INSIDE HOLLYWOOD Ex-Disney whiz has own philosophy animated films done in the classical style deal with classic stories, ones that are timeless and apply to everyone. Bluth, whose future was assured as head of Disney's animation department until he defected in 1979 over creative differences, says there is something about animation that makes audiences feel they have more of a sayso about it, more of a stake in it.

"Possibly," he says, "because people first become acquainted with animation as children. As we grow up, we adults learn to take a lot of disappointments. But we all bring the child in us to animated movies." He continues, "There is a point at which audiences give themselves over to an animated film, and get engrossed in the story. We call that the willing suspension of disbelief. When we filmmakers take on that task, we' have to be very sure that audiences don't feel cheated at the end of our story.

"Movie Producers have' a big responsibUity to the public," he says. "Movies can shape lives and inspire dreams that can solve tomorrow's world problems, so we do have that to consider." Performing in "Aladdin" are, 1-r, Chuck Turman, Terry Case, RonSegvich, and Audrey Bussert 'Aladdin' plays at the Art Center The Secret of NIMH set for July Audiences feel differently about animated feature films than about live action ones, claims Don Bluth, producer of "The Secret of NIMH," an action fantasy in classical animation set to be released in July by MGMUnited Artists Distribution and Marketing. The Aurora presentation is Bluth's first animated film since he and partners Gary Goldman and John Pomeroy left Disney Studio with a handful of animators nearly three years ago. The story of a widowed mouse who seeks the help of a mysterious, advanced civilization of rats to save her family, features the vocal talents of Elizabeth Hartman, Dom DeLuise, Peter Strauss, Derek Jacobi, John Carradine, Hermione Baddeley, Arthur Malet and Paul Shenar. "Audiences react more strongly to animation than to live action films," Bluth says.

"For one reason, they feel less threat in identifying themselves and people they know with characters than they feel with human actors." Another reason, he says, is probably that Swit to star HOLLYWOOD (AP) Sam Waterson and Loretta Swit will star in the CBS movie "Games Mother Never Taught Me."

(AP) Ron "Chancey doesn't mind being the man in the background who listened to 1,000 songs before picking "Elvira" for the Oak Ridge Boys to record. Chancey, the group's producer, heard "Elvira" and urged the dynamic quartet to record it. They did, and the song sold 2 million copies and won a Grammy Award and other accolades. The 46-year-old Chancey says modestly that he's content to remain quietly in Nashville and produce more hit records, while the pop-country group enjoys the laurels of stardom. "They pay the price for that (recognition)," the sandy-haired executive said in an interview in his second story Music Row office.

"I go out with them on tour once every six weeks or so and it makes you appreciate what they go through." As a record producer, he picks the material to be recorded, hires the backup musicians, works out the basic arrangements for the songs and then supervises the recording session. Chancey, who also was the producer for the group's current hit "So Fine," listens to "a couple thousand songs" to find the 10 or so for each album, and the two or CREDIT TERMS AVAILABLE HARDWICK GOLDEN BEAR" SUPER SPECIAL "comes along once in a lifetime."

In his quest for hits, Chancey says he looks for songs with strong chorus, four-part harmony, a pop-country flavor and something the general public can sing.
