Don Bluth, the man who directed these films:
The Secret of NIMH
An American Tail
All Dogs Go to Heaven
The Land Before Time
Anastasia
Titan AE

And made these games:
Dragon's Lair
Space Ace
Dragon's Lair II: TImewarp

And worked on as an animator:
The Rescuers
Sleeping Beauty
The Fox and the Hound
The Sword and the Stone
Robin Hood
Pete's Dragon

And other franchises including Archie, Winnie the Pooh, the Wizard of Oz, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and Fantastic Voyage among others.

He's doing a Kickstarter so he can put together a ten minute pitch for a Dragon's Lair animated film. He's looking to get $550,000 so that he can try to obtain $70,000,000 in funding to make the film itself.

This is one of the all-time great animators, worthy of mention amongst the likes of Walt Disney and Hayao Miyazaki. It's been over 15 years since he had a theatrical film.

I'd love to see him get one more shot at it. If he still has a little bit of his old magic left, it's well worth my $15.

Anyone else excited?
