The filmography for this article lists Journey Back To Oz and next to that, in parenthesis, it says "director". However, if you look on the "Journey Back To Oz" page, it lists Hal Sutherland as director of that film. Why? Which page is right? Web wonder ( talk) 05:00, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
Any objections to moving most of the info from "Career" to a new article about Don Bluth Productions? Most of that info applies to his production company and not him personally. — Frecklefoot | Talk 20:18, May 25, 2005 (UTC)

I don't know what the author means when he says that Don Bluth animation is more 'lively' than Disney animation, or that his films contain a mystical quality about them. If these were significant quotes from critics and commenters, they'd be okay, but they sound more like an appreciative fan than a concise description of the man and his work.
Can someone do a fact check on the Trivia? Someone put in that Don Bluth was HIV positive. I can't find any other reference to that on the internet.
When exactly did he start at Disney? The current section is extremely confusing, saying he started working in the 1970's, only to return in the 1970's, and has him working on things from 1959's Sleeping Beauty to 1977's The Rescuers and 1981's The Fox and The Hound during his original stint. There's also no reference to his leaving (or why), only that he returned. Someone with a knowledge of his career ought to clean it up so it makes more sense.

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh 1977 should be mentioned after Robin hood regarding his work with disney.
Bluth was one of the most influential animators of all time. Shouldn't we improve his page for the next CD Selection soon? (Also a high-priority asset for WP:US-TOON, which is being revived as of typing this.) --Slgr @ndson ( page - messages - contribs) 21:10, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
I noticed on Don Bluth's template a Rapunzel movie's in the works. Is this true and if so, where's the source information? Movingimage 12:51, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
I don't know who said that Bluth was trying to find a funding for a "Dragon's Lair" movie, but that info is severely false. I know someone who personally knows Don Bluth, and he says that he really is retired for good. Right now, he's directing plays and doing stuff for younger people like that. He's no longer doing movies, especially since 2D animation is a thing of the past now. I suggest you contribute to directors who are still active.

Shouldn't the quote " But a small number critics gave the film only faint praise (with criticisms that it was too fast-paced or overdone) perhaps unable to overcome the prejudice that only Disney could produce truly great animated films. [1] [2] [3] [4]" be taken off of this page and moved to the page about The Secret of NIMH? The opinions it relays are a small sample completly outside of the overall opinion. On an encyclopedia page about Don Bluth, why would anyone want to read about every little outlier in the reception of his movies? 71.162.2.126 ( talk) 03:56, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
I have no idea how well the game sold, but isn't what the article states unfair? I've looked at a lot of scores and reviews and it looks like the reception for the game was actually mixed to positive. Unless it was a massive flop, I think it should be given some credit. 71.162.2.126 ( talk) 05:40, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
What the heck does "and 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney is his (half) second cousin" mean? I'm familiar with half-brothers or half-sisters, since a word like "brother" normally implies you share two parents and a half-brother shares only one. But unless your family tree is, shall we say, quirky, usually a first cousin isn't related to you through both your mother AND your father. So what does "(half)" mean in this context? Maybe someone can clarify that language (did they mean second cousin once removed, or something like it?) if they know anything about this? (And if that person does know about this from some reliable source, this is probably the sort of fact we should cite, eh?) I don't know anything about this to be able to correct it, but I also didn't want to just remove the statement since it clearly meant something to somebody (and for all I know is perfectly simple to understand). 71.239.174.150 ( talk) 06:58, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
