    Non-Bluth: Charlotte's Web

    “Some Pig,” amiright?! Some…year, actually. Oh my god, it’s already been a whole year since our last upload!!! Don’t worry, Dax has a very good reason as to why. He……just didn’t get around to editing it until now. Oh wow, that’s actually a very unsatisfying reason. In any event, we have a “Terrific” Non-Bluth episode for you on the world’s most “Radiant” pig, Wilbur! (as well as every other pig we can think of) Join us and returning guest Andrew Roebuck as we talk on the nature of death and how one little spider helped some of our younger selves understand its complicated, but simple place in our lives. So please ready yourselves, “Humble” listeners, for an extremely on-brand, two and a half hours long discussion on everyone’s favorite vegan inspiring childhood classic, Charlotte’s Web!

    Episode 16: Journey Back to Oz

    We’ve lost our minds. Where? Somewhere over the rainbow, I think. We were gone for months, but never mind that, it’s us again on this April Foolsy day to bring you an episode that no one asked for, but everyone will enjoy (hopefully anyway)! Today, we’re joined by fellow friend and cat-enthusiast, Andrew Roebuck, to talk about an obscure Filmation animated feature film sequel to The Wizard of Oz starring Liza Minnelli as Dorothy. Why? Because Don Bluth was, in fact, a layout artist on this movie back in 1972. Yup, that’s it! That’s all the justification we need to make an entire Oz-themed episode for our unsuspecting listeners. So grab your favorite Cairn Terrier, click your heels together, and watch out for that Tornado, because we’re all on a wonderfully unexpected “Journey Back to Oz!” Links: Watch Journey Back to Oz on YouTube: https://bit.ly/2QYWs5p Check out Andrew’s podcast, Milkshakes and Mimosas! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/milkshakes-and-mimosas/id1457861122 Listen to the Milkshakes and Mimosas episode we guested on about Don Bluth’s Filmation Years. https://apple.co/3mbhmcY We’re not about to put a link to every Oz-related production we mention, but here’s a fun list for you to Google in your spare time: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L.

    Non-Bluth: Nelvana Animation Discussion

    Happy Life Day, Everyone! And what better way to celebrate Life Day than with a new Non-Bluth episode talking about Nelvana, the studio responsible for underground Sci-Fi animation such as A Cosmic Christmas, Romie-0 and Julie-8, Rock & Rule, Intergalactic Thanksgiving, Star Wars: Droids, Star Wars: Ewoks, and yes, even the animated segment from The Star Wars Holiday Special. Joining us is special guest Avery, who, having a unique history with the studio, kindly shares his experiences of visiting Nelvana in its earlier days. We also talk at length about the various shows that Avery and ourselves grew up with from this extremely unique Canadian production house that rarely gets the recognition it deserves in the history of animation.

    Non-Bluth: The Swan Princess

    This is our idea of fun, talking about The Swan Princess. Sara has never seen it before, Dax has. Worlds collide, people are swans, and frogs are voiced by John Cleese. This is a magical tale about royalty and upper class living/lifestyles, but what do you expect from a movie directed by a man named "Richard Rich"? This Non-Bluth entry also has some interesting connections with a few Don Bluth films that we discuss a plenty. So does it hold up? Or does it fall from the sky like a wounded swan? Join us for the sweetest animated story of an arranged marriage ever told. We give it eight swans out of ten (probably).

  5. Bluth Pod Update (Plus a Completely Unrelated Discussion About Animal Crossing)

    Bluth Pod Update (Plus a Completely Unrelated Discussion About Animal Crossing)

    We might as well change the name of our podcast to The Blath, the Whole Blath, and Nothing But the Blath...ers, because this episode is probably 90% about Animal Crossing (which is in no way related to Don Bluth). Sure, we intended for it to be an update on our lives and what's in store for the podcast, but it turns out our podcast updates are short and we have no lives outside of Tom Nook's happy version of capitalism. And you probably don't either, if you've been social distancing properly. But we hope this episode satisfies your need (was there any?) for our witty banter, or at least our familiar meandering tangents, and yes we do actually bring up animation of sorts! Do we lose our minds a little bit? Who can say, because who among us has any mind left these days? Links: There is no movie to watch this time. Ummmm... play Animal Crossing, I guess? https://bit.ly/39fXNtm Follow Dax https://www.instagram.com/daxschaffer https://twitter.com/DaxSchaffer Follow Sara https://www.instagram.com/saraiyer https://twitter.com/saraanjuliiyer Follow the Podcast on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nothingbutthebluth Like the Podcast on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheBluthTheWholeBluthAndNothingButTheBluth Check out Dax’s other pod, Cineppraisal @Cineppraisal on FB/Twitter/IG https://anchor.fm/cineppraisal Music in this episode is (mostly) from Animal Crossing: New Horizons by Nintendo. A small note that this episode was recorded July 3rd, in case some of the timing in our discussion doesn't line up with when we're releasing it over two weeks later! Animal Crossing aside, what's our podcast usually about.....? Oh yeah, Don Bluth! Do you have a Don Bluth related story or thoughts on any of his films that you would like to share with our pod? Just call (323) 380-8103 and leave a message to be included as part of our final episode down the line!

    Episode 15: Bartok the Magnificent

    I tell you what, you'll be glad you joined us on this episode of The Bluth, the Whole Bluth, and Nothing But the Bluth, because we're Bartalkin' Bartok the Magnificent with our good buddy, Chris Bramante! Since this is the only sequel (prequel?) to any of Don Bluth's films that the Don himself directed (and Gary too!), we felt justified in devoting a whole episode to that humorous Hank Azarian bat and his Kelsey Grammerian bear friend. Get ready for singing (maybe), Simpsons/Futurama references (most likely), and some loose Russian history (there's an outside chance). So strap yourself in for an episode that's simply B-A-R-T— OK! (wait....) I mean Magnificent, simply Magnificent! ----- Do you have a Don Bluth related story or thoughts on any of his films that you would like to share with our pod? Just call (323) 380-8103 and leave a message to be included as part of our final episode down the line!

    Episode 14: Anastasia

    On this very special Russian history fueled episode of The Bluth, the Whole Bluth, and Nothing But the Bluth, come with us and our guest, Chris Bramante, on a Journey to the Past! Mostly because we recorded this episode right before quarantine so it feels like a hundred years ago. We had the pleasure of discussing Don Bluth and Gary Goldman's first venture with Fox Animation Studios, Anastasia. Do we talk about how great this movie is? Perhaps. Do we break into song? Possibly. Who can even remember? If you're listening to this In the Dark of the Night, Once Upon a December (seven months after we release it), then flip a light on why don't you? You can Learn to Do It. If we can learn to do it! You can learn to do it too! ----- Also, do you have a Don Bluth related story or thoughts on any of his films that you would like to share with our pod? We’ll be collecting voicemails from listeners and friends for a final episode down the line. Just call (323) 380-8103. Or, if you have some audio recording know-how and want to sound less compressed, feel free to email us a download link for a WAV audio file at TheWholeBluth@gmail.com.
