  • More things isn't always better, simplicity can have a better affect too. For instance the lack of voices for Tack is better because at the end when he finally DOES say something ("and I love you") it's sweet and causes an impact. The lack of voice for the thief though is good also because instead of having to focus on his words the viewer has to focus on his movement and reaction, causing one to not just get direct answers but think on what he's up to.

    But that's just me XD

  • I LOVE THIS MOVIE :D

  • Is this Mark 1 of the Recobbled Cut?

  • thi is great but i actually typed in inspiring videos on you tube and this came up?????????????????

  • though some idiots complain about it's simplistic story they don't get the obivous intention of this complex world and architecture with seemingly simple yet actually complex characters an example would be their names yet their given well developed personalities. a complex world with a simple but good story.

  • Trippy

  • And don't get me started on the atrocity of cutting literally HALF the picture out so that what they're doing doesn't make as much sense. It was originally scope. Have you seen the pan-and scan version of Close Encounters, where people talk to no-one or there are only noses in the frame because they've chopped it down from cinemascope format (super widescreen)? When visuals are used to tell the story, stuff like that DOES affect the tone and story. P&S Close Encounters and Thief are a P.O.S.

  • @UTcommando Wow. If you actually love animation, I can't understand how you could possibly say that. One of the cardinal rules of animation is to SHOW, not talk about it. The inane (sounds drunken at times) muttering by Winters is REDUNDANT. He commits the animation sin of redundantly describing what you're showing/doing. If he was adlibbing, it wasn't a good one. If it was scripted, there's no excuse. I'd lay money you can't give me a single line that adds to character or story. Same for MB.

  • I weep for the animators who had to work on this

  • Thief FTW

  • Hey, everybody. I was wondering if anyone knew where I can find the "recobbled cut" version of this movie on dvd.

    PLEASE RESPOND!!!

    Thanks
