Don Bluth was the only competition to Disney for some time, and he did it on a fraction of the budget. He really was brilliant, and his other three great successes in my mind were An American Tail, Anastasia, and Land Before Time. Not much of a fan of All Dogs Go to Heaven, and Titan AE was only okay. Still, his style, grit, and depth far exceeds the superficiality of most Disney films. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy many Disney movies, but I really find Bluth brilliant. Yep, yep, yep!

Of those, I've seen American Tail (both Bluth Theatrical films and both direct-to-video sequels), Anastasia (barely remember it, though, other than the dismembered bad guy), Land Before Time (not sure how many of them I've seen, but there were a lot of them), and Titan AE (Something to pass the time along). I don't mind the American Tale direct-to-video movies as much as I do Timmy to the Rescue. That's because with American Tail, you're EXPECTING it to be a musical. The movies are SUPPOSED to be about Fievel. Secret of NIMH is NOT supposed to be a musical, nor is it about a bratty Timothy. The songs in both definitely could've been better, though.
