shamanicshayminPersistence of Vision, a documentary about Richard Williams' quest to make The Thief and the Cobbler
Striving to make the greatest animated film of all time, visionary animator Richard Williams ('Who Framed Roger Rabbit') toiled for more than a quarter century on his masterpiece - only to have it torn from his hands. Filmmaker Kevin Schreck has woven together mind-blowing animation, rare archival footage, and exclusive interviews with key animators and artists who worked with Williams on his ill-fated magnum opus to bring this legendary story to the screen. A tale of creative genius gone horribly awry, PERSISTENCE OF VISION is the untold story of the greatest animated film never made.
I don't care if "Thief and the Cobbler" had weak plot/characterization/dragged too much/etc. There's some things I do like about it and I'd be lying if I said I didn't believe it was historically important to the field of animation. I am SO paying to see this when it comes out.
Me, having feels about 2D animation? Naaaaaaaaah.
