When Bluth was just 4 years old, his parents took him to see Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and he was fascinated by the scene where the Evil Queen transforms into a witch. He said, “It was something that impressed me,” Bluth told Deseret News in July 2022. “‘Let’s go do that again!’ I was very impressed with the look of it. I couldn’t s...
Bluth’s great-grandfather was Helaman Pratt, an early leader in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and one of the founders of Prattville, Utah. One-time Republican presidential candidate and current junior senator of Utah Mitt Romney is also Pratt’s great-grandson, making Romney and Bluth second cousins.
At age 18, Bluth was hired by Walt Disney Productions as what was known as an “in-between,” a person who adds frames to the animators’ drawings. He rose quickly and was soon promoted to assistant animator for John Lounsbery, one of Disney’s famous “Nine Old Men.” “I was in what you call hog heaven, there in the studio and learning so much and just ...
While still working for Disney, Bluth launched a production company called Aurora, named after the character in Sleeping Beauty, which was the first feature film Bluth worked on. The first project he made under the company’s banner was Banjo the Woodpile Cat, a short about a farm cat who runs away to Salt Lake City. Like Walt Disney, Bluth started ...

Their first project was the animated sequence for the live-action film Xanadu (1980), starring Olivia Newton-John; T...
Don Bluth Productions had the first ever documented profit sharing agreement, which Bluth told The Washington Postwas necessary as it was “the only way we could hope to compensate people adequately for the sacrifice and extra effort required.” He continued this with his next studio. At Sullivan Bluth Studios, employees shared in up to 25 percent of...
Bluth’s films are well-known for containing some of the saddest and most disturbing moments in children’s movies. In an interview with Doug Walker, the YouTube personality best-known for his series The Nostalgia Critic(which you can watch above), Bluth said, “[If] you don’t show the darkness, you don’t appreciate the light. If it weren’t for Decemb...
Bluth has a long list of works that he has yet to complete; his unrealized projects include a short based on The Pied Piper of Hamlin and a full-length The Velveteen Rabbit. Perhaps the oddest of Bluth’s unmade projects is Strawberry Fields, a Fantasia-esque series of vignettes that utilized the music of The Beatles, which Bluth attempted to make i...
