A fascinating look into what could have been. I wrote a full review on Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/3OY7AJ
But basically, this edit is an incredible accomplishment, rivaling the Star Wars Despecialized Editions as being one of the most important fan edits to ever exist. Anyone studying animation or is interested in it should watch this film, and the documentary based on it called "Persistence of Vision".
Probably nothing could have fixed how incoherent the story is, even Richard Williams himself couldn't in time, but thankfully it remains an incredible piece of art that challenges conventions, especially when it comes to animation.
