With Nostalgia coming and going in my head, there are some animations
that I consider lost treasures. A particular piece from Richard Williams has come into
my mind for several times. The Thief and the Cobbler. Even though this movie was delayed for several years and bastardized by Miramax in a horrible edited version where Tack actually talks, instead of the last line which no one knows who spoke it. Also the fact that Alddin was VERY similar to character designs, especially the genie with Vincent Prices's Zig Zag. I believe this movie should have been treated better IMO. Even though they say Arabian Knight? I will always call it "The Thief and the Cobbler."

Well technically speaking the film was never completed in the way Richard Williams wanted it, although the film did get released years before but it was heavily butchered and they turned it into an Aladdin rip-off by adding singing to it to fill the run time...
Check out the Recobbled Cut, this is the closet we're ever going to get to how the film should have been and it's really good.
