It wasn’t, but it looks like it led to this. I doubt we would see this happening without that animated pitch.

Looks like this may have actually paid off. Netflix was one of the studios Bluth pitched the animated film to, so it likely started the discussion.

And Ryan Reynolds as a live action Dirk the Daring could be pretty perfect.

My final word on this - it actually hit 550k. I'm astounded. 550k for a pitch.

With 9 hours to go, almost 479k raised. Their original goal of 550k doesn't seem so outlandish now.

I have to admit they added much better rewards this time; I love the animation cels.

Seems to be doing pretty good so far - almost 100k in 24 hours.

Well, that makes sense. Okay then! Money for Indie Gogo it is.

Hand-drawn animation is incredibly expensive, not to mention there's hardly any cheap overseas animators anymore. 1 minute of animation can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars so 550K for 10 minutes like they were asking was actually economical.

I backed this but it fell short. However, Bluth and Goldman are starting a new campaign at IndieGoGo soon.

Kickstarter for a PITCH!? What the hell?

That said, I adore ANASTASIA and TITAN AE... but a pitch!? Why do they need half a million dollars for a pitch!? That seems incredibly high for the possibility of a movie.

Kind of odd to do a Kickstarter to fund just a pitch, but I do love Dragon's Lair and Don Bluth animation.
