Don Bluth

Donald Virgil Bluth (born September 13 1937) is a former Disney animator who, along with fellow animators Gary Goldman and John Pomeroy, set out on his own in 1979 to start his own animation studio, Don Bluth Productions. His style is rougher and more lively than that of Disney films, and his films tend to have a mystical element to them.

At Disney in the 1970s, Bluth was an animator on Robin Hood, The Rescuers, and Pete's Dragon. His last involvement with Disney was the 1978 short The Small One; he drew a few scenes for The Fox and the Hound, but left early in production and brought several other Disney animators with him to form a rival studio. This new studio's first production was a short film titled Banjo the Woodpile Cat as a demonstration of its ability, and this led to work on an animated segment of the live-action film Xanadu (1980) and its most noteworthy film, The Secret of NIMH (1982). Many consider this film to be Bluth's masterpiece.
