Savannah College of Art and Design Collections
The Don Bluth Collection of Animation was donated to Savannah College of Art and Design in 2005. The collection includes all aspects of the animation production pipeline, including concept art, color models, animation cels, animation drawings, story sketches, and other materials created by Don Bluth Productions and later iterations of this company. Also included in the collection are administrative files, legal documents, musical scores, scripts, and publicity-related materials.
Don Bluth and his close collaborators, Gary Goldman and John Pomeroy, produced a number of celebrated animated films and video games after departing from Walt Disney Productions, beginning in 1979 with the short film Banjo the Woodpile Cat. The Secret of NIMH (1982) followed with critical acclaim, and after an industry-wide animation strike and the studio’s subsequent bankruptcy, the studio reemerged as the Bluth Group to produce the video games Dragon’s Lair (1983) and Space Ace (1984). After another bankruptcy in 1985, the three established Sullivan Bluth Studios with Morris Sullivan which operated in both the United States and Ireland, producing An American Tail (1986) and The Land Before Time (1988) with Steven Spielberg. Sullivan Bluth Studios went on to make All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989), Thumbelina (1994), and a number of other films before Bluth and Goldman joined Fox Animation Studios in 1994 to make Anastasia.
