the thief and the cobbler ne demek?

The Thief and the Cobbler, or The Cobbler and the Thief, is an animated film directed by Richard Williams. The film was in production for over 30 years and was released in 1993 in a heavily-edited form under the title "The Princess and the Cobbler".

The original concept for the film was to be an adaptation of the Arabian Nights stories, with an emphasis on the characters of the Thief and the Cobbler. The film production started in the early 1960s and was originally planned to be a silent movie. It was developed by Williams Studio, which was famous for its work on the animated opening sequence of the Pink Panther films.

The Thief and the Cobbler has a unique visual style, featuring intricate and complex animation with a mix of traditional hand-drawn and digital techniques. The film's story follows a cobbler named Tack and a thief named Zigzag, who both fall in love with a princess named Yum-Yum. The film's plot revolves around their attempts to save Yum-Yum from the evil wizard, One-Eye, who plans to marry her and rule the kingdom.

Despite the film's impressive visual style, production setbacks and funding issues prevented the movie from being completed according to Williams' original vision. The film was ultimately released as a heavily-edited version of The Princess and the Cobbler in 1993, with additional dialogue and songs added to make it more marketable. The film was not successful commercially, and received mixed reviews from critics.

In 2013, a restored version of the film, titled The Thief and the Cobbler: Recobbled Cut, was released on DVD and Blu-ray. This version combines original animation and audio with reconstructed scenes and storyboards to create a more faithful representation of Williams' original vision.
