While Netflix develops an adaptation of his iconic game Dragon’s Lair, Don Bluth, 82, is looking ahead to future projects. The animation legend behind The Secret of NIMH and The Land Before Time has launched a new venture, Don Bluth Studios, with the express goal to create “new characters, new ideas, and new cartoons.”
The announcement was published on the studio’s Facebook page. “We believe the public is craving another renaissance of hand-drawn animation,” it continues. “Our goal is to make that dream become a reality.”
One of its first projects is Bluth Fables, which is based on “multiple short stories similar to nursery rhymes and Aesop fables” written by Bluth himself. This and other ideas are fleshed out in a number of live streams hosted by the studio, which have since been uploaded to Youtube:
