Ha ha... yeah, based on all the negative reception that film got, with a lot of it being directed at how sickeningly saccharine and "kiddy" it was, yes, I imagine this is one of the better done cases for him, along with the original The Secret of NIMH and The Land Before Time movies. Don't get me wrong, I still think the good qualities outweigh the bad in all of these films and like them overall. I just feel like I've seen a decent amount of more modern "family films" tackle similarly dark themes with less blatant cuteness and "kid-appeal" better than Don Bluth did in retrospect.
