If you’ve ever seen Who Framed Roger Rabbit, 1971’s A Christmas Carol, or the titles for The Pink Panther, you’ve seen the work of Richard Williams. Now in his 80s, the animator, director, and designer has created thousands of animated film titles and commercials and even written a book on the art of animation. All this despite the fact that for three decades he was sacrificing other work to direct one immense film that never made it to screen, the Fantasia-esque Arabian tale called The Thief and the Cobbler.
