Persistence of Vision

A tale of creative genius gone horribly awry, Persistence of Vision is the untold story of the best animated film never made.

Striving to make the greatest animated film of all time, visionary animator Richard Williams (Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, A Christmas Carol) toiled for more than a quarter century on his masterpiece, The Thief and the Cobbler, only to have it torn from his hands. Filmmaker Kevin Schreck has woven together mind-blowing animation, rare archival footage, and exclusive interviews with key animators and artists who worked with Williams on his ill-fated magnum opus to bring this legendary story to the screen.
