The Thief and the Cobbler - as a must-see, it surely must be. Trailer
here; there's actually
a Kickstarter campaign afoot for the film, and even
a Facebook page. Below is an image from Richard Williams incomplete film; that this could be the background for an animated feature is rather mind-boggling, eh?
