It might not be as good a short film as The Small One (which doesn't have its own RT page, sadly) and does have a bit of a "work-in-progress" feel to it that was resolved by the time The Secret of NIMH came out, Banjo the Woodpile Cat's good animation, voice acting and music make it a decent television special that showed that Don Bluth could make his own animated works without Disney's help following a decade of feeling disillusioned with the company's direction in the wake of Walt's death. The story's so-so but I think Banjo is still directed with enough charm and sincerity to provide a good-enough beginning for Bluth's first non-Disney project before making one of the greatest animated films of all time in the form of the aforementioned Secret of NIMH.

This short film demonstrates the moral to always stick to obedience and home. Running away may seem satisfying at first, but slowly it becomes the worst thing ever done. That's what so incredible about this short flick by Don Bluth.

Don Bluth's first official film without Disney. The animation is very smooth and has Don Bluth's distinct stylized characters.
