Don Bluth is an acclaimed American animator, director, and producer. Born in 1937, he began his career at Disney, contributing to classics like "The Rescuers" and "Robin Hood". Disenchanted with the direction Disney was taking, Bluth left in 1979 to start his own studio. He produced memorable animated features such as "The Secret of NIMH", "An American Tail", and "The Land Before Time". His films often contained darker, more mature themes, setting them apart from typical children's animations of the era. Despite facing challenges in the evolving animation industry, Bluth's distinctive style and commitment to traditional animation techniques have left a lasting legacy in the world of cinema.
