I saw Richard Williams present The Thief at MOMA yesterday and I am still pretty floored. The man is a true master.

This man is revolutionary

[@steamboatwill3.367]

1:53 Im sure that guy was the model for ZigZag.

[@alexanderwilliams6596]

he was!

[@steamboatwill3.367]

@@alexanderwilliams6596 ) wow! Is it really you? Your father was my one of biggest insperations and his work really got me into animation.

[@marialuzsalmonruiz8258]

Uh no it isn't is just a plush of nasurdin for the film till 1973

[@steamboatwill3.367]

@@marialuzsalmonruiz8258 ) I meant the guy (Omar) holding it.

[@VinnieRattolle]

Wholeheartedly agree with Slap Stick - the American animation had character which Williams robbed it of in the do-over. Of course, it's out of context without seeing the completed film, but still...

[@yelloweyeball]

The bizzare thing is that I feel like if the Richard Williams of the 80s directed the scene, he might have wanted it done in a completely different way. 60s Richard Williams worked in a more stylized manner, similar to UPA where he used to work. But the Roger Rabbit era Williams might have liked the first animation take better.

[@steamboatwill3.367]

5:23 That film isn't in TheThiefArchive.

[@AcevedoVideoStore]

When it's necessary to be faster, then a elevator. 4:35

[@DouEditz]

wow

[@paolofabbella7954]

5:23 Che film e stato utilizzato in questa sequenza?

[@qigong1001]

I thought the first animation was way better than the second one Jackson did.

[@ShaneFlemingFilms]

yes, the animation might be good, but it doesn't fit into the mood of the film.
