It was a waste of his talent, for sure.
I'm of the opinion that "ruined" Thief and the Cobbler might be a better scenario than if the movie had been completed as intended; if Williams had just made the perfect animated movie, as intended, people could either ignore it, say it's overrated, or say it actually sucks, like they commonly do with near perfect animated movies like Redline, Akira, Feherlofia, etc. But since it's technically unfinished and never will be, it's impossible to convincingly criticize. It gets to be perfect forever by virtue of being irreparably damaged from the outset
The 2013 work print is a pretty close approximation to what the final product would have been and it's not good, outside of the animation quality in the finished sections. Richards desperately needed producers to slap him around and take the screenplay and editing away from him so that someone who understood pacing and narratives could have taken the reins and let him do the animation.
Instead he wasted 25 years of his life on a barely watchable mess with some nice ideas and sequences.
It's sad, but at least you have some great animation to show for it.
We will never see Jodorowsky's Dune. Just give me the film book at least.

this post is a perfect example of the kind of bullshit I was describing in mine
What are you even on about retard?
about how retarded you are
I had a feeling that you weren't going to have a valid complaint.
I put the visual effects in the thing(2011) as my personal biggest tragedy.
I'm not surprised you're bad at gauging/evaluating things
Are you seriously trying to tell me that saying that the Cobbler and the Thief having poor narrative structure and pacing is a controversial criticism, rofl? Jesus christ, brainlet.
I'm saying you're an entitled, arrogant shit with nothing to say that's worth hearing
so, exactly the type of person I was complaining about before you even started talking
go back to playing video games
Take your medication.

>tfw Richard Williams never got to finish the film and make his own Director's Cut ala. Blade Runner: The Final Cut
