Neat that you're doing a little 8-10 minute intro. I had always intended to do a big documentary about the history of the film, from Nasrudin to Aladdin, called "The Animator Who Never Gave Up." I haven't had the time or hard drive space, since I'm editing this myself! By the time I'm finally done I'll probably not go through with the work to do the doc.

What would be great would be a comparison between The Thief and Aladdin. "Cut off your hand if they don't like your face" with the Thief's hands getting chopped off, Zigzag asking for the hand of Yumyum intercut with Jafar doing the same. Abu's eyes doing what The Thief's do ...

Titles ...

I actually originally reproduced the original ending blah "Copyright Richard Williams Animation Ltd." at the end. Except it looked awful, so I took it out.

I've never seen a logo for Richard Williams Studio, animated or otherwise. I figured it'd be enough to call it a Richard Williams Film rather than fake something. I suppose there's material there to work from. It'd probably be Thief related. But it's not something that I see a big need for.

I can send you the actual JPEGs from my credits to blow up or whatever. Stanch needs to be credited just as "Stanch."

>>I'll do the same thing with I Drew Roger Rabbit.

Now that is good news indeed. =)

I didn't really spot much (any) of the same making of footage from I Drew Roger Rabbit on the new DVD documentary, but there are certainly some film clips you can restore (and things which are also in The Thief Who Never Gave Up).

You can also turn the pencil tests black and white so they're not ugly orange.

I've enclosed two different transfers of I Drew Roger Rabbit on your discs. One is from an NTSC source. The better one is converted from a PAL source, but has dropouts in it, and ghosting all over the image. Also, I had to speed up the audio slightly to match the picture, and it lost a lot of quality along the way (strangely). I can send you the original PAL AC3 audio for that.
