John Loter chimes in with the latest on Don Hahn's planned Thief restoration ... news from Comic Con ....

Don Hahn and daughter stopped by our
booth- met them briefly last year, but this time I talked to him a bit
more and said "Do you mind if I ask you about a rumor- The Thief and
The Cobbler restoration?"

I can't remember exactly what he said but it sounded like a "someday"
kind of project. He did tell me [and was clearly excited about it] that
they got ALL the artwork from Miramax and it is sitting "along with
Snow White and Pinnocchio" [in Disney's Animation Research Library,
where all art is stored]. "Beautiful Errol LeCain backgrounds", etc.

SO.... I asked him if he was aware of you and your efforts on a fan
restoration and he was NOT. I said you did an amazing job and that he
needs to see it. He joked that maybe he should hire you and I said YES!
