Many many thanks to Jonathan "Squidy" Sloman, who has sent in a good copy of the 1989 Channel 4/Thames documentary "I Drew Roger Rabbit." My previous copy of this was crap, so it's very nice to see a releasable version ... the quality is good rather than great - it has "ghosting" on the image and is soft like an old PAL VHS, but it's certainly good enough to put out there. =) This is a great look into the making of The Thief (and of course Roger Rabbit), a fine companion to the 1980 Thames documentary "Richard Williams and the Thief Who Never Gave Up." (Interestingly, it uses the exact same clips from the film as that older documentary.) Sir Anthony Quayle is interviewed. The third documentary we have is "Animating Art," about Art Babbit - I have a bad SLP copy of this that Eddie Bowers gave me years ago - I'm hoping that he's going to send me his original copy of this, and quick. All three documentaries share some of the same footage.

A certain forum member here is also sending me some rare pencil test footage from the film - I don't know what it is, and I'm excited to see it.
