A collection of quotes by Don Bluth.

Don Bluth is an American animator, film director, and producer. He was born on September 13, 1937, in El Paso, Texas. Bluth began his career at the Walt Disney Studios in the 1950s, working as an assistant animator on films such as Sleeping Beauty (1959) and The Sword in the Stone (1963). However, he became disenchanted with the direction Disney was taking and left the studio in the late 1970s.

In 1979, Bluth co-founded the animation studio Don Bluth Productions, later renamed Sullivan Bluth Studios, in Dublin, Ireland. He gained recognition for his independent animated films, such as The Secret of NIMH (1982), An American Tail (1986), The Land Before Time (1988), and All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989). Bluth's films often had a darker, more mature tone compared to the traditional Disney fare, and he was lauded for his commitment to storytelling and hand-drawn animation.

Although his studio faced financial difficulties and several of his later films received mixed reviews, Bluth continued to contribute to the animation industry, working on projects like the video game Dragon's Lair and the animated film Titan A.E. (2000). His impact as a filmmaker and animator is significant, as he left a lasting legacy of memorable characters and beautifully crafted animation. Today, Don Bluth is considered one of the prominent figures in the animation industry, known for his dedication to the art form and his influence on subsequent generations of animators.
