Variation #19: Amy Zuch

Text:

The Thief and the Cobbler was conceived by Canadian animator Richard Williams, who worked 26 years on the project.

“[Williams is] an incredible animator, though. Incredible. One of the biggest problems we had was trying our desperate best, where we had brand new footage, to come up to the level of quality that he had set.”

—Fred Calvert

The first time that the Miramax version of the film appeared on DVD, was in Canada in 2001 as a giveaway promotion in packages of Kellogg’s Froot Loops cereal.
