The Thief and the Cobbler: Recobbled Cut (5/11)

[AeronPeryton]

No feeling quite like having your balls swinging freely. XD

[jrepra]

she just sack whacked that bird. ouch.

[xxxanimepopxxx]

GET AWAY BIRD OF E-VIL.

[Nightman221k]

Get back BIRD of Ev-ILL!!!! D:<

[boomkrakatoa]

omg "The balls are gone!!!" reminds me of like the third or fourth chapter of Dragonball.

[Nuckelavee20]

holy shit, the thief is a missing link, that's why he has opposable big toes

[Josh366lol]

While the Thief was grabbing the golden balls off the minaret, how come you didn't show the whole thing, it was in the workprint, the Ruining the Thief, in the final Calvert cut, and in the credits in the Recobbled Cut?

[ftahi49]

Vincent Price is an EXCELLENT voice actor. The Princess is meh, she's kind of annoying, and her voice is super irritating. I love Tack though, he's very sweet and endearing.

[NeverDoubt1]

@ftahi49 I actually like this Princess, she's much more liberated than the Disney princess ever were.

[ftahi49]

@NeverDoubt1

There's a distinct difference between liberated and irritating. And the only disney princess to find that perfect balance was Jasmine. She was a great character. Princess Yum-Yum is just annoying.

[NeverDoubt1]

@ftahi49 ::shrugs:: Agree to disagree. Though I do agree that Jasmine was better than most. :)

[TheOsborneCox]

WOW. The faux-hand cutting scene would NEVER be allowed in any modern day animated film. This truly was Williams' masterpiece, both in animation and in story.

[Cl00lessGrl]

the thief was always my favorite character

[balltongue666]

I like him. He has balls. I like balls.

[ContinuityGlueVideos]

♪THIIIIIIEEEEEF! THIIIIIIIEEEEEEF!♪

I love how they just stood there watching him from a few moments before apprehending him.

I also like how the seemingly inconsequential scene of him stealing the backscratchers became important in his escape.

[CidSilverWing]

@ContinuityGlueVideos Chekhov's Guns, or Backscratchers, in this case

[oedipusrexsophocles]

@CidSilverWing I like that. Chekhov's Backscratchers. :)

[hymnofashes]

@ContinuityGlueVideos That should be a ringtone for SEC prosecutors.

[Gekkou25]

Sauron, I prefer apocalyptic pupil,

[Nerdicaful]

Omg, the thief kills me. "I gotta empty out my robe to make room for more shiny shit." He's loads of fun.

[LiimLsan]

'One-eye is coming!'

HOLY SHIT he actually slipped that into the film.

This IS the guy who supervised the pirate captain with the boner moustache and Jessica Rabbit.

KAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAPFHAHAA!

[Alexjr1543]

I don't know whether I like the sound of the golden balls bouncing or the guards chanting better.

[themonger42]

1:45

my god i never get tired of that scene.

love the Theif

[toocheaptobuyatripod]

Golden olives on a toothpick. That's real secure :/

[paisley713]

The thief is a mother fucking ninja!

[doseiaisha]

2:53 HOLY GENITALIA!!! O_O

[SilverGummiShark]

@doseiaisha

Yeeeeah....just a bit...questionable...

[NvrTryNvrFail]

DEM BALLZ.

[kidlessman]

Whoa! Cobbler's Tack represent his Mouth!!

[shadowxrogue]

My boyfriend and I cannot watch this movie without laughing! This whole film is full of wonderfully funny innuendoes XD

[jdsagashi]

@shadowxrogue Like how I can no longer say certain words without laughing.

[serentochan]

So apparently if you look closely at the Thief's flies they have little heads on them that look like him...does that mean they're his children or something? Dude has a family to support!

[Razshagaul]

King: The BAAAAALLs are GOOOONE! My kingdom will come to destruction and death!

Me: That's what you get for sleeping all the freaking time you lazy idiot!

[lu4y4pants]

The balls are gone! The town is eunuch!

[kyrtuck]

What a good use for those back scratchers!

[LiimLsan]

MY O-One-e-Eye is c-c-coming. Right in your MOM.

[Imagigirl]

They abandoned the cool scene of Thief swinging on the chain with the ball in favor of some bland musical numbers? The fiends!

[Windragonwolf]

...I'm sorry...but does Zigzag look anything like Aladin's genie?

[Elriaen]

@Windragonwolf I this Disney took hell of a lot of inspiration from this film for alladin. The evil viser trying to marry the spunky princess while a supposedly lowborn guy saves the day.

[WikiSorcerer]

@Windragonwolf Blue skin? Black beard? Magic Talent? Six fingers on each hand (uncommon)? ... meh... a little bit.

[FreakifiedChildhood]

how much stuff does that theif NEED?! XD 7:25

[cattieloves]

Zigzag is such a buttmunch.

[XShadOBabeX]

Man that thief is frikkin' HILARIOUS!! XD

[ZillaRocks]

2:59 THAT DOES NOT LOOK RIGHT

[jguilherme78]

2:21 DAT ASS

[WillAFilms]

Is it me or does anyone find this scene a little dirty, I mean that there are a lot of ball jokes in this, but this scene in 2:58-3:01 just takes the cheese cake which made me fall out of my chair laughing!

[wafflekitty11]

@WillAFilms You just wait, in the next part zigzag says 'I'M TAKING MY BALLS AND LEAVING!!'

[rikumyloveforeva]

oh how i wish i was that tack...

[Humbledingify]

THE BALLS ARE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!!!!

[Rhysdux]

Okay, I LOVE how the thief saved his hands.

[JimmoKudwaComm]

7:42 Why didn't he just pick the entire thing up and steal all the jewels?

[rockinamber18]

i guess the thief was smart enough to use the two scratchers.

[serentochan]

The face combined with the music at 1:47 might just be the best moment of the film

[HelloAgain151]

That thief really does have some Gigantic balls.......

[anUHkins]

@HelloAgain151 haha maybe thats what they ment when it was animated lol double meaning

[mrsanimal0lover]

makes me wish i could have seen this as a kid, i'm so making my kids watch this

[Stantzs]

I remember seeing the "original" version when I was a kid, I had no idea it was such a good movie.

It's good that you put it on youtube, but someone needs to finish this and publish it for real.

[TheSnowyice]

@Stantzs ikr? That would be totally awesome! :-D

[Kyman102]

1:45 "Deal with it."

[Hoshikane5]

Well...I'll give the thief points for determination

[TrueDudeX]

5:11 "THE BALLS ARE GOOOOONE!"

Best quote of the whole movie.

[CCharmanderK]

@TrueDudeX I'm partial to ZigZag exclaiming "I'M TAKING MY BALLS... AND LEAVING!!!"

[boogilish]

2:08 now those are some balls

[bongodrumms]

wow. princess yum yum just kicks ASS! she has way more attitude than jasmine ever did.

[TripleJCosplay]

D8 Oh no...what did Disney do to destroy this artistic masterpiece? Where can I buy an original copy? Is there an original version that is fully animator in the manner of: 5:40???

Thanks for uploading this!

[Mightymedic101]

@TripleJCosplay Disney didn't destroy it, Miramax was the one who screwed with it. It was gonna originally be for Warner Bros. but they cut the funding for it because it was so supposed to compete with Aladdin but Aladdin made the big screen first.

[TwilightLink77]

@TripleJCosplay The Disney version that was suppose to be a restoration of this film was shelved in 2003.

[TheDashingHero]

Tack is so cool silent. He looks cool as well.

[BillieJoesFave]

7:23 Damn. Wish I had that many pockets

[ktcal8]

BIRD.. OF... EVIL!!!!!

[TwiggehLeaf]

Also hahaha his mouth as he looks at the guard, that's cute 9:18

[TwiggehLeaf]

Oh my gosh, the bit with the thief and the jewels in the glass jar was hilarious

[VengefulKBM]

"I think there are some balls you should be breaking."

......bahahahaha

[BillieJoesFave]

@VengefulKBM *bringing

[AnthonyEstephane]

The BOOOOLLZZ are GONE!!!

[MsPenchi]

Lol the thief steals from himself! 6:14

[HopeUnquenchable]

@MsPenchi Ironically enough, he looks even more pleased at stealing from himself than when he stole the golden balls!

[96Alecat]

Yum Yum: GET AWAY BIRD OF EVIL *crotch kick* XD love her!!!

[hackensac]

2:03

Thief: now that I have the balls

[bulinger96]

theeeeeeiiiiffff  theeeeeeiiiiiifffff

[PsychopathUltimate]

2:55 - 3:02 that just reminded me of Gerald Scarfe's depiction of Judge Worm from Pink Floyd: The Wall; The Movie.

[LumberArbiter]

I tried to watch the scene where the balls were in his clothes. I really tried to see it from an artistic stand point... but I had to laugh.

[callmecrazy341]

"Get away, bird of evil!" lmao

[CCharmanderK]

Man, the poor thief just can't catch a break, can he? XD

[EpicureanFilms]

Subliminal messaging anyone?

[FilmFTW1]

2:50 Would the MPAA allow this to be shown?

[QuorthonandCronos]

I'm willing to bet that the scene at 6:56 is the first scene ever animated for this film; you can tell because the quality and style is slightly different and older-looking.

[hackensac]

2:11

Now that I have the balls....

[likemachinesdo]

This is the most awake the king has ever been.

[TheVeyZ]

"Is this opportunity ringing?"

[CaylisGrenouille]

9:09 that's why mom always says: never go out without a backscratcher.

[KOkami03]

8:30 I like how the guards chanted "Thief!"

[KOkami03]

THe sad thing is that that was the common punishment for thieves.

[obliviouscandybar]

What does he plan to do with three golden globes?

[ruthanneism]

@obliviouscandybar If you watched the other movie (I think the other Thief and the Cobbler), the thief tells us what he would do with them

[Chronicler177]

How the HELL did that guy survive all that way with 10 arrows in his back??!

[obliviouscandybar]

@Chronicler177

As long as the arrows hadn't hit any vital organs, he could probably pull it off through sheer willpower.

[hobbitchild08]

I really wish they had kept Yum Yum going to the dungeon and kicking Fido's ass... She cares for the Cobbler and that was just needed for her to have something to do.

[Maxthemetalkid]

2:18 I'M GOING TO DISNEYLAND!!!!!!!

[helljumpr5150]

I like it how in this version, Yum-yum calls Tack as 'her' cobbler rather than 'the' cobbler, very sweet and possesive she is.

[LunaHeartnet]

@ 1:56 AWWW! The white mouse is trying to help Cobbler!

[Mufnluvr]

I want that thief's coat.

[LilSnappe3r]

6:15 .. Did he steal from himself? xD

[mbabitt]

That thief has balls of solid gold!

[TheGreatMrL]

"The BAAAAAAAALLS are GOOOONE! My kingdom will come to destruction and DEATH!" That's over-acting hamminess if I've ever seen it.

[leftyliz140]

It's truly sad what happened to this film, but I have an even sadder feeling that it might have had a narrow audience anyway, given that, because of its unique and eye-popping art, it's the trippiest thing since Yellow Submarine.

[NeverDoubt1]

@leftyliz140 In a way it's partially the tragic back story that has given this movie a new life in the 2000's it might not have had otherwise. The Internet has definitely been a positive for this film. :)

[HorrorpunkGuanatos]

you wanna see trippy? watch Fantastic Planet / Planete Sauvage. I give you permission to virtually slap me in the face if it dosnt trip you the fuck out.

[Twilight14Vampire]

Tack's mouth inspired..... this face! :>

[ApplePaai]

Wow... I really... really love the animation in this movie. It really is ambitious and original. I'm so glad I found out about it.

/insert a bunch of ball jokes here

[PukyBear]

I like the way the creator put the tacks as the mouth of Tack

[Zorendorf]

He scurries away so funny at the end! lolz

[Bluecho4]

Huh, so those buttscratchers turned out to be a chekov's gun. Was not expecting that.

That being said, why'd he just drop the remainder of them when he ran away? I mean sure, as buttscratchers go they're useless now, but what he had left were still gem-encrusted.

[ilikethecoke]

The Thief's face when he sees the jewels and when his "hands" get cut off are some of the funniest things I've seen in recent years.

[meowkie]

@Emi212 As I was watching the film, you can literally see all of the "inspirations" Disney took from Williams' work and later incorperated into Aladdin....which challenges my old beliefs I held for Disney. That's all I meant.

[meowkie]

Disney...it`s like I don`t have anything left to say to you... It`s heartbreaking and infuriating, knowing that this may NEVER be complete. though, even in its unfinished state...it`s an absolute masterpiece...

[Emi212]

@meowkie This isn't Disney's.

[meowkie]

@Emi212 I never said it was. read the description.

[desperationeffect]

This is fucking terrifying.

[yowfan111]

the thief is going to disneyland

[5r22]

Screw the Joker, Thief is chaos incarnate

[michikodarkkitsune]

The thief reminds me of Wile E. Coyote (or however you spell it XD) xxx

[DAVIDSYDH17]

In 7:09 The Thief Does Looks Like The Pink Panther

[origamipein18]

Wow, that was smart using the backscratcher hands instead of using his real hands.

[jegsimmonsproduction]

man this movies got some dark themes...love it.

[dfer159632]

music is fantastic!

[JoelandtheBots]

At 5:03 you can see the spear sticking out of the guy. Ow.

And the music at 7:35 sounds awfully familiar...

[klutterkicker]

I can't help but notice they never fully animated the pendulous swinging balls.

[rimay14]

looool @ 0:23

[SSdetectiveagency]

why were the thief's balls swinging in our faces?....okay that was immature but to be honest what was wrong with calling them the magical orbs instead of balls!? I mean that would save the movie a lot of jokes also for the future *mwah* GOODNIGHT EVERYBODY!

[xXFlyingMintBunnyXx]

@SSdetectiveagency bwhahahaha xD

[Emi212]

@SSdetectiveagency Someone was sent here by the Nostalgia Critic... XD

[SSdetectiveagency]

@Emi212 Damn! My cover's blown Dx.....lol

[Metabadd]

@SSdetectiveagency I think that might've been the intention, actually.

[SSdetectiveagency]

@Metabadd that's....a little sad

[Metabadd]

@SSdetectiveagency I think it's kinda funny, but eh...to each their own I suppose.

[aquelescaraaaaaaaaaa]

THE BOOOOOOOOOOLS ARE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!

[ThomasDeCosteTV]

5:13 Johnny!

[TheTrueAssanaut]

3:00 BALLS

[KrimzonFlygon]

What the?!? Is that thief the reincarnation of the God of Failure or something?

[Gigaspine7]

@KrimzonFlygon If he was the god of failure he would never have gotten the balls.

[KrimzonFlygon]

@Gigaspine7 Yes, and bear in mind what THAT lead to.

[ciddjr]

damn the thief is such a klepto he steals from himself

[LolGurrl91]

ok, who else got a dirty image in their head when the thief was scaling the chain with the golden balls swinging and swaying in his cloak below him??? XDDD

[origamipein18]

@LolGurrl91 I did.

[TheGustavoag]

It looks like Scrat from Ice Age might be based off of the Thief in this movie...

[holomakenai]

Man, that scene with the thief and the backscratchers was really clever.

[Destenyne]

who else thinks the thief is a hundred times funnier without the internal monologue

[Robogabriel]

@Destenyne Some of it was a little funny, cuz they at least got a funny man like Jonathan Winters to read it, but yeah, he's much better without it.

[Timefliesbye]

@Destenyne who thinks the thief doesn't make you want to stab your eardrums out with a toothpick without his inner monologue?

[OriginalBlorath]

@Timefliesbye I actually prefer the monologue.

[Timefliesbye]

@OriginalBlorath all right you must be joking.

I mean you just said you'd rather have Mathew Broderick monologuing through the entire movie... the man redefines blandness. Not to mention the Thief's annoying insipid monologue on top of Mathew Broderick voicing Tak.

[OriginalBlorath]

@Timefliesbye I am not joking. I don't care who does the voice acting. I just like monologue version more, I find the theif's thoughts to be funny and interesting. That's my opinion and if you can respect that, then I will respect your opinion.

[Timefliesbye]

@OriginalBlorath sure. I was just so flabbergasted to hear what you said because when I sat through the monologue I honestly was so annoyed I muted the movie.

[OriginalBlorath]

@Timefliesbye I understand what you mean. I seen other movies where theres been a lot of monologue or something similar and it really annoyed me because it was so distracting. But for some reason I don't get that with Thief and the Cobbler.

[AbbyAmbition14]

@Destenyne the thief is hilarious either way, but in my opinion, he's funnier with the internal monologue.

[aliendroid666]

rotflol that was too funny!

[ryuzakiforever]

If the thief latches the rope to the top, why didn't he just stay up there?

[NeverDoubt1]

"Thieeeeef Thieeeeeef"  Sheesh, the servants in this story do a lot of random singing!

[Soroboruo]

You think he'd cut or snag himself on the bars as he escapes.

I can't tell if the thief's aside glance at 1:45 or so is a "Look at me I got to the top!" look, or an "Oh, GREAT, animators, NOW what?"

Really, he could have just dropped the balls to the ground - not like they would have gotten hurt...

Wow, he's something else, 3:15

The king comes off as a retired badass here.

[ChannelBluesy]

@Soroboruo I always thought the Thief was acting all badass as he thinks, "Yeah. I did it."

But I love fourth wall humor, so let's go with, "Okay animators, NOW WHAT?"

[Soroboruo]

@ChannelBluesy XD this is the value of a silent (almost) film. Multiple interpretations.

[laughingwarlock]

Good work, thief! You've brought me all the balls, brining me one step closer to my wish for immortality. If you were a dog I'd pat you on the head. If you were a cat I'd give you a cup of warm milk. But since you're neither of those things I'll just say good job.

....

These balls fill me with such unbridled joy.... I want to CARESS THEM!!!!

[HeavensDrills]

"Now that I have the balls....."

[GeneWilderFangirl]

I tried really hard not to make any Dragon Ball Z jokes while watching this.

I ended up shouting "THE BALLS ARE INERT!" at 5:07

...at least I tried, right? D:

[kyubiiofrage]

You know what these scenes of the Thief trying to get the ball's reminds me of? Wile E. Coyote

[QuorthonandCronos]

@kyubiiofrage actually, I think some of the thief's scenes were done by Coyote animator Ken Harris

[kyubiiofrage]

@QuorthonandCronos That makes a lot of sense actually. And it just enhances the epicness of this film.

[ViviBlackmyst]

@kyubiiofrage Persistent and hopeless XDD That pretty much sums it up huh?
