Things about Don Bluth's animation that never stop annoying me:
Mica
1: Bird Teeth
Mica
2: Somehow, you know how bat wings work, but bird wings are just sacks of play-dough?????
Mica
3: unnecessary musical numbers
Mica
There are maybe three necessary musical numbers in the entirety of Don Bluth's work, and I think two of them are in Anastasia.
Mica
And I'm seriously on the fence about that one in An American Tail.
Mica
Like, I love Don Bluth's weird sort-of jam, but oh my goodness what
Mica
What is wrong with his birds?
Mica
Did they just not have birds, back then?
Mica
There's an entire movie where almost all the characters are birds and
Mica
like

.................i was made to rewatch pebble and the penguin lately can't you tell
Mica
Mica
Mica
No, montages don't count
Mica
Characters have to sing for it to be a musical number
Mica
Ask yourself: "Could this be scaled back and included in a stage musical"

I can only assume the teeth logic is 'but how would anyone know this is a villainous grin otherwise?'
queen carol
you will pry my love for "somewhere out there" from my cold dead hands
Mica
Even the good guy birds have teeth
Mica
this image of penguins is just a villainous example

I was confused about the lumpy wings thing because I immediately thought of Jeremy

I flinched at seeing Jacquimo

Get on the goddamn bird Thumbelina. Shut his toothed beak up and wait for Cornelius at home.

Polevaults back to work hell but when Don Bluth goes for Disneyesque stories, it gets weird. And Rock-a-Doodle happened

Rock-a-Doodle baffles me to this day because it exists, was made, and actually did fairly well at the time, considering it's nightmare fuel wrapped in some weird subtext
Thicken Nugget
I loved it as a kid
Thicken Nugget
And I tried to rewatch it in the last few years and was just like
Thicken Nugget
The fuck??????¿ ¿¿
Mica
For years, I thought I'd hallucinated rockadoodle
TurkeyPhone☎️
I wouldnt blame you
BeeBoopitude
are you watching thumbelina
BeeBoopitude
also i love Jacquimo. i don't know why. he's useless. but i love him
Elf of the Sun
I don't think I ever saw Rockadoodle, but Don Bluth in general is good at ratcheting up pure nightmare fuel.
kia
Thumbelina was my fave don bluth film. Jacquimo's wings always seemed weird to me but I could never pinpoint why
Elf of the Sun
I think Fern Gully and Anastasia were my favorites.
BeeBoopitude
i loved the Secret of Nimh
BeeBoopitude
also Titan AE
Zombibble
I know I loved rockadoodle but I can't remember anything but a coloring book, the kid turning into a cat(??), and that one really hot rooster lady...
BeeBoopitude
goldie!
Mica
As i recall the plot goes like
Mica
there's a belief that the sun won't rise unless the rooster crows
Mica
but then there's a dumb rooster fight right at dawn bc the bad guys wanna usurp and crush the good guy elvis rooster
Mica
and he misses sunrise and the sun rises without him crowing
Mica
so the cult is shattered and he becomes disillusioned and must go on a journey of self-discovery in order to come back and kick that guy's ass
Mica
but maybe i hallucinated all that
