Sullivan Bluth Studios edit
This is an article about a famous studio headed by one of the world's most famous animators, Don Bluth. This might be WP's second good article on a cartoon company (after Nelvana). How close has it come to achieving this? --Slgrandson (page - messages - contribs) 00:08, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- fix the redlinks in the intro
- name the films that achieved poor results and that were in production during the budgetary crisis
Interesting article so far! Kaisershatner 15:26, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- Hello, this is Matticus78, and I wrote most of the article as it stands at present. I came across it at the end of November last year while on new page patrol, and it wasn't in the best of condition[1] (short, unreferenced and not very accurate). Animation history is an interest of mine, so I made it a project to rewrite the page (merging some content from the already existing article Sullivan Bluth Productions[2]). Frankly, I was surprised that Wikipedia didn't already have a good article on the studio, considering its importance. Anyway, I did a lot of research to get the article up to scratch, and basically rewrote the whole thing piece by piece over the course of a couple of months. I'd love to see this article given that bit of spit-and-polish that it needs to get it up to GA or even FA standards. The weak points I can currently see is the redlink for Morris Sullivan
and (somewhat less important) Aurora Productions, both important entities in the studio's history, but I haven't been able to come up with much useful information on him. Also, the lack of pictures representing the studio's later productions is a bit of a problem, but it's hard to find any Sullivan Bluth films on the shelves any more, much less their not-so-successful ones. Anyway, I'll do my bit to pitch in during this peer review and help address concerns and suggested improvements. ~Matticus TC 23:37, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, I created a stub article for Aurora Productions to deal with that redlink. Still can't find any good, solid information on Morris Sullivan outside his involvement with Bluth, and his being a mergers and acquisition broker (albeit semi-retired by the time he met Bluth). ~Matticus TC 00:40, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
