So in 1997, Don Bluth decides to do a straight up Disney-style movie And it's awful, it's a bad movie, but it does have 3 minutes where it can hold it's own against the best of the Disney Machine: Once Upon A December.

Also the animation nerd in me can't help but notice all the repeated art in that scene. Yeesh.

Like, look how we can hide the hard to animate facial expressions! we're so good at hiding that!

I've never been a rider on the Bluth fan train. I mean...Props to him for keeping hand-drawn animation alive(ish), but, as you point out, he cuts a shit-ton of corners.

Bluth is such a weird filmmaker even with a budget, it's not just like hack work it's really specific, like go ahead and watch All Dogs Go To Heaven as an adult. That stuff is BONKERS.
