Damn. Really good stuff, but weirdly, the version I remember of this film is my own cut, the one I did six years ago. I couldn't remember what was and wasn't actually in the workprint, so I was surprised by a couple of things.
Partway through the film in the workprint the sound is really screwed up and there are a number of weird breaks in the videotape, as it's stopped and restarted -- at different points in my old copy, but all around this same point -- as the Thief is trying to steal the Buddha ruby before they meet the witch.
So, the workprint becomes only semi-useable at this point, and I used a lot of Princess and the Cobbler material instead - I continued to use a lot of Princess material throughout the rest of the film.
So, seeing the actual workprint again - I was like, well, I'm fixing that. =) I'm not using that. Cos I didn't 6 years ago, y'know ...
I gotta take back one thing I said at one point - I was talking to Chris Sobieniak defending my inclusion of the final Tack and Zigzag fight. It's not in the workprint, and seems added by Calvert, but I included it in my cut six years ago and I'll include it again, because I'm quite certain that it was at least pencilled by the Williams studio.
I said I could prove this because in Zigzag's death scene in the workprint, he's all stitched up, an apparent remnant of the fight with Tack.
Well, eating my words. I was remembering my own cut - in the workprint, this scene only appears in storyboards, and Zigzag isn't stitched up! Ouch.
But I can prove in another way that Williams' studio did this - Zigzag IS stitched up in the Calvert cut, and it's ANIMATED ON ONES, clearly by Williams. Also, much of the fight with Tack is ANIMATED ON ONES - check the shot of Tack throwing Zigzag over his head. Calvert almost never animated a thing on ones - the character designs are different in this scene, but that might be intentional. Perhaps Williams work inked by Calvert's hacks. Who knows, but the animation is just a liiiittle too good.
And it fills out the end of the movie nicely, worth watching.
Also, a certain other source said that Williams did it. =)
