This is so cool, Don Bluth had pretty snazzy place at Ireland. I'd love to know what else was going on behind the scenes, because from what I can see, production's mostly focused on Pebble and the Penguin, but I can see some Troll in Central Park cels being made, shame there are no behind the scenes stories about any of Don Bluth's movies made in that period.
aquelescaraaaaaaaaaa I prefer Pebble over Troll. Even though the latter was a bigger part of my childhood. I haven't watched Troll since my senior year of high school
There's a behind-the-scenes documentary of "The Pebble And The Penguin" on the 2007 Family Fun Edition DVD of the movie. It's right here: m.ruclips.net/video/0dg_zUiu3U4/видео.html
I know Bluth disowned it, but Pebble will always be my favorite Bluth movie! Critics panned it and even mentioned that Marina was a boring damsel in distress... but I think she was just a total pacifist full of light and love! Hubie was the one who had to change and be the hero! Shy, meek guys like me need role models too and want girls who love them for who they are and care about their welfare, and this is one of the rare movies that do that in the sweetest way I think! Thank you for sharing these intimate 11 minutes of everyone working and bringing this movie to life. :)
Sandro - thank you so much for sharing this. It was truly remarkable to view a 'virtual tour' of Sullivan Bluth Studios during the height of production of one of the Don Bluth films that I hold the most affinity for (#211 The Pebble and the Penguin). I have frequently taken pause to imagine what it must have been like to work there during that specific era. My family and colleagues deeply appreciate the diligent effort and talent that you and your colleagues at SB Studios put into creating these films. They are irreplaceable treasures that cannot be matched by today's CG fare. You are extremely fortunate to have worked under the likes of Don Bluth, Gary Goldman and John Pomeroy. Out of curiosity, may I ask which character(s) and sequences you were primarily involved with for this film?
Yes, sadly the 1990s were very badly hit with a massive film industry recession, lots of studios were struggling, it was a terrible time to be trying to enter into the animation industry, or film industry work, very few studios where able to afford to employ new artists, in this video it looks like they only had a skeleton crew in the Don Bluth studio to work on this film, it looks very sad to me, :(

Pebble is my fav Don Bluth movie tied with Thumbelina. Can anyone find any Pebble related promotions Seaworld did back in 1995 that would very appreciative
Manuel - I have no television video clips of the SeaWorld promos coinciding with the MGM home video VHS release of the film. HOWEVER... I collect anything related to The Pebble and the Penguin to preserve its history (merchandising tie-ins, toys, Pebble/Penguin animation art from SB Studios, etc.), and I do have two VHS clamshells having the original SeaWorld Name-A-Penguin Contest promo stickers and inserts, rebate form, and also the admission discount flyers (of course presented by both Hubie and Marina).

Ótimo vídeo, Sandro. Lembro da camera line test (mas só tinha uma funcionando no Dogs 2); o Paul Newberry, meu primeiro supervisor, que depois partiu pra Fox; a sala do screening (só usada para life drawing no Dogs 2). O de camisa rosa não é o John Power? Bom desenhista e um cara bacana, quase comprei o Honda Civic dele, mas resolvi que continuaria com os ônibus verdes de dois andares, que sempre vinham em pares depois de esperar o maior tempão.

She & her mother were killed by the father

Lovely !.. I can still remember the excitment I felt when I was offered a job here. .. magical times.
This is a cool studio, thanks for sharing it

The Pebble & The Penguin...1995. A great year !
Jack Silver Not a perfect year but now I am looking back I am glad I lived in it in terms of pop culture
Happy 26th Anniversary Of The Pebble And The Penguin
It was Don Bluth's final film to use traditional cel animation.
@@DennisTamayo They used cel animation in Anastasia, too (1997). It had some 3D camera pans, but even then they used hand painted textures.
@@basaari1715 That's during pre-production!
An amazing insight into the wonderful Don Bluth Studios. Thanks for sharing this!

Darwin Long Perfect
Your gallery is awesome
Darwin Long Have you ever thought of turning Pebble into a musical on Broadway?
Incredible document!
Thanks for posting, Sandro! Strange to see it all again, after so much time.
Too bad it was Pebble, of all the movies, to be shown worked on.
Man I wish I could've worked there!
So, this is were the magic happens.

This building has been bankrupted 20 years ago.
+John Ylitalo Time has gone by quick as lightning
Were you able to meet Don Bluth and if so what was he like? Also did you work there as an animator?
Glen McIntosh at 2:29 😎
This is amazing, makes me realize how much they really invested for their life long passion. Was that whole massive building just for Bluth studios?
Yes, it was.
Sad day for ireland when they closed
I remember when we got the bones out of the canal at low tide...whos desk is that with the sheep skull?
woah ;0;
Was it you who shot this?
Yes, I did just before I left but I was nervous about it because I knew the producers did not approve of it. I am glad I did it.
Why was the studio closed in Ireland?
10:56 is that Moya?
Is that Whitney Houston singing in background from 6:30 to 6:40?
