Animations from Richard Williams’ almost-finished masterpiece
The Thief and the Cobbler (Watch the movie here)

Unofficially restored by Garrett Gilchrist

This animation was done using 100% hand-drawn, hand-coloured cels. Frame by frame. Part by part. ALL BY HAND. I REPEAT THERE IS ZERO CG NO COMPUTER GRAPHICS THIS IS ABSOLUTELY SOME OF THE GREATEST HAND-DONE 2D ANIMATION THAT WILL EVER GRACE THIS EARTH

For me, they fall like playing cards, and I control the decks.”
