A frightening example of how something you make can be warped and perverted and completely misunderstood if it falls into the wrong hands, usually because they have money and you don't.

Actually, several countries got The Princess and the Cobbler instead, which is basically this version minus the constant monologuing from Tak and the Thief. The songs are still bland, and Mathew Broderick is no Sean Connery, but at least they got the name of the city right. (It's the Golden City, not Bagdad!)

Tak's skin color changing made a lot more sense inn the original, and the re-cobbled cut. Since he never talked, Tak's development as a character was brought forth through those around him. Because of that, he became a more developed character as the story went on; and as that was happening his design became more complex to match the development. At the end, when Yum Yum and Tak get married is a fully developed character and looks like a human being. When that happens, he is finally able to speak. The original version was actually a very complex piece of artwork. I would have loved to see what it would have been like if it weren't bought by another company.

"I'm going to Disneyland." I seriously thought the Critic was saying that as a joke. GOD DAMN what a stupid joke. It doesn't even make sense!

What happened to this project is a tragedy. Disney ended up purchasing the rights, half-assed the rest of the movie, added songs (which was not the original vision of Richard Williams), and then sent it straight to Video--but not before stealing the storys premise and making a best seller out of Aladdin. I suggest watching the actual history behind it and not this annoying review. Then go watch The Thief and The Cobbler: Recobbled (an artistic attempt to re-create Williams original vision).

I love it everytime when Rob Walker as Vincent Price says "I know everything you're going to say" the way he says it makes him sound like a Bond villain.

See, the published version of this film forgets one thing that the recobbled edit brought back: *SILENCE IS GOLDEN* In the recobbled version, I found Tack to be more fun and enjoyable, with him being mute creating a Charlie Chaplin-esque feel, while giving him a voice made him transition into what felt like two different people: the Charlie Chaplin and the guy Matthew Broderick was trying to portray. And the scene with the head tilting between him and Princess Yumyum, their lack of any vocal expression made the moment more innocent and adorable, while this version just made them seem like they were trying too hard.

If anyone's curious, the Recobbled Cut is being actively developed, and is tiptoing towards a complete picture of Richard Williams' vision. The source files are, wherever possible, being scanned at 4K resolution, with an eye to being ready for a theatrical release if one ever becomes possible. It's some of the greatest animation ever made--you owe it to yourselves to check it out.

man it's been a long time since I've seen these videos. They've been extremely missed.

I JUST watched a restoration of Richard Williams' version of this movie, before it was bent over and thoroughly anally destroyed by whoever took over and kicked him off the project. Now, it does have scenes which are little more than pencil drawn pictures or CLEARLY undone animated bits, the quality changes from gorgeous to gore at the drop of a pin, but if you can look back the bits that Richard Williams' had not finished, or at least enjoy it with an open mind, then you'll see that The Thief and the Cobbler truly is an outstanding flick. They don't rely on voices to tell you everything that's going on at every single moment, there's pretty much NOTHING in here that had me rolling my eyes and going "Well, seen this before...", it's an insane and insanely original movie. Truly is horrible that THIS is what they did to it... Well of course there's a lot of it that was ripped from this and put into Aladdin which was an amazing movie as well, but considering the time at which it was SUPPOSED to be released, it's thoroughly original. That crap about the Princess wanting a new life, the ongoing inner thoughts of the Cobbler as well as the Thief, those aren't present. The movie relies more on visuals than on audio, and considering the quality of the visuals (during all the parts where the visuals are fully finished/coloured), the outcome is remarkable. Oh, and did I mention?... THERE'S BASICALLY NO SINGING WHATSOEVER! Sure the geni- I mean, ZigZag, rhymes all his lines, but it's really not as annoying as you might think. In fact I think there's a part or two in which he doesn't rhyme, unless I just didn't follow it correctly. God, that bit where the monologue of the Thief taking the balls referencing a 'rec room' and 'Disney land'? Just... forget EVERYTHING you seen in this vid, go download the RESTORED version, and be amazed how a gen incrusted pearl can be turned into a rotten peanut incrusted turd. Seriously, the original is worth a watch. This 'official release', however... is worth forgetting. Edit: 16:00 Yeah, I started noticing the change in skin colour at the end of the movie when he basically goes all-out Arabian. Quite a dark tan. Something I'd like to bring up however is a couple things in the movie that I didn't much like. You know those purple guys carrying around the chest? They're black in the movie, and with large reddish lips as I recall, basically blackface. Then for the Thief, you know, the snakey, smelly, fly-ridden, big-nosed character? The one who is practically taken from Nazi propaganda posters? The top of his had looks like a star of David, and it's shown a few times in the original. Then there's a scene where the Sultan yells that they're 'doomed' or will be 'destroyed' which brings the camera up high over the Sultan looking down at JUST the right moment when he's saying the word so you can see all the Star of David like marks on the floor. Seriously, it's just about PERFECTLY on cue with saying doomed/destroyed or whatever the word was. I'm think that mid 60s Richard Williams was something of a racist/anti-Semite... that, and/or America was just accepting of such things back then, which isn't an entirely ridiculous thing to think about. In fact, you know the movie Night of the Living Dead? The 1968 classic by George A Romero, the GOD of zombies, he who created the modern day decaying/slow/shammbling/bite-infecting/brainless masses of rotten flesh that can only be destroyed via the brain? A review was written about that movie, and it noted how strange it was that the main character was black. Generally he was referred to, not by his character's name, not by his actor's name, but simply as "the negro". So yeah, the 60s were a VERY different time. Political correctness CAN go too far, but a complete lack there of is even worse. Ah, did I mention that not only does the Princess/Cobbler never sing, but also, the Brigains never sing either? Nope! No pointless songs! I recall the witch's advice to also be not quite so bland, in fact just about the entire section in which she's on screen is a mixture of hilarious insanity and somewhat uncomfortable animation. The swinging saggy tits in particular. The rest is pretty awesome though. As for the huge war machine being taken down with a single tack, the process is FASCINATING! Oh yeah, and although the Thief is essentially hand made to be put into an anti-Jewish WWII era German cartoon, he DOES end up being a good guy at the end, so that's a plus. Ah, he mensions the Recobbled edition in the end, I really should finish watching videos before starting a comment, while commenting as I watch the vid. Anyways, he might not think it's fantastic, but I think it is. Very pleasant movie, even though some parts are, as mentioned/shown, unfinished.

After all, the Thief didn't have nearly as big a nose as King Nod or half the other characters.

You reviewed the wrong version of The Theif and the Cobbler. The version I watched did not feature the princess singing. Also, in my version neither the theif nor the cobbler are voiced (except for the cobbler, saying "I love you" at the end of the film). And for the record, I loved Zig Zag's rhymes.

Jaymes Lyon This film doesn't exactly take place in modern time. The middle east was not always as it is now. Actually it has always had a long interesting culture that has adapted from multiple different events in history, just not in the way that the rest of the world has adapted. For example if you look up Iran before the revolution a couple decades back it was actually a fairly westernized country.

I'm glad you pointed out the quality of animation in the original (Recobbled) cut. They were used as prime examples of good animation in my animation class.

Is that Rob Walker doing the Vincent Price impression? He's fantastic!

This is a very elegantly thought out piece of animation--the original, anyway. The practical use of filling Tack's mouth with tacks was not simply to give him a sudden way to defeat the enemy at the end (I don't even think that was part of the original script)--it was to give him an excuse for rarely if ever speaking in the film--his mouth is occupied. As obvious as this might sound, it's worth pointing out that this is to symbolize his status in the hierarchy of the story, a story which was originally meant to be told almost entirely in images, like the earliest animated films in history were. Tack's voice, his opinion, has no worth in this society because of his servitude. This is relieved of course, when he marries Yum Yum. But the people who "finished" the movie didn't get it. That's why he's got SO much monologue--it was to fill his non speaking appearances for the adults who are terrified children won't be able to follow a story that doesn't directly talk to them. Same for the thief. Same for why there needs to be singing. I really hope someone out there attempts to try something like this again--a play on the fairy tale genre that is more invented than copied, and doesn't care if it looks weird or not.

i think the cobbler looks so adorable~!

The reason Zigzag speaks all in rhymes is because in the original film he was one of the only ones to actually have dialogue, making it more whimsical.

4:12 LMAO I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING OMG

I did not know people hated this movie so much. I know that humor is incredibly subjective, but the thief is absolutely hilarious to me. In my mind, he, price, and the animation make this movie for me. I loved this movie as a kid, it was one of the ones that my whole family could agree to watch when we were bored. but, if it didn't synch with you, I guess it could only be annoying, I guess. amen to the songs, though

The songs kind of sucked. But Matthew Broderick has an amazing voice, so I'll let it slide. I didnt pay much attention to the lyrics, just his voice~

So sad. The film had so much promise, and some of the most I Inpiring animation I've ever seen.

I first saw this movie as the unfinished version. As an animation student, I really loved the scenery, and all the work that went into the characters and objects. I loved how Tac and the Thief didn't talk. Especially the Thief. He was far more hilarious just with his actions alone. Then I saw this version....after I bounced off the walls in screaming fits of rage, I went into a corner and sobbed. Yes people, this movie was fucked up that badly!

You know what, I don't even curr. I love this movie like hell, even for all its shitty mistakes.

In some other versions of the movie, Matthew Broderick doesn't narrate the movie, and the Thief is completely mute, there's no mention of an "Arabian Knight," and the Thief is completely mute.

"One eye is coming" That's what she said... ^^

The first time I watched this was when I had a really bad stomach bug and I couldn't keep anything down. So when I stopped gagging, I sat down to watch this (after the very first review I ever watched of his, Eight Crazy Nights) and the "I Heart Love" skit was the moment I realized I had found my favorite KZreadr.

It's been over 50 years now. How much do we want to see this finished?

The Unedited version without the Aladdin-style song breaks is a masterpiece and should be in the Criterion for its art style. The other ones...feels like it's trying too hard to be another Aladdin copy.

ONE EYE?! "...I prefer apocalyptic pupil..."

I grew up with the originally intended version he's talking about and this makes me happy

You know that this is going to be an enthralling movie when Matthew Broadrick keeps dropping innuendos in the opening exposition. XD

I just want to say that Tack's design is precious. I think the entire design of the film is brilliant; it is just so sad to me that Miramax destroyed Williams' work. After all his effort to bring this to life, they ruined it. I can't even imagine the pain knowing somebody destroyed a work that I poured everything I had into. Please, everybody watching this video, go check out the recobbled cut, it's absolutely stunning! Williams' passion deserves to be admired!

Nostaligia Critic's made up song is better than all the songs in here

I like that the animation doesn't have that disney 3d look, it gives it a good animated picture book feel.

God, that spinning head makes me laugh every time XD
