I also forgot the "runs away" bit too.

No wonder it's used in many animation classes as an example of how NOT to make a film.<br /><br />And another running theme in every one of bluth's cartoons is that whenever a character confronts an issue or problem, the character runs away from it.

It seems the one common theme present in many of his projects often involve a lost child finding his way home. This happens in Banjo, it happens in An American Tail, it happens somewhat in Land Before Time and it certainly happens in Rock-a-Doodle. It was certainly an eye-opener for me not ever realizing that pattern and I'm sure Rock-a-Doodle would be fine to watch without the addition of the boy character that Bluth wanted so much.Chris Sobieniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838106041175506925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-47427315659265800932011-11-09T09:19:48.839-08:002011-11-09T09:19:48.839-08:00Glad you liked it.
