My first job in the animation industry was around June 1988, at the Dublin Don Bluth studio. A long time ago, in a very different animation industry! I have many memories of that time, so maybe some of them will be of interest. I'll record a few more episodes along this line for those who may be interested. This version is slightly edited, to remove some material that I don't want on youtube. Nothing mad, just stuff better behind a patreon paywall and for subscribers - link to that is above. If I do deal with material that's a bit more sensitive, I will definitely paywall that.
The course I taught for Linkedin-Learning covering the topic of historical animation styles might be of interest, as one of the styles was the classic Don Bluth look:
