“Some Pig,” amiright?! Some…year, actually. Oh my god, it’s already been a whole year since our last upload!!! Don’t worry, Dax has a very good reason as to why. He……just didn’t get around to editing it until now. Oh wow, that’s actually a very unsatisfying reason. In any event, we have a “Terrific” Non-Bluth episode for you on the world’s most “Radiant” pig, Wilbur! (as well as every other pig we can think of) Join us and returning guest Andrew Roebuck as we talk on the nature of death and how one little spider helped some of our younger selves understand its complicated, but simple place in our lives. So please ready yourselves, “Humble” listeners, for an extremely on-brand, two and a half hours long discussion on everyone’s favorite vegan inspiring childhood classic, Charlotte’s Web!

We’ve lost our minds. Where? Somewhere over the rainbow, I think. We were gone for months, but never mind that, it’s us again on this April Foolsy day to bring you an episode that no one asked for, but everyone will enjoy (hopefully anyway)! Today, we’re joined by fellow friend and cat-enthusiast, Andrew Roebuck, to talk about an obscure Filmation animated feature film sequel to The Wizard of Oz starring Liza Minnelli as Dorothy. Why? Because Don Bluth was, in fact, a layout artist on this movie back in 1972. Yup, that’s it! That’s all the justification we need to make an entire Oz-themed episode for our unsuspecting listeners. So grab your favorite Cairn Terrier, click your heels together, and watch out for that Tornado, because we’re all on a wonderfully unexpected “Journey Back to Oz!”

Happy Life Day, Everyone! And what better way to celebrate Life Day than with a new Non-Bluth episode talking about Nelvana, the studio responsible for underground Sci-Fi animation such as A Cosmic Christmas, Romie-0 and Julie-8, Rock & Rule, Intergalactic Thanksgiving, Star Wars: Droids, Star Wars: Ewoks, and yes, even the animated segment from The Star Wars Holiday Special. Joining us is special guest Avery, who, having a unique history with the studio, kindly shares his experiences of visiting Nelvana in its earlier days. We also talk at length about the various shows that Avery and ourselves grew up with from this extremely unique Canadian production house that rarely gets the recognition it deserves in the history of animation.

This is our idea of fun, talking about The Swan Princess. Sara has never seen it before, Dax has. Worlds collide, people are swans, and frogs are voiced by John Cleese. This is a magical tale about royalty and upper class living/lifestyles, but what do you expect from a movie directed by a man named "Richard Rich"? This Non-Bluth entry also has some interesting connections with a few Don Bluth films that we discuss a plenty. So does it hold up? Or does it fall from the sky like a wounded swan? Join us for the sweetest animated story of an arranged marriage ever told. We give it eight swans out of ten (probably).

We had a blast guesting on the Riverdale podcast Milkshakes and Mimosas with host Andrew Roebuck. We talked all about Don Bluth's time at Filmation working on Archie and His New Pals, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Fantastic Voyage, Will the Real Jerry Lewis Please Sit Down, and of course, the Groovie Goolies! Since we never extensively covered Don's Filmation years on TBTWBANBTB, we're excited for you all to listen. Find Milkshakes and Mimosas in Riverdale and everywhere you get your podcasts!
**Edit: There was a snafu previously where the few most recent Milkshakes and Mimosas episodes weren't distributing properly beyond just Anchor and Spotify. The issue is fixed now, so here's the iTunes link for the reupload as well.

We might as well change the name of our podcast to The Blath, the Whole Blath, and Nothing But the Blath...ers, because this episode is probably 90% about Animal Crossing (which is in no way related to Don Bluth). Sure, we intended for it to be an update on our lives and what's in store for the podcast, but it turns out our podcast updates are short and we have no lives outside of Tom Nook's happy version of capitalism. And you probably don't either, if you've been social distancing properly. But we hope this episode satisfies your need (was there any?) for our witty banter, or at least our familiar meandering tangents, and yes we do actually bring up animation of sorts! Do we lose our minds a little bit? Who can say, because who among us has any mind left these days?

https://anchor.fm/cineppraisalMusic in this episode is (mostly) from Animal Crossing: New Horizons by Nintendo.
A small note that this episode was recorded July 3rd, in case some of the timing in our discussion doesn't line up with when we're releasing it over two weeks later!
Animal Crossing aside, what's our podcast usually about.....? Oh yeah, Don Bluth! Do you have a Don Bluth related story or thoughts on any of his films that you would like to share with our pod? Just call (323) 380-8103 and leave a message to be included as part of our final episode down the line! Or, if you have some audio recording know-how, feel free to email us a download link for a WAV audio file recording of yourself to [email protected]. Or just email us and we’ll read it on the pod. Whatever is most comfortable for you!

I tell you what, you'll be glad you joined us on this episode of The Bluth, the Whole Bluth, and Nothing But the Bluth, because we're Bartalkin' Bartok the Magnificent with our good buddy, Chris Bramante! Since this is the only sequel (prequel?) to any of Don Bluth's films that the Don himself directed (and Gary too!), we felt justified in devoting a whole episode to that humorous Hank Azarian bat and his Kelsey Grammerian bear friend. Get ready for singing (maybe), Simpsons/Futurama references (most likely), and some loose Russian history (there's an outside chance). So strap yourself in for an episode that's simply B-A-R-T— OK! (wait....) I mean Magnificent, simply Magnificent!

On this very special Russian history fueled episode of The Bluth, the Whole Bluth, and Nothing But the Bluth, come with us and our guest, Chris Bramante, on a Journey to the Past! Mostly because we recorded this episode right before quarantine so it feels like a hundred years ago. We had the pleasure of discussing Don Bluth and Gary Goldman's first venture with Fox Animation Studios, Anastasia. Do we talk about how great this movie is? Perhaps. Do we break into song? Possibly. Who can even remember? If you're listening to this In the Dark of the Night, Once Upon a December (seven months after we release it), then flip a light on why don't you? You can Learn to Do It. If we can learn to do it! You can learn to do it too!

On this episode of The Bluth, the Whole Bluth, and Nothing But the Bluth, it's part two of Don Bluth's Disney Days! We discuss two films from 1977 that couldn't be more different: The Rescuers and Pete's Dragon. Whether you're a Madame Medusa fan or just really into lighthouses for some reason, there's bound to be something for everyone. Put the kids and crocodiles to bed, grab your favorite imaginary friend, and join us for a Brazzle Dazzle discussion that might also include The Fox and the Hound if we can end up remembering anything from it!

On this episode of The Bluth, the Whole Bluth, and Nothing But the Bluth, we're going back in time to Don Bluth's Disney Days with our guests, Chris Bramante and Matt Schiavone! We discuss The Sword in the Stone, Robin Hood, and a little of Pooh's many adventures. Plus we might even learn the difference between an animation director and a director of animation. So oo-de-lally, hockety pockety, and other such whimsical exclamations!

It's another NON-BLUTH, and we're finishing up the Amblimation trilogy by talking all things Balto. Somehow, we also spend a good chunk of time talking about Super Mario Brothers, Harry Potter, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Tarzan, and Cats (2019), but trust us, it all comes back to Balto. From the epic true story it's based on to the voice cast, live-action bookends, and disturbingly hot animals, we discuss this film and all its tangents like you've never heard before.

It's time for a festive Non-Bluth, and there's no better way to celebrate Christmas than with Mickey's Christmas Carol! We have a lot to say about this classic childhood favorite, as well as two other Disney shorts: Pluto's something or other, and that Santa one. Whether you're spending Christmas with your family, your cats, or the various ghosts of Christmas, we hope you enjoy our trip down memory lane with these cartoon staples of the holiday season.

On this very special Christmas episode of The Bluth, the Whole Bluth, and Nothing But the Bluth, we go all the way back to Don Bluth's time at Disney to discuss his directorial debut, The Small One.

Sam wouldn't let Frodo go into Mordor without him, so why would we venture into this Tolkien-themed Non-Bluth without an entire Fellowship? On this episode, we're joined by Steven Ray Morris, Grayson Kent, A.E. Fletcher, JSalvador, Evan Koehne, Omar Najam, Andulka Wilkes, and Rachele Russello to discuss the original animated Tolkien films: The Hobbit (1977), The Lord of the Rings (1978), and The Return of the King (1980). Outside. Enjoy!

It's another episode of The Bluth, the Whole Bluth, and Nothing But the Bluth, and this time we think we may have watched A Troll in Central Park. It's all sort of a blur. What did we talk about? Who can say? Probably a little about Dom DeLuise, a little about magic shape-shifting dream boats, and there may have been a witch involved. Talking flowers? You'll just have to listen and find out!

It's another NON-BLUTH episode, and this time we're diving into the classic 90s film, FernGully: The Last Rainforest! Along with returning guest Steven Ray Morris, we discuss the memorable songs, the production's rivalry with Disney, and the environmental message that's still relevant today. We also talk way too much about sexy goo. Please join us for a while in the secret world of FernGully.

It's our tiniest episode yet! On this week's episode of The Bluth, the Whole Bluth, and Nothing But the Bluth, we discuss the musical fairy tale Thumbelina. Did you know about all the Disney connections? Or that this film is an award-winner? Or maybe you're just curious about our thoughts on those frogs. Take a listen! We're sure you'll fall in love with this episode faster than Thumbelina falls in love with Prince Cornelius.

Welcome to another installment in our NON-BLUTH series! This week we're joined by musician and podcaster Analise Nelson (Popular Music: The Podcast) to discuss a film too few have ever seen: Rock & Rule. We talk about why this film is a cult classic, the cast that’s packed full of famous pop stars, and which mouse-person is hottest. Oh yeah, and the music, of course. If we could release this episode on cassette tape, we would, but we can't, so just imagine we did!
