spike are sliding down a hill while Littlefoot and Cera are fighting), and All Dogs Go To Heaven (where he comes back to life and has the dream when he’s in hell).
