I am the president of my school’s animation club, and this week we watched TTATC: Recobbled Cut. Even with its rough and unfinished patches, the movie blew my mind. It really makes me sad to think that we may never see a truly finished version of this lost masterpiece, but even if this masturful fanedit is the closest we’ll ever get to seeing Richard Williams’ original vision, it’s still an amazing piece of film that every animation fan and student needs to see. It’s really sad that Williams has disowned this movie, because it truly is a masterpiece even in its rough state right up there with the likes of Snow White and The Secret of NIMH… Possibly even moreso.
I really do hope that with Disney being under new management, John Lassiter in all of his awesomeness will revisit Roy Disney’s plans to restore and finish this movie. The Thief and the Cobbler was concieved as a labor of love, and it will take a labor of love to see it finished. The Recobbled cut is very much a labor of love for a film that never got a fair chance at success, and I am glad that I can now have and share this lost classic with my friends and family even if it is never truly finished.
