When did Don Bleuth become shit?
Why did his career go so bad so fast?
Anastasia and Titan AE are fine.
At one point, you've got it. Then you lose it. Then it's gone forever.

Goes for everyone.

Titan AE is absolutely terrible and I really can't grasp why anybody would hold it up as an example of a good Bluth movie.
Anastasia is fine though, even if the premise is weird if you think about it too hard, but then again, thats all of his movies.

Executive meddling. It began with American Tail, became a healthy influence in Land Before Time, started to become a strain in All Dogs Go to Heaven, and reached its nadir with Troll in Central Park.
>>82020957
Executive meddling for both.

You misspelled his name, you lazy shit.
I personally liked A Troll in Central Park, but then again I was very young when I first saw it and because of my little sister ended up watching it at least half a dozen times.

Titan A.E. isn't terrible, it just doesn't feel totally wrapped up. The designs, characters, story, etc. are all good, but they don't fully connect, leading to a confusing feeling. It'd be really solid as a short T.V. show and allowed to fully explore every theme it played with, but as a single movie I'm left wanting more.
Treasure Planet is much tighter, but then again it's just a new environment for Treasure Island.

Disney Reinessance. Part of Bluth's sucess was the fact that Disney was doing AWFUL in the 80s. But when Who Framed Roger Rabbit and The Little Mermaid came out in theaters, Disney boomed back up, and Bluth just couldn't keep up.

Add in the later SUPER SUCCESS releases of Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and The box office busting animated film Lion King, the rest is history.

I really never liked how human characters look in Bluth films. Something about their facial expressions and movements look too uncanny in comparison to Disney.
He ran out of good ideas but didn't retire, making himself look like a fool.
>>82023959
As I recall, he tended to use rotoscoping for his less cartoony characters. So that probably lends them that uncanny effect you're talking about.

Secret of NIMH, The Land Before Time, An American Tail, and Anastasia are arguably his best works.
Didn't he announce that he was going to make as many as 7 more movies recently?
>>82021006
I disagree, familimlam. Some people "have it" their entire lives.
>>82020957
>Anastasia is fine.
>The bastardization of real events is fine.
No Anon, that is not fine. Even when Disney does it, it's not fine.
>>82029619
>it's not fine
Time to stop watching movies, anon.

You can't tell me what to do!
i think everything he's made is great
even troll in central park, but i watched it a lot with my siblings when i was younger
>>82029619
Wasn't Pocahontas also twisting and bastardizing real events?
>>82030227
Hence I said
>Even when Disney does it, it's not fine.
>>82029619
How many films based on "real events" AREN'T bastardizations of said events?
>>82030624
It's not a very good genre.

The issue isn't that it happens to not be totally accurate to reality. It's that is completely ignores the impetus of everything surrounding the October Revolution entirely and makes the Romanovs victims of Rasputin's evil plot. I don't expect an accurate history lesson down to the last detail, but it feels all too politically convenient to leave out the whole point of, everything, happening really in order to make the thing into a fairytale.
The movie isn't all that bad for what it is, but the distortion is much weirder than usual for these things, and just just feels bizarre to handle the subject like this.
>>82023959
That, and I always hated how his more cartoony character had these big-ass, swolen lower lips.

There's a difference between a story inspired by things that happened and a documentary. Why do autists struggle so much understanding this?
