“To be honest, it has been a while since I have seen this movie and maybe I should re-watch it at some point. Basically, after going through a rather dark period, Don Bluth finally managed to make a come-back with this movie which would be his last critical and commercial success. Of course, you could argue that Bluth basically copied the standard template used by Disney in many fairy tales but he did it very well and the end-result was really quite entertaining to behold.
