Discuss the man here. Tell us how much you like him, or how much you hate him. Share your opinion on how his movies (most of them anyway) are made of WIN, or how his work should go straight to FAILbox.

As for me… the man is pure WIN, simply for making The Secret of N.I.M.H., All Dogs Go To Heaven, and directing Titan A.E.

oh snap

Anastasia. I don't care if it butchered Russian history, I want the fucking opera dress.

^I am from Ru$$ia (originally)

Even at the end of the credits it says that the story is PURE FICTION, and that "even though historical figures star in this masterpiece, they were TOTALLY different IRL".

As for butchered history… I don't care.

The man is like an animation god to me. He's contributed in the production of some of the best movies I've ever watched in my childhood namely:

- All Dogs Go to Heaven
- An American Tail
- The Fox and the Hound
- The Land Before Time
- The Rescuers
- Robin Hood
- The Secret of NIMH

Don Bluth, may you have a very special awesome birthday.

^ also started a Bluth birthday on /co/

Must be seen to be believed

It's weird. I look up to him because I want to go into animation. A month ago, I learned I lived right down the road from where he grew up.
The whole woodpile cat cartoon was based off of his life on the farm!
rock-a-doodle was based off that farm!
all this time I had no clue.
oh well.
To think some one from such a podunk place could do something great.

He keeps popping up this week. strange…

Of course we all know he's done a lot of great things, but we also have to account him for his few failures, such as A Troll in Central Park and The Pebble and the Penguin. And of course he gave us the real origin of this:

@karnella

Maybe its a sign to give up, before you become the next Disney!

@Adam

He didn't write the stories to those HORRIBLE films. And, like Ralph Bakshi with Cool World, he was bound by a contract to direct anyway. He had no choice. He DID have his Crowning Moment of Awesome though, when he stepped out of the directing chair of Pebble & The Penguin, even asking to remove his name from the credits. That… I can respect.

And his final directing work… was one of my personal favorites. He even found time to work on the script a bit (refining the characters, according to an IGN interview)

BTW, since I have this thread here, why not post something REALLY rare, for special occasion?

You can also thank me 4 uploading that one, and finding it in the 1st place.

I love him eternally for making robin hood

@yobread

Are you nuts? He didn't make it!

…goshdard no-good rednecks…

Hey wasn't All Dogs Go To Heaven great? Here's a cool fact about it, courtesy of Man With Good Taste!
"The girl who played Anne Marie from All Dogs Go To Heaven was killed, along with her mother by her mad father, before the movie was finished. Don Bluth even stopped working on the film for one day, not talking to anyone on that day."

@ManWithGoodTaste

Your a man with good taste.

Like, DUH!~!
