The Don Bluth Collection of Animation
The Don Bluth Collection of Animation came to the Savannah College of Art and Design as a donation from Don Bluth and Gary Goldman in fall of 2005. The collection consists of cells, animation drawings, storyboards, color models, and other materials created by Don Bluth Productions and later incarnations of this company in the creation of animated features and video games between 1979 and 2000. Also included in the collection are administrative, legal, and other documents, as well as scripts, concepts, and publicity related materials. The studio operated in both the United States and Ireland, and was, at various times, affiliated with other production companies. A preliminary inventory was completed by summer of 2006 and processing began in fall of that same year. Though the processing of the collection will continue for many years, materials already processed are available to researchers now. Presented here are selections from various animated features, concepts, and video games in the collection. The materials are divided by feature titles.

Banjo the Woodpile Cat, the story about a kitten who wanders away from home, was based in part on the Bluth's farm in Utah. The family actually had a cat living in a woodpile near the house. One day, they noticed that the cat was gone, but after several weeks, it came home and stayed. Bluth and his brothers, intrigued about what might have happened to him during his time away, made up a story about his adventures in the big city. The story had a positive family message about running away to "find the good times", only to find that the "best times" are at home with the love of your family.

Dragon's Lair, originally released in 1983, was a video game created for laserdisc. It featured Dirk the Daring on a quest to rescue Princess Daphne from the evil dragon Singe, who had locked her in a wizard's castle. The game was developed by Rick Dyer of Advanced Microcomputer Systems. He had created storyboards to map out the game play, but realized quality animation was needed to complete the project and brought the plans to Don Bluth and his new studio. The budget was so small that the studio animators used their own voices instead of voice actors and each other as models. Princess Daphne was based on Playboy Magazine photos and Marilyn Monroe’s face. The game was an immediate success, but the laserdisc format was not long-lived due to the high cost of production.

After the success of Dragon’s Lair, the studio began developing Dragon’s Lair II: Time Warp in 1983. It takes place years after the original; Dirk and Daphne have married and produced numerous children. When Daphne is kidnapped by the evil wizard, Mordroc, Dirk must save her. The game was not released until 1991 as an arcade game. The gameplay differs from the original in that it was linear instead of random and the player was able to collect treasure and extra points. Dirk progresses through seven dimensions with the help of a time machine, until he gets to the final battle with Mordroc’s minions. Another level with Dirk on a pirate ship was storyboarded for the game, but omitted from the 1991 release.
