- Banjo, the Woodpile Cat is a 24-minute animated film that Bluth and
- other Disney defectors--Gary Goldman (not to be confused with Eric
- GOLDberg), John Pomeroy, and 14 others--made in Bluth's garage. I
- believe that ABC bought Banjo in 1980--Bluth may retain some
- rights, but I don't know of any. He recently lost the rights to
- Rock-a-Doodle in a court case. I remember reading (in Variety or
- some newspaper) that the court dispute with Goldcrest Films centered
- on budget overruns.
