What is The Ink Thief?

The Ink Thief is a wonderfully bizarre British children's fantasy show from 1994. Starring Richard O'Brien (yes, that Richard O'Brien) as the titular Ink Thief and Toyah Wilcox as Dog, it was written by Paul Springer, who also plays Toddy, the Ink Thief's dimwitted hench-cat.

It follows a pair of kids, siblings Sam and Jim, as they discover a secret world of imaginary creatures. When Jim falls under the Ink Thief's influence, tricked into helping him steal power from the imagination stored in books, Sam must stop the Ink Thief and save her brother with the help of librarian Miz Tiggle and an assortment of colorful characters.

Charmingly low budget, the show features creative costumed characters, cel animation, primitive cgi, and fun musical numbers!
