The movie based on the arcade classic “Dragon’s Lair” is dropping its Kickstarter campaign and moving to a different crowdfunding site, Indiegogo.

Animation veterans Don Bluth and Gary Goldman, creators of “Dragon’s Lair” and movies including “The Land Before Time,” “All Dogs Go To Heaven,” “An American Tail,” and “The Secret of NIMH,” announced the move to Indiegogo, which launched today.

The original Kickstarter, launched in October, asked for $550,000, which would be used to make a 10-minute teaser to pitch the movie to studios. At the time of cancellation, nearly 3,000 had raised more than $240,000. The new campaign looks to raise $250,000 to fund the sizzle reel.

“Dragon’s Lair” was released in arcades in the 1980s and became beloved–and despised–for its full-motion cartoon animation and difficult gameplay.

Both Bluth and Goldman said last month that out of all the animated films they have made, it’s “Dragon’s Lair” for which their fans know them best.

so what you guys think? Would you support this? Go see it if it was actually made? I loved me some Don Bluth growing up would love to see a crack taken at this. So if it was made do you think it would stand a chance in this CGI animated world we all live in? Is DOn Bluth aspirations for this even feasible? It is trying to raise money and just moved to another site to raise funds....

Don Bluth has always stood out to me compared to other animated movies. The man to me has never shunned away from dark (and I mean really dark) themes and elements in his movies. Yes, there have been plenty of those in other children's movies but his work truly shows it.

I loved 'Dragon's Lair' and the original 'The Land Before Time' is still one of my favorite movies of all time. Though I am curious to know why he was attempting a Kickstarter in the first place. In a time where we are growing in an all CG movie market, I always felt that if there was one man who could show interest in 2D animated films again, it would definetly be him. Though we don't whether this new film would be 2D or 3D but I can't imagine him doing the latter.

Hm, Dragon's Lair, eh? Sucks that didn't come out oh say...30 years ago. lol That aside, should be interesting if it's true. Bluth was interesting in general. Bluth movies were like "anti-Disney". I still love An American Tail....and that darn cat robot thing those mice built is still creepy to me. lol

I've been a fan of Bluth since i saw Secret of NIMH on video when i was 3 and i even saw American Tail at the movies 4 times when i was 5. And enjoyed the DL games since playing them at the arcade as a kid which was hard at first then i understood what to do in the games.
