Top 10 Don Bluth Characters

The top characters from Don Bluth's movies, as well as from video games like Dragon's Lair and Space Ace.

1. Anastasia Romanova - Anastasia

   

   Unlike most animated princesses, Anya can handle herself pretty well. She goes toe-to-toe with Dimitri and even saves him during the train scene. Plus, she defeats Rasputin by breaking his green hourglass.

   Now that Disney owns the rights to Anastasia, she can finally be inducted as a Disney princess!

2. Mrs. Brisby - The Secret of NIMH

   

   Mrs. Brisby goes to great lengths to move her family to safety. She endures every challenge and danger that comes her way.

3. Charlie Barkin - All Dogs Go to Heaven

   

   Though he starts as an unlikeable jerk, Charlie changes for the better after meeting and rescuing Anne-Marie. He even sacrifices himself to save her.

   His character development is interesting as he gradually becomes a more moral person.

4. Dirk The Daring - Dragons Lair

   

5. Borf - Space Ace

   

   The main antagonist who constantly trolls you whenever you die.

6. Bartok - Anastasia/Bartok The Magnificent

   

   Bartok is a funny and memorable character from Anastasia. He eventually got his own spinoff movie where he attempts to rescue a young prince/Czar.

   Can we all agree Bartok is the best character?

7. Littlefoot - The Land Before Time

   

8. Anne Marie - All Dogs Go to Heaven

   

   Hopefully, she still possesses her gifted ability to talk to animals even as she grows older.

   She's lucky to possess a gifted ability to speak to animals, isn't she?

   If only we had known about what her birth parents were really like.

9. Petrie - The Land Before Time

13. Ducky - The Land Before Time

    

    Ducky and Anne-Marie were super cute characters. Rest in peace, Judith Barsi.

14. Gune - Titan A.E.

    

15. Crazy Legs - Banjo The Woodpile Cat

    

    From Don Bluth's very first project, Banjo The Woodpile Cat, Crazy Legs befriends Banjo and helps him find his way home. He's voiced by the late Scatman Crothers, who also voiced another animated cat, Scat Cat, from The Aristocats.

16. Fievel Mousekewitz - An American Tail

    

    Fievel is a protagonist you genuinely feel for, as he wants to return to his family.

17. Spike - The Land Before Time

    

18. Itchy Itchiford - All Dogs Go to Heaven

    

19. Dimitri - Anastasia

    

    Since Disney owns the rights to Anastasia, he can become a Disney hero!

20. Justin - The Secret of NIMH

    

21. Tanya Mousekewitz - An American Tail: Fievel Goes West

    

    This character has a beautiful voice! I suggest listening to her sing in any of the songs from the second film, especially the a cappella intro to "The Girl You Left Behind." It's truly lovely!

    It's heartwarming how she never gives up hope of being reunited with her brother.

22. Cera - The Land Before Time

    

23. Sophie Stanislovskievna Somorkov-Smirnoff - Anastasia

    

24. Princess Daphne - Dragon's Lair

    

25. Ludmilla - Bartok the Magnificent

    

    Ludmilla is a sexy, tall, and slender lady with yellow hair.

    She is also a tyrannical magician with slaves.

26. Marina - The Pebble and The Penguin

    

27. Akima Kunimoto - Titan A.E.
