Don Bluth practically saved high quality animation during a time when it was in trouble of being a relic of the past. His mission was to bring back that old traditional style of cartoons as well as show that animation could be treated as a respected art form rather than just a business. He was a wake up call for animators everywhere and I commend him for his services.

"If you don't show the darkness, you don't appreciate the light. If it weren’t for December, no one would appreciate May. It’s just important that you see both sides of that." -Don Bluth

Don Bluth, wherever you are, love your amazing movies!

The world will never see one like Don Bluth again. He's one of a kind.

there are two types of animation I like: Don Bluth movies and japanese anime. I just want to say thank you for making a video tribute to one of my favorite animators. p.s. Rest in Peace Judith Barsi.

Studio Ghibli, Don Bluth, and Walt Disney...once the former two pass...the world will have lost the greatest most imaginative artists in modern history.

One of my very favorite filmmakers, right up there with Disney and Spielberg!! An American Tail is definitely my biggest fave, with several others close behind!! Thank you Don for saving my teens and twenties!

Oh my gosh...I haven't heard somewhere out there for at least 10 years and all of the words came back to me as it was playing. Gosh i cannot describe that feeling of nostalgia when everything was happier

You did well showing both romantic and dark side of Don Bluth's movies.

Don Bluth is still one of the great animators ever Even if his track record is spotty he has told many amazing stories Most of these movies I grew up with and still hold a special place in my heart I hope he makes another one soon before he passes

I so missed Don Bluth’s animated films. Can’t believe I haven’t seen other new films of his for the pass few years. Though he could’ve continue making more of them by continue finishing with the drafts of the old films such as Beauty and the Beast, East of the Sun and West of the Moon, Rapunzel and other incomplete films.

Nice tribute video for Don Bluth.

Don Bluth was truly a great 2D animator, not just for his movies, but also for his shorts, arcade games, and the app I wish I got a chance of playing "Tapper: World Tour". I wish and hope we see at least one more movie made by him before he passes. Even if it would be a short movie.

Don Bluth film productions (1982-2000).

Don Bluth is an amazing artist, and each one of his films, even the not so good ones, are a masterpiece.

Great video. My favorite movie of all time is An American Tail.

Don Bluth was OBSESSED with light and shadows and my goodness how beautiful it is...

Love these old animations. Lovely tribute to Mr. Don Bluth.

I'm sure The Disney Company hated Don Bluth because he was their competitor.

The only other big name in hand-drawn animation apart from Disney whose films really WERE like dreams come true in my childhood!

Faboolis... I have a story to share. My grandpa just passed away, and for nostalgic reasons I decided to watch "The Land Before Time" which reminds me of him because it was a movie I watched when he was still going strong. He taught me musical knowledge, and he had that inventive spirit that mr. Bluth also possesses. I stumbled upon your mesmerising video this evening, and I have been crying for an hour. Is it okay if I upload the first 2 minutes and 20 seconds for my channel so I can share it with people I know? It would make my year.

I love it

I’m crying. Thank you for this 💕💫💕

Lovely.

I didn't plan on crying but I'll go with it.

4:46 God, the nostalgia hit me like a hurricane. I can't remember the last time I heard that song

Lovely video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The Story Of Bambi

Est.September 13,1979

I love the secret of nimh

The best don bluth movie is the land before time

The Animals of Farthing wood:The Trur Story

I would have liked to see Bluth do an animated version of Roald Dahl's 'The Witches.' Dahl's dark humor could have fit pretty nicely with the dark fairy-tale style of Bluth's early work. And the hero-turned-mouse with a heart of a lion in his mouse body feels like a very Bluth-type of hero. Can you picture the Grand High Witch's unmasking, the mouse transformation and the search through her hotel room as imagined by Bluth?

my favorites are the secret of nimh, an american tail, all dogs go to heaven, rock-a-doodle, thumbelina and anastasia

Don Bluth is one of my all time favourite animators and because of him and his amazing works he is deeply inspiring to become an animator one day

Just like a Disney dinosaurs 2000 6:20

I know I'm in the minority here but I absoluletly love All Dogs Go to Heaven. It was my favourite movie when I was a kid and it's still one of my favourites ever. Whenever I watch it again, I'm always impressed of the sheer quality of the story, characters, music and animation.

I have to admit Don Bluth has been a bit of a mixed bag in my eyes. But my two favorites of his movies are THumbelina and Pebble and the Penguin. I'm 30 now and i have not seen any of his past work in such a long time perhaps since high school.

i heard the amazing news that hand drawn 2d animation is returning for more movies and even series! i bet Don would return to the studio and fulfill his career again or at least be a mentor/teacher at the studio for the new generation, and at this point i think xerographing (aka Recycled Animation) might just become a tradition don't think he'll return to disney? i'm okay with that opinion

Can you do other animator auteurs like Ralph Bakshi and Tomm Moore?

You Forgot We're Back A Dinosaur's Story

Dang! That was a beautiful tribute It was powerful and beautiful. 🥲

But Mrs brisby wasn’t my first favorite fictional mouse character Jerry the mouse was my first favorite mouse character

Why hasn't don bluth done a martial arts movie?
