Sullivan Bluth Studios was an Irish-American animated film production company established in 1979 by animator
Don Bluth. Bluth and several colleagues, all of whom were former
Disney animators, left Disney in 1979 to form
Don Bluth Productions, later known as the
Bluth Group. This studio produced the short film
Banjo the Woodpile Cat, the feature film
The Secret of NIMH, and the video games
Dragon's Lair and
Space Ace. The Bluth Group went
bankrupt in 1984, and Bluth co-founded Sullivan Bluth Studios with Irish-American businessman
Morris Francis Sullivan in 1985.
