First off, Bluth is bankrupt, and his studio has gone under. Second, his animators were VERY unhappy with him after Secret of NIMH. They were asked to work double and triple time for "a share of the profits" (not for salary), which never came through (although Bluth himself made a profit as he was directing). It is my understanding (and this is a bit less sure then the first two) that there were a number of defections after Secret. Joe Kalash kalash@berkeley ucbvax!kalash
