'''Don Bluth''' (1937-) is a former Disney animator to whom many a 1980s (and to a lesser extent 1990s) child owes much of their childhood.

You can read his full biography (up to the early '90s) [http://www.cataroo.com/DBconts.html here]. Reviews of his movies in chronological order can be read [http://babbletrish.blogspot.com/2010/09/don-bluth-month-full-index-of-reviews.html here.]

 

* ''[[The Rescuers (Disney film)|The Rescuers]]: '' His first animation directing credit for Disney.

* ''[[Pete's Dragon]]'': Lead animator on Elliot. This is said to be the movie that made him disillusioned with Disney and he quit soon after.

 

Currently Bluth has taken to teaching animation. His website can be seen [http://www.donbluthanimation.com/index.php here], which includes tutorials and a forum in which you ''might'' even be able to talk to the man himself.

* [[All Animation Is Disney]]: The most prominent victim of this trope. He started with Disney before going independent, so it's only natural. And of course, it didn't help that he attempted a Disney-esque flavor with later films such as ''[[Thumbelina]]'' and ''[[Anastasia (Animation)|Anastasia]]''. But his films became Disney clones because that's what studio heads wanted. That happens when you aren't in creative control of your own movies, unfortunately.
