Ralph Bakshi

I'm just curious. What is Mr. Bakshi's opinion of Don Bluth? Maker of animated movies such as The Secret of NYMH, An American Tail & The Land Before Time. What does Ralph think of him and his work? Have him and Mr. Bluth ever met? Has Ralph ever considered working with him?

Ralph Bakshi and Don Bluth might work together but time would end.

Does that mean they hate each other? Sad

Their artistic styles and the intent/content of their stories are wholly disparate. Come on now, it's absolutely clear: Bluth is better than Disney, but he's still "Disney" - Ralph's no such thing.
They could never work together and still retain their characteristic elements - it doesn't stand to reason that anyone who is a fan of either artist/director should even want it to happen.

I don't know if that is what you were saying you're after - for them to work together - you never state it explicitly. Just the same, though...

I haven't seen too many of Don Bluth's films...

Check that - I haven't seen too many GOOD Don Bluth films.

But I do really like The Secret of N.I.M.H. and (especially) An American Tail. The one thing that's noticeably unique between those two films is Bluth's very stylish decision to have the human characters noticeably stand out from the mice and rats by interpreting them with rotoscoping while using regular animation techniques for non-human characters. This creates a juxtaposition between realistically drawn animated humans and cartoonishly drawn rodent characters.

Anyway, that's just my opinion. Smile

Well, they are on a tight schedule daily right now.

I was planning to wait until things cooled down a little.

Translation= Eventually Cool

Sincerely,

Brother Rabbit

P.S.

And please make comments that are directly to me in PM form and I will respond and it won't take up space on the forums.

Thanks.
