What if Don Bluth returned to Disney?


 * Note: this is based on What if Don Bluth stayed at Disney? and What if Richard Rich stayed at Disney?, but with different version.

After the financially unsuccessful release of the Don Bluth Entertainment-produced film Thumbelina on March 30, 1994, animators Don Bluth and Gary Goldman were hired by Bill Mechanic, then-chairman of 20th Century Fox, to create a brand new Fox animation studio. Mechanic and John Matoian, president of Fox Family Films, also brought in Stephen Brain (Executive VP at Silver Pictures) as Senior VP/General Manager to oversee the startup of the studio and run day-to-day operations of the division.

But in alternate timeline, what if Bluth instead returned to Disney back in 1994?

Changes

 * Fox Animation Studios wouldn't likely exist and that Sullivan Bluth Studios would've closed after Thumbelina.
 * Don Bluth also would've been a co-director of Fantasia 2000, Dinosaur, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Treasure Planet, Brother Bear, Winnie the Pooh, Brave (which would've been his only Pixar film), Frozen, and Onward (which would’ve been produced by Disney as a fully traditionally-animated 2019 film instead of the 2020 Pixar film in this AU).
 * A Troll in Central Park and The Pebble and the Penguin would've been produced and owned by Disney.
 * Gary Goldman would've been a co-director and co-writter of Zootopia, thus controversy wouldn't have happened.
 * Anastasia would be part of the Disney Renaissance era.
 * Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) and Treasure Planet (2002) would perform much better at the box office.
 * Anya from Anastasia and Kida from Atlantis: The Lost Empire would've been official members in the Disney Princess media franchise.
