Hello there i'm don bluth, please say nice things about my work

Good moments ≠≠≠ good. Even Don himself considers it not good, since he ended up writing the final draft (which was a complete rewrite) all by himself in about 2 weeks.

no it wasn't and proves point more
Don was forced out of his element by studio meddling and didn't have the same resources he was given for anistasia, thus it all went to shit and it wasn't even his fault because again a film's success has much more to do with a director and producer than just an animation artist

Source: your ass. He never tried to be an "auteur", except maybe with NIMH. He very much enjoyed finding the right writers for his projects, and prefers not to write himself (aside from adding small changes).

You must have miss understood me, I said he wasn't a producer and didn't know how to find the right people like Disney could, and thus why the constant comparisons are stupid between the two.

>He very much enjoyed finding the right writers for his projects, and prefers not to write himself (aside from adding small changes).
Which is exactly where he failed and Disney succeeded and exactly what I said.

>He never tried to be an "auteur", except maybe with NIMH
Didn't know that part but if that's so he actually did succeed pulling a vision together on his own, and probably should have stuck to that. Albeit nimh was a _financial_ flop (I liked the animation a lot)

What Bluth never had was real power. He was not the Gig Guy who could just veto anything, and make all the decisions. Walt made his movies inside his company which he owned, so he could keep all the profits. Don always worked for/with other companies who provided the funds, so he could not put his foot down, and had to go with what was being requested. The only time Don had any real argument was during the production of Pebble and the Penguin, where he refused to finish the movie and walked out. There is this persistent meme going around, and people keep falling for it, that Don is this crazy senile guy who lost his mind somewhere around the late 80s, and was too mentally unstable to direct or write. In truth, had he been given more power and freedom, he would not have directed the 90s movies and made something else instead, or hired better writers and produce 4 quality pictures instead. Hell, Anastasia was more serious and "objectively" more quality than the finished product we ended up having, which was due to heavy compromise.

Can you shed more light on Don's irish animation studios? What kept him from having full power than?

Simple. Without Steven's backing he did not have the protection from the censors and investors' pressure. Another thing is Rockadoodle being objectively a mess of a film, and it does not matter who was at fault. After the financial failure of Rockadoodle, Don could not throw weight around, since he had no weight left. He had to do what the investors told him to. If you put your own money into a movie, and it makes a big profit (like George Lucas and his Star Wars 2: Now With Yoda), you will have the power to do whatever you want with your next movie. Don did not make a successful movie since Land Before TIme (All Dogs only really made big money on VHS). So, when it's not your own money that's going into your next picture, someone other than you decides on the tone and the story elements. To add insult to injury, Don was now responsible for the hundreds of artists of his newly found studio in Ireland (what you were asking in the first place), all of those people had to feed their families. In such a situation, turning down a movie proposal means no money for your studio this year, so nobody gets paid. Unlike Ralph Bakshi, Don constantly made the choise to produce lesser movies but have his team paid each year. He felt responsible for all of them.

How old is he btw?

81

Who looksbetter today: Don Bluth or Mark Miller?

I liked your appearances on Nostalgia Critic.

I have a lot of respect for that. He wanted to feed his people. They looked to him for work and to keep working.

Don looks like the boomer wojak. That said, I can't really hate him, Powerhouse and him gives me hope that Texas can have an animation industry.

Titan AE must be the most 2000'ish cartoon ever. You could almost improve the experience by watching it on a computer with Windows ME installed and in a DivX format.
