After more than five decades in Hollywood, Don Bluth, the man behind some of the most iconic animated films ever made, tells his story. Don Bluth never felt like a Donald. So people have always called him Don. A matinee of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs awakened something within him. Despite growing up in rural Texas and Utah, he practiced and worked hard to become an Hollywood animator. And after working alongside his idol Walt Disney, and on films including Sleeping Beauty, The Sword in the Stone, Robin Hood, Winne the Pooh, The Rescuers, and Pete's Dragon, he realized that the company had changed into something he didn't necessarily believe in. So made the industry-shocking decision to start his own animation studio. It was from that studio, Don's studio, that came such award-winning, generation-defining films as The Secret of NIMH, An American Tail, The Land Before Time, All Dogs Go to Heaven, Anastasia, and the video game Dragon's Lair. Now, after more than half a century in the movie business, Don is ready to tell the story of his life. How his passions for artistry, integrity, and his Mormon faith shaped him into the beloved icon whose creativity, entrepreneurship, and deeply-held beliefs entertained, enthralled, and inspired millions across the globe.

New Favorite Biography

I am sure everyone at least ever watched Disney's classic animation Sleeping Beauty, The Sword in the Stone, Robin Hood, Winne the Pooh, The Rescuers, and Pete’s Dragon. Never? Let try this The Secret of NIMH, An American Tail, The Land Before Time, All Dogs Go to Heaven, Anastasia, and the video game Dragon’s Lair. Now I am sure it sound the ring. An animator artist is one kind of proffesion that recognizes more by result but rare by individual name. And this biography makes me so happy because at least I will knew one of the greatest of them. Don shared his art journey since young age as a farm boy to become one of the famous Disney illustrator and build his own company. His narration is smart, humble and funny. It shared genuine about his experience, his life lesson, his personal motivation and his dedication. I personally love how he remembered all of quotes from his teachers/mentors and give credits to them. His biography is easy to read even for reader who not familiar with this type of nonfiction book. I will happily recommend this book for friends who love art and information insight the animation movies.
