Wow, seeing that I am the first person to review this on flixster is very odd. This is Don Bluth's first film apart from Disney and is considered a piece of animation history! I great debut apart from Disney!

Don Bluth's first official film without Disney. The animation is very smooth and has Don Bluth's distinct stylized characters.
