Don Bluth brings the Dragon’s Lair movie to Kickstarter

November 4, 2015 by Villordsutch

For those of us that haunted the Arcade Rooms of the 1980’s there was one particular arcade machine that stood-out amongst the rest due to it unbelievable animation and graphics, that game was Dragon’s Lair by the great animator Don Bluth.  Unlike a normal arcade machine which relied computer generated images, Dragon’s Lair was the first game to incorporate a Laser Disc to hold pure hand-painted animation.  Adored by everyone that played it and brought back on numerous formats across the ages it has never however been become a fully fledge movie, that is until – hopefully – now.

Both Don Bluth and Gary Goldman have reunited – on Kickstarter – and have set the goal of $550,000 to create a short animated film, to give the world a small taste of what they could give us if they had access to a feature-film budget.  They’ll be taking this short on the road to promote Dragon’s Lair to the numerous fans and hopefully generating even more interest as they do.

Don Bluth and Gary Goldman are famous for many animated films including The Secret of NIMH, An American Tail, The Land Before Time, All Dogs Go To Heaven, Anastasia and this list goes on.

With numerous incentives for your pledges including pin badges, lanyards, personalised caricatures, postcards and t-shirts this is something the Dragon’s Lair fan of old – and new – really should be dropping a few pennies into.

For more information of the Dragon’s Lair Kickstarter campaign then pop along here.
