Fans of the Don Bluth films, I'd like to know what your favorite one is.
I decided to make this a two option poll because I love both NIMH and LBT to pieces!
I'm sure most Don Bluth fans can agree that of the 10 animated films he directed, his first four were his best, his next four were his worst, and his last two are debatable.

The Secret Of NIMH isn't just Don Bluth's best movie, it's one of the best movies of all time, period. Sure, it wasn't entirely faithful to the book, but it still told a fantastic story and the emotion displayed on Mrs. Brisby throughout its entirety was palpable. The scene in which the rats were pulling her back, as she struggled to rescue her children who were sinking into the mud, was astounding. The look on her face. The emotion. Astounding.

I've voted for the ones that I know best: All Dogs Go to Heaven and Anastasia. I would have voted for LBT, but the second one was a bit under order by my twin sister (she'll probably hurt me if I didn't vote for it. )

I got a lot to say about these films as well.
The Secret of NIMH (1982) Any way you look at it, this movie is a masterpiece. I saw it for the first time in who knows how many years in 2005 and I forgot how good it was. Great story, great characters, great writing, great epicness, and it's all done in traditional hand-drawn animation. Even though it did bomb in the box office, I will agree with the fans that this is Don Bluth's masterpiece.
An American Tail (1986) I saw this one a lot when I was a kid. Sure it is a little sad, but it's still good, and it has a nostalgic factor to it.
The Land Before Time (1988) This movie left a huge impact on my life, which is why it is one of my favorite movies of all time. I couldn't decide if I think this or SoN is the best of the bunch. I think critically, SoN, but personally, this one.
All Dogs Go To Heaven (1989) This movie didn't do very well in theaters at all, but it's still a pretty good movie; it did generate a big fanbase and gained a cult following regardless of how well it did.
Rock-A-Doodle (1991) This was the point where Don Bluth started to show signs of decline in his movies. Even though it was made by the same people who gave us "An American Tail" and "The Land Before Time", it makes you wish you were watching one of those instead.
A Troll in Central Park (1994) Ugh! I gotta agree with the Nostalgia Critic as well as all the other Bluth fans. This is, hands down, his absolute worst movie! Were they even thinking when they made this movie? We love you, Dom DeLuise.
Thumbelina (1994) I haven't seen this one, but I saw the Nostalgia Chick's review, and it looks pretty bad.
The Pebble and the Penguin (1995) Again, I agree with the Nostalgia Critic. Of all the bad Don Bluth films, this one is the least bad. It's got good voice acting and that classic Don Bluth feel, and at least they were actually trying this time as opposed to TiCP.
Anastasia (1997) Haven't seen this one, but I would like to after hearing a lot of great reviews on it.
Titan A.E. (2000) I checked this out out of curiousity, and it's not like anything that Don Bluth had ever done, but there are some moments where you can see stuff that looks like his work.
I welcome other people's opinions.

I would have to vote for All Dogs Go To Heaven and Anastasia. They were both childhood favorites of mine and I just couldn't possibly choose between the two so I'm glad we're allowed to vote for two! I also love Rock-A-Doodle, too, though. I used to watch it all the time and my dad said I drove him crazy with it!

Don Bluth is one reason why we almost lost the Walt Disney Animation department... While I like some of his movies, I dislike his decision to up and leave Disney and take more than half the new animators with him...
For this reason, I will not vote, but I do like some of his films...

I've got some sickening news to announce!
I just heard yesterday that the Secret of NIMH is getting a live action remake too! Only whoever is doing it is taking the Tim Burton route and following the book and calling it by its proper title: "Mrs. Frisbee and the Rats of NIMH".
Geez! When will it end???

I can think of three films that come to mind.
Secret of NIMH Land Before Time All Dogs Go To Heaven
I've got to admit that these were awesome movies, they did have some dark elements in the films.
