The talented <a href="https://jonathansundy.com/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Jonathan Sundy</a> joins us to discuss the films written and directed by Don Bluth (No Littlefoot or Fievel here). Bluth is famous for leaving Disney and then giving them a run for their money in the late 80s and early 90s. In this episode, we look at the highs and lows of Bluth's career.  Check out Jonathan Sundy's books <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/stores/Jonathan-Sundy/author/B01BX6MESA?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1718333459&sr=1-1&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true"> here</a>.  As always let us know what we got wrong on <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/popcornauteur/">Facebook</a>, on Twitter, <a href= "https://twitter.com/PopcornAuteur">@PopcornAuteur</a>, or email us at <a href= "mailto:popcornauteur@gmail.com">popcornauteur@gmail.com</a>.   Show Notes/Sources: <a href= "https://youtu.be/j0CrEhFIH2I?feature=shared">https://youtu.be/j0CrEhFIH2I?feature=shared</a> <a href= "https://youtu.be/WKCLqeh0fjw?feature=shared">https://youtu.be/WKCLqeh0fjw?feature=shared</a> <a href= "https://youtu.be/Jt2YG-T9Njk?feature=shared">https://youtu.be/Jt2YG-T9Njk?feature=shared</a> <a href= "https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2022-08-21/don-bluth-career-secret-of-nimh-anastasia-disney"> https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2022-08-21/don-bluth-career-secret-of-nimh-anastasia-disney</a>

Jon and Chris get a film education, one filmmaker at a time. Each month, we pick a famous filmmaker and watch every film that he or she wrote and directed.  Then, we research the filmmaker's history and critical assessments of their work.  Finally, we talk about the films, consistent themes throughout, and answer definitively: Are they an auteur and do we like them?
