Richard Williams' Opus


The Thief and the Cobbler
is an extraordinary orientalist fantasy by Richard Williams. The story behind this movie makes the movie even more interesting than it already is. Williams worked on the film for two decades. Some of its ideas and characters were stolen by Aladdin. Then The Thief and the Cobbler was shelved. The film was eventually released by Miramax in the early 1990s... with a new soundtrack. The version below was cobbled together by a Williams fan who tried to get back to Williams' original vision for the movie.
