The Thief and The Cobbler

You should all watch this animation, especially if your a fan of Richard Williams, lead animator on Who Framed Roger Rabbit and also he wrote that book, you know the one I mean

You can watch the whole movie in parts on youtube

One thing you should know before watching it is that this film was financed by him, money from his pocket, and it never actually got finished :P

Eventually he decided in 1990 or something, after 20 years of making it, that he would get financial backing, but he failed to finish on time so the distribution company got rid of him and finished it in their own way, thats not right ... :S

But in 2006 a fan cut a version of the film in the way more or less that Williams had invisioned it, so sometimes theres just pencil tests, or even storyboards, but its still awesome! The fan version is called The Theif and the cobbler recobbled
