connerissorad The re-cobbled cut holds a lot more magic to it, and my rating is more for that edit than this one.

sdavmor This is the only version to get of "The Thief And The Cobbler" if you want to see something close to Richard Williams' vision for the story. You'll have to do some legwork online, download it, and then burn it. Because that's the only way to acquire it. It's gone through several revisions over the years. There is a Mk 3 edit out now, and one day a Mk 4, etc., as Garrett Gilchrist finds better versions of footage and/or continues his laborious work of carefully fixing footage. If you have seen and enjoyed any of the other versions getting hold of a copy of the "recobbled" Mk 3 DVD will be well worth your while. One day a properly restored/completed version may come into existence (don't hold your breath) but for now this will have to do. Starting point for your search should be the word "Fanedit".

Wayne Talbot (wadetalon) I am one of the privileged view to have seen the original version of this movie . I studied animation in college and there was a copy of this movie uncut on video in the colleges animation library. It is a masterpiece of film. I can only imagine the amount of work that went into this film and to think Disney bastardised it and made Aladdin.Im not surprised at this though Disney have done this with many a movie in the past. Princess Mononoke being prime example they stopped this from being released for a very long time. John Lassiter is to thank for GIbli studios now having the ability to release their own movies in the states without having to rely on the thieving gits that are Disney.

Ryan Miller And Disney are terrible for doing what they did to this movie. 25 years of heart and soul poured into a film only to have over half the original animation cut out of this poor excuse for a film and ALL original artwork for this film was destroyed by Disney, probably because they stole the character design of ZigZag for Aladdin's Jafar. There is a "recobbled" cut of this in production which is keeping all the original animation attempting to restore what this film really should have been. Look for it this year, and then we can say goodbye to this unjustified, washed out Disney disaster. And Richard Williams can finally see his work hit the screens the way it was supposed to be seen.
