You think Don Bluth was crushed by Disney? Oh no, it was the reverse my friend. Don Bluth left Disney because the execs were in charge of story. He then made his own movies that nearly destroyed Disney Animation. Great Mouse Detective, Oliver and Company, and the Black Cauldron could not compete with any of the non Disney releases. American Tale and NIMH took the spot light and the money in the box office. Oh and Disney had to compete with Spielberg's Land Before Time as well. No wonder Disney nearly fell. Disney Animation was Bankrupt until Little Mermaid. But by the time Disney's silver age hit Bluth was making terrible movies like Rockadoodle.
And what happened after Disney's silver age? The execs pissed off Katzenberg and he left Disney for Dreamworks. Katzenberg banked on Shrek and then Disney killed it's 2D department once and for all.
Which type of animation is better...?
