Scott and Michael take a trip back to an entire decade of animation from director Don Bluth, looking at each of his animated projects from the 1980s: the short subject, “Banjo, the Woodpile Cat,” the feature films, “The Secret of NIMH,” “An American Tail,” “The Land Before Time,” and “All Dogs go to Heaven,” as well as an animated segment in “Xanadu,” and the video games “Dragon’s Lair,” and “Space Ace.”
They also discuss animation they’ve been catching up on, such as classic cartoons on Tubi and Disney/Pixar’s latest, “Hoppers.”
