The Traditional Animation Show - Don Bluth & Gary Goldman 

I got to meet Don Bluth yesterday at the 2024 FanExpo in Philadelphia! I thanked him for the movies. Very down to earth.

Don Bluth has gave me a ton of inspiration for most of my life. I would love to meet him one day C:

I've just started reading his memoir "Sonewhere Out There " and absolutely love it. I highly recommend it. Don is a fantastic storyteller 📚

Great video. These guys revitalized that early Disney magic outside of the studio when Disney had abandoned it. True masters of the craft.

Gary Goldman and Don Bluth are wonderful artists and story tellers. Gary and Don are also very personable and have always been very generous with their time and talents. I hope they both get back into animation.

Mr Bluth's right, there's no readon cgi and traditional animation can't exist side by side. And I think the money issue is a convenient excuse, studio's never wanting to change up formulas e.g. take creative risks. The problem I have with cg animated movies is that the designs look pretty much the same in every film. Same facial expressions, same movements, same color palettes, etc. The early Pixar's and later Dreamworks animations were distinct from each other but even they quickly became cookie-cutter because as Bluth puts it its a money problem on the producer's end not the artist's.

Forever my inspiration for drawing, Don Bluth and Gary Goldman.

Your my childhood hero Don!!! Really enjoyed this interview. Please make more…..

Please make more content. I really LOVE this channel.

This was such a wonderful video loved listening to all of Don Bluth and Gary Goldman's animation stories so inspiring for 2D animation students, and the demo at the end was so cool, really happy I understood alot of what he was explaining gives me so much hope thank you for sharing 💕💜

I have never heard or seen the metronome trick. Fascinating!

Don gluth needs to make a few more animations I want my childhood back.😭

Quite the fascinating interview. I sincerely hope both Don & Gary get back into the business and revive 2D animation. I've seen some of the sketches for the Dragons Lair movie made by Don and they look fantastic.

I hope they are thinking about re-animating the tragically lost scenes from “Land Before Time” and “All Dogs Go To Heaven”. 🙏🏻

I gotta say that the secret of nimh is the greatest cutest movie ever made by don bluth and Gary Goldman ever worked on and best of all it's don bluths masterpiece.

Great interview. Really interesting. Good to see Don and Gary again.

Don seems such a lovely guy to spend time with and regail you with his colourful stories.

I have a LOT to criticize about Don Bluth's movies, but if I had to pick an animator to sit down, have lunch and talk cartoons with, it would probably be him. Someone like Hayao Miyazaki I would probably rather recognize from a distance.

Don are amazing.

I will respect CGI for what it is and admit it is pretty cool but I will always prefer traditional over that just because the movement and the feel of the story fits better in that way in my opinion

Great interview! Interesting questions while letting Don and Gary speak.

One of my favorite animating artists, I love the character designs they make

Don is still sharp as a tack after all these years. What a legend.

A question that I don't think ever gets asked of Don or Gary, is "what informed your style of animation performance?" Because compared to any other animation style or studio at their peak, between the 80s and early 90s, their work was highly expressive, broadly gestural; characters are often leaning in hard either into the camera or into other characters when they deliver the "O" or "U" sounds. When characters are flustered or flabbergasted, they'll rapidly wave their hands about. It's highly theatrical and operatic, like they're trying to play to a distant audience. And all of their motion arcs are bold and broad as well. Much bigger than is typical of Disney Renaissance work, and much more fluid than that of Tokyo Movie Shinsha, who around that same time were handling the animation on the first few seasons of the Disney Afternoon's initial line-up. By contract, Tokyo Movie Shinsha has very springy movement. Gesticulation tended to nod and bounce for emphasis in small curves. Even mouth shapes eased in and out in almost a type-writer fashion. This is especially evident in their film "Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland." So I've always been fascinated to ask if Don and Gary are not only aware of their unique approach to animation acting and motion arcs, but if they are, what in their early careers at Disney informed that unique approach, which then (of course) carried over into the way they taught their junior staff members.

Please keep up the great work this is great content

Don Bluth's great-grandfather was Helaman Pratt, an early leader in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and one of the founders of Prattville, Utah. One-time Republican presidential candidate and current junior senator of Utah Mitt Romney is also Pratt's great-grandson, making Romney and Bluth second cousins.

What a legend! So glad you guys were able to get him

Well at least we got 2D & 3D combined in the animation which is Mutant Mayhem

Love his art work!!!!!

A plus vid, glad I discovered this

Now that I've had it explained to me...I GET IT! 🙂🙂🙂

pretty amazing video!

Legend!!

Wonderful video! 👍

Dragon Slayer movie will be a good one to watch

I couldn’t tell if the interviewer was nervous, bad, or both 😆

I'm really confused. I thought the Dragon's Lair movie was going to be live action on Netflix? Does that mean the 2D animated version of the movie is not canceled or was that a false rumor?

Is dragons lair coming to cable television?

the interviewer is so awkward
