The Don Bluth film Banjo the Woodpile Cat is now available on a special 30th anniversary 2 disc DVD set. Created in mostly spare time in Don Bluth’s garage, this is the film that helped launch Don Bluth’s post Disney career. Hopefully the DVD contains stories of the around the clock production schedule, tight deadline, and exodus of Disney artists to join Don as he started to get his studio off the ground.

If only I had this back in the 80’s, I would have a whole lot more quarters than I do now. YouTube user NightmareTX has created an annotated video that shows which buttons you need to press, and when you need to press them, in order to complete Don Bluth’s “Dragon’s Lair”. This game was always more fun to watch than play, in my opinion. Now you can watch it al the way through, and know what the player is doing to get past some of the harder bits.-Floyd Bishop
