    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.

    Don Bluth's Filmation Years on Milkshakes and Mimosas

    We had a blast guesting on the Riverdale podcast Milkshakes and Mimosas with host Andrew Roebuck. We talked all about Don Bluth's time at Filmation working on Archie and His New Pals, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Fantastic Voyage, Will the Real Jerry Lewis Please Sit Down, and of course, the Groovie Goolies! Since we never extensively covered Don's Filmation years on TBTWBANBTB, we're excited for you all to listen. Find Milkshakes and Mimosas in Riverdale and everywhere you get your podcasts! **Edit: There was a snafu previously where the few most recent Milkshakes and Mimosas episodes weren't distributing properly beyond just Anchor and Spotify. The issue is fixed now, so here's the iTunes link for the reupload as well.

    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?

    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?

    Non-Bluth: Balto

    It's another NON-BLUTH, and we're finishing up the Amblimation trilogy by talking all things Balto. Somehow, we also spend a good chunk of time talking about Super Mario Brothers, Harry Potter, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Tarzan, and Cats (2019), but trust us, it all comes back to Balto. From the epic true story it's based on to the voice cast, live-action bookends, and disturbingly hot animals, we discuss this film and all its tangents like you've never heard before.
