Line 40:
He is rumored to have a film tentatively planned (between 2010 to 2015) that will be an adaptation of the ''[[Dragon's Lair]]'' video games produced by Bluth in 1983, though sadly this is stuck in [[Development Hell]]. It's extremely sad to think that the reason he can't get it off the ground is because Hollywood doesn't see a traditional hand-drawn animated film as marketable.
Currently Bluth has taken to teaching animation. His website can be seen [

* [[Start My Own]]: Bluth's animation studios after he left Disney but before he joined Fox Animation.
* [[What Could Have Been]]:
** In the late Eighties, Bluth was working on a project which, from [https://web.archive.org/web/20111117085306/http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/Tannhaeuser/DonBluth-BeautyandtheBeast.jpg surviving] [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/Tannhaeuser/DonBluth-BeautyandtheBeast02.jpg stills]{{Dead link}}, would have been heavily influenced by Jean Cocteau's 1946 ''[[Beauty and the Beast (1946 film)|La belle et la bête]]''—an [[Animated Adaptation]] of ''[[Beauty and The Beast]]''. When he learned that the [[Beauty and the Beast|Disney version]] was already being produced, he abandoned the project, wishing to avoid [[Dueling Movies]].<ref>Depends on how one defines "heavily influenced" the very few story and character tidbits Bluth revealed about this treatment included a clairvoyant dog, a bird detective, an escape-artist lizard, the "King of the Bats", the "wee beasties", and "Queen Livia, herself"...most elements seem to have been of his own invention.</ref>
** When 20th Century Fox hired Don Bluth to direct an animated movie for them, they gave him a choice between an [[Animated Adaptation]] of ''[[My Fair Lady]]'', or Marcelle Maurette's ''Anastasia''. Bluth picked the latter.
** After the success of ''[[The Secret of NIMH]]'', Bluth's second film was originally supposed to have been an adaptation of the fairy tale "[[East of the Sun and West of the Moon]]", but it never came to fruition because financial resources were drawn back. After teaming up with [[Steven Spielberg]], Bluth's second film instead turned out to be ''[[An American Tail]]''.
