The Thief and the Cobbler	comment	The Thief and the Cobbler (also The Princess and the Cobbler, or Arabian Knight, depending on which version you're watching) is a legendary attempt by master animator Richard Williams to create the greatest animated feature ever. At 31 years, it holds the record for the longest production time for an animated motion picture— much of it spent in Development Hell. Williams envisioned the film as his personal masterpiece (in the traditional sense, as in "the piece you create when you've mastered your medium") and wanted to fill the entire movie with every technique and trick he had learned from the top animators of The Golden Age of Animation, effectively putting on display the ultimate capabilities of hand-drawn animation. It is considered a lost treasure of animation, with many critics calling it the greatest unfinished film of all time.Here's the plot: in a City of Gold in a sun-scorched desertnote although in one of the versions, they decided to put it in Baghdad., there are three golden balls atop "the highest minaret". Prophecy has it that if the balls are stolen, the Golden City will fall, unless it is saved by the simplest of souls. The balls are stolen by a sneaky, nameless thief, just as a vicious race of one-eyed men (simply known as the One-Eyes) are about to attack the city. The city's ruler, King Nod (yes, that is his actual name) sends his daughter, Princess YumYum (yes, that is also her actual name), out to find a way to stop the encroaching army, and she takes along with her the hero of our story, a meek cobbler named Tack (who has begun to fall in love with the Princess and she with him) as a guide. They are followed along the way by the Thief, who's only in it for the loot.The movie began in 1964 as a pet project which Williams and a few colleagues worked on in between profession gigs at his studio in London and was in and out of various stages of production for many years. Initially a more dialogue-heavy and politically-oriented narrative centered on the Muslim folk character Mullah Nasrudin (based on a series of Nasrudin retellings authored by Idries Shah and illustrated by Williams), over three hours of footage was completed before financial conflicts with the Shah family led them to withdraw permission to utilize their version of the Nasrudin character in 1972. Williams responded by revamping the film's plot (retaining numerous non-Nasrudin characters from the original pitch, such as a mute thief and a malevolent vizier voiced by Vincent Price) to center on Tack, a silent cobbler, and the aforementioned thief, effectively creating the basic plot skeleton from which Williams would work for the following two decades. Simultaneously, Williams' own advancing prowess as an animator (and corresponding artistic ambitions) rendered his revamped pitch noticeably more visually-oriented and lushly-animated than its previous incarnation. As production continued on-and-off throughout the '70s and '80s, investors came and went, initially awed by the stunning, god-tier animation that had been completed thus far, but turned off by Williams' obsessive attention which it required, often resulting in missed deadlines and overshot budgets. Williams, meanwhile, hired and fired animators at will, eventually ending up with a solid team which included longtime Warner animator Ken Harris (famed for his three-decade collaboration with Chuck Jones), Disney legend Art Babbitt, wandering master animator Emery Hawkins and a young Eric Goldberg, most of whom would follow him to his directorial debut, Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure, which Williams took on to help fund Thief. After winning an Oscar for Who Framed Roger Rabbit in 1989, WB offered Williams the money necessary to finally complete Thief, under the proviso that it be ready by a specific date under the budget provided, finally commencing full, continuous production after a quarter of a century.Despite both finalizing the film's character designs and completing a substantial volume of footage during this period, Williams never oversaw the film's completion: he wound up missing the production deadline with the film fifteen minutes short of completion and, as per contractual obligations, was fired from his own pet project 28 years after he had begun it. The project was then farmed out to an overseas company (supervised by Fred Calvert) to finish the last fifteen minutes, prompted by competition with a notoriously similar upcoming film, and was severely edited upon completion, turning it from a quiet, faintly-eerie Epic Movie into a Lighter and Softer and more dialogue-heavy Disney-esque musical (some overseas-edited editions of the film even advertise it as the Mockbuster version of Aladdin). It was released to theaters in Australia and South Africa in 1993 as The Princess and the Cobbler. Two years later, another version of the Calvert cut was given a small, ultimately unsuccessful theatrical release by Miramax under the title Arabian Knight in 1995, which gave Tack and the Thief new voice actors (or, in the Thief's case, internal monologuing) respectively provided by Matthew Broderick and Jonathan Winters.A few years after the release of the Miramax cut, Williams' personal workprint of the film, which had been smuggled out by some employees after he had been fired, appeared on the internet under the name The Recobbled Cut under the supervision of Garrett Gilchrist. The cut contains virtually all of the completed animation, as well as pencil tests and storyboards, to create as close an approximation as possible to Williams' original vision, allowing it to finally be seen by the masses. It has developed an extremely strong cult following among animators and animation fans, and has topped many "Greatest Unfinished Films" lists, as a veritable holy grail in the medium of hand-drawn animation. It has since been passed around all over the internet, sometimes in drastically different forms.For obvious reasons, Richard was reluctant to talk about the film for many years, refusing to take part in the "Recobbled" version when offered. He would spend the next few years on a remote island in Canada with his wife as he wrote The Animator's Survival Kit. During his famed lecture tour, he went out of his way to let people know that he did not want to talk about Thief, only to move past it. Williams eventually warmed up to it again, screening his own "recobbled" version, subtitled A Moment In Time, along with an art exhibit of his work in LA in 2013, twenty years after his firing from the project. He has gone on record to say that this is the absolute closest the film will ever get to being finished, as all of the original artwork and film materials for the film are scattered and lost, and it would be unfeasible to track all of it down or recreate it, not to mention the legal kerfuffle he'd need to go through to get the completed footage back from the studio....That said, the Recobbled Cut of the film is continually being updated, having gone through four iterations with a fifth underway, extant on YouTube as of 2023.Now satisfied with Thief, Williams moved on to another attempt at a personal masterpiece, an anthology film with the working title "I Hope I Live To Finish This", the first part of which, Prologue, debuted in 2015. Unfortunately, since he succumbed to cancer on August 17, 2019, itâ€™s likely we wonâ€™t see any more of that project.A documentary film about Richard's long troubled production of the film, called Persistence of Vision, was released in October 2012 to much positive reception.

The Thief and the Cobbler / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: Some have accused Disney's Aladdin of being a rip-off of this film. While the plots are dissimilar, the animators of Aladdin have admitted to watching clips of the film and basing their own character designs, such as the Genie and Jafar, off the ones in this film. Which later led to critics thinking this film, which was released later, was ripping it off. Of course, the Miramax cut did in fact rip off certain elements of Aladdin during the process of Disneyfying it.

The Thief and the Cobbler / int_7ea2a915	comment	Animation Bump: Happens whenever the film switches from Calvert animation back to Williams animation. Williams wanted to push the limitations of what hand-drawn animation could do. Calvert, who took over after Williams was fired for being too expensive, did everything as cheaply and quickly as possible. The differences are very sudden and jarring. While the animation compiled together in the Recobbled Cut is generally of excellent quality. The scenes animated by Richard Williams himself, in addition to the War Machine climax (with impeccably drawn, detailed moving polygons drawn by hand in an era before CGI) noticeably feature the most fluent and three-dimensional animation in the entire film, which is impressive considering the animation quality of several scenes not animated by Williams. The scenes animated by veteran animators Ken Harris and Art Babbitt also qualify.

The Thief and the Cobbler / int_863fa679	type	What Happened to the Mouse?
The Thief and the Cobbler / int_863fa679	comment	What Happened to the Mouse?: In the re-cuts of the movie: While Princess YumYum is bathing, the Thief steals two of her backscratchers. In the re-cuts, nothing comes of it. In the original version, the Thief uses them to escape having his hands cut off. While Tack and YumYum are consulting the Witch, the Thief is trying to get a giant ruby on a tower by flying with palm frond wings. He ends up crashing into the Witch. But since the re-cuts eliminate nearly all the footage of the Witch, the Thief's fate is left literally up in the air. Played straight in the edits, but averted in the original cut. Tack is seen feeding a mouse while he's imprisoned, and we later see that he's sneaked the mouse out with him when he escaped (these shots are present in all versions of the film). While it's never seen again in the edits, in the original cut he removes the mouse from his pocket and gives it to YumYum before he goes to face One-Eye's army. The Recobbled Cut, however, does play the trope in one case: In the original storyboards, the mouse shows up in the final kissing scene. Calvert removed the mouse, and the Recobbled Cut uses that animation. The edited versions of this movie contain references to Arabian Knights...for absolutely no reason since the main character actually becomes a prince. Also YumYum's song about wanting to be something more than a princess goes absolutely nowhere. In the Miramax version of the film, Mighty One-Eye's fate is never shown. In the Miramax version, the last we see of Zigzag's henchmen is an odd scene where he ambiguously threatens them, and it looks almost as if he stabs them in the face the second after the camera fades out. In the workprint, Fred Calvert and Recobbled Cuts, they appear briefly to show shock and remorse for what's happened, and it's clear that Zigzag was simply scaring them in the earlier scene.

The Miramax cut added many more voices, including an inner monologue for the Thief (done by Jonathan Winters). In addition, many characters, such as YumYum, have significantly more dialog added in both cuts. The original intention by Williams was to create several purely physical characters for the animators to have total freedom with, and Calvert and Miramax added dialog.

He put together a workprint in 1992 before he was forced to leave. The Recobbled Cut is a restoration of this, with only some cosmetic changes (adding more music and replacing storyboards with Calvert's animation where it didn't differ too much). The Princess and the Cobbler in 1993 by Fred Calvert, which removed a bunch of scenes, added songs, a voice for Tack and a large amount of Off-Model animation. Arabian Knight in 1995 by Miramax, which removed even more scenes and added voiceovers for pretty much every scene; most notably Jonathan Winters as the Thief.

The Thief and the Cobbler / int_c55c31e2	comment	Non-Standard Character Design: One of the reasons that the film's animation is so highly regarded. No two characters are designed in exactly the same way, and every major character is rendered with a completely unique art style and style of movement. Tack's body is made up of simple geometric shapes and a monochromatic color scheme, with a completely round face and angular joints; the Thief has exaggerated facial features and a desaturated color scheme, and he scuttles about like an insect; King Nod and Princess YumYum have the most realistically proportioned bodies and naturalistic color schemes, and their bodies are rendered with soft curves; Zigzag is drawn with sharp angles and bold primary colors, he never moves in a straight line, and many of his mannerisms are distinctly bird-like; the leader of the One-Eyes has drastically simplified facial features that suggest a narrow emotional range, and he moves more like a machine than a human. You get the idea...

The Thief and the Cobbler / int_df582b0b	comment	Continuity Snarl: Because of the movie's 20-something-years-long production, some aspects of the story were gradually modified, and the Recobbled Cut does have contradicting scenes at one point. The early intent was for Zigzag to actually lust for Princess Yum-Yum, and he therefore still wants the One-Eyes to give her to him as payment for his treason. However, another scene reveals his Evil Plan to be to marry Yum-Yum as a way to become king (which means she'd be useless to him once the One-Eyes, thanks to his treason, had destroyed the Golden City). Apparently the only piece of rough animation Gilcrist could find for Yum-Yum in the tub was one that also features her twin sister who was removed early on. Luckily, since she doesn't actually do anything besides sit in her own tub in the background it can easily come off as a mirror.

The Thief and the Cobbler / int_e70c45f0	comment	All Animals Are Dogs: Either heavily downplayed or outright subverted by Phido the vulture. His name echoes a stereotypical dog name, and Zigzag refers to him (with irony) as "man's best friend," but there's nothing noticeably canine about his behavior.

He undergoes no notable character development or Hidden Depths, which makes his burst of heroism in the movie's final act all the more surprising by how unexpected it is.

The Thief and the Cobbler / int_eefce6c6	type	Rube Goldberg Hates Your Guts
The Thief and the Cobbler / int_eefce6c6	comment	Rube Goldberg Hates Your Guts: The Thief's attempts to steal the Gold Balls involve a great deal of being tossed around by gravity and a massive assortment of environmental hazards that make thing ever more difficult for him. The destruction of One-Eye's War Machine is the direct result of this. Tack fires a single tack, which ricochets dozens of times before hitting Zig-Zag's horse, throwing him off and causing his spear to cut the rope on a catapult, which then fires its shot into other catapults and seige weapons, causing a ludicrous chain reaction that ends up destroying the colossal War Machine and One-Eye's entire army.

The Thief (by Jonathan Winters) and Phido (by Eric Bogosian) in the Miramax version. Technically, Phido spoke in squawks provided by Donald Pleasence, and he was still dubbed in anyway.

But it seems to be ultimately averted, since they don't ever display any power on their own, and the news of an encroaching army seems to coincide with their disappearance by pure happenstance.
