Don bluth, who most may know for The Secret of Nimh, worked at Disney until he left in dissatisfaction in 1979.

But what if he stayed? What would be the consequences for the company? Would their Renaissance start sooner? What?
 
He left for a host of reasons relating to management, power, and various competing factions—it’s actually pretty hard to keep him there. You could drastically change Disney itself or have someone buy them.

So the question is really: how much of Disney would you have to change to keep Don Bluth?
 
Hard to say what would have actually happened, but as for how it could have happened: make him appreciate CGI a little bit more, I guess?
