Yesterday I had a new experience. I went to show the Thief and the Cobbler the recobbled version and everybody had seen it. This is good news. It means that Garrett Gilchrist`s restored version is now the version of choice. That teachers in animation schools are showing the version closest to what Williams planned as a good example of animaiton.

Here is the strange thing. My students had never seen the Disney version. When I showed them the princess singing and dancing scene they could not believe it. They thought that it was a parody. They did not believe that this was part of the movie as it was distributed.

I am not sure what this means but I think it is a good thing. And once again, a great thanks to Garrett Gilchrist for a job well done.
