Who was the director of the film whose success, along with that of An American Tail and The Land Before Time, prompted Steven Spielberg to establish his own animation studio?
An American Tail An American Tail is a 1986 American animated musical adventure family comedy-drama film directed by Don Bluth and produced by Sullivan Bluth Studios and Amblin Entertainment. It tells the story of Fievel Mousekewitz and his family as they emigrate from Russian Empire-controlled territory of Ukraine to the United States for freedom. However, he gets lost and must find a way to reunite with them. It was released on November 21, 1986, to reviews that ranged from positive to mixed and was a box office hit, making it the highest-grossing non-Disney animated film at the time. The success of it, "The Land Before Time", and Disney's "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", as well as Bluth's departure from their partnership, prompted Steven Spielberg to establish his own animation studio, Amblimation.
Stitch! The Movie Stitch! The Movie is an American direct-to-video animated film in the "Lilo & Stitch" franchise, released on August 26, 2003. Although it follows the events of the first film (and, by extension, the 2005 direct-to-video sequel ""), it is often considered more of a backdoor pilot for the spin-off series "". The story is an introduction to Dr. Jumba Jookiba's 625 experiments (made prior to Stitch) that he created with the financing of Dr. Jacques von Hämsterviel. The film was produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Walt Disney Television Animation, with animation done by Rough Draft Korea and Starburst Animation.
