Don Bluth

Don Bluth was born in El Paso in 1937, in a family of seven children, and grew up on a dairy farm in Utah. He discovered his vocation at six in front of a cartoon, and joined Disney straight out of high school as an in-betweener, in charge of the drawings that link the key drawings. He returned there as an animator from 1971 to 1979, then resigned on his birthday with several colleagues to found his own company. In 1986 he set up his studio in Dublin, at the invitation of the Irish government, and made it the largest in Europe. He draws his characters himself.
