Great article! It's fascinating hearing about the conflicts behind the scenes of the Mouse. Wild to me that they were so disinterested in training up the next generation of animators. This fills in a big piece of the puzzle of how Don Bluth's films came to be and what his conflict with Disney was about.
It's honestly somewhat reassuring in a way that it took four years for Bluth and co to put together the skills to make a film, even on a solid background of drawing and animation knowledge. Makes me feel better about how long it's taking me ^^'
This is a fascinating newsletter! I had no idea Don Bluth's animation career started in his garage. It's inspiring to hear about his dedication and the camaraderie that formed in that space. Thanks for sharing the newsbits too, especially about the unionization efforts and the rescued Soviet cartoons. Looking forward to the next edition!
o. m. g. EVERYTHING about this had me on the edge of my seat. Can we get a prestige drama series about bluth and disney? I would watch that!!! This was an absolutely amazing article and I will be reading it again and again! Thank you!
The Secret of NIMH is a classic. One of my favorite movies. A brilliant piece of work.
