Notorious movies, notorious histories

[Pacman000]

The Thief and The Cobbler has a history, notably that it came out the same year as Aladdin, but actually TTaTC was drawn thirty figgen years earlier than Alad.

Understatement of the year.  They began working on it in the 60's.  Richard Williams worked slooooowly trying to get everything just right.  After he won an Oscar someone gave him money to finish it.  He still took his time, so they took it away from him, re-edited it, added songs, finished it, and released it.  Oh, and there were two different versions (the other was called The Princess And the Cobbler.)  It's still a good movie, with some of the best hand-drawn animation made by anyone after the 40's.

Edit: I forgot to mention that Vincent Price is on of the voices.

There's a much better verison of this film out there now.  A couple of people got together, got lots of verisons of this film and still boards of the film, but them together, and made the original film that director intended this film to be.  It's the Recobbled Cut and it is definitely worth a look.
