Like it's extremely impressive he did it all by himself,it technically worked out,you can live in it and NOT die. But effort and gumption does not make a good house nor animated film.
he card scene alone is infinitely better than what I can do,but I bet I could make a better movie. Probably not a movie with better animation,but a better movie none the less.
Honestly even if the Thief and the Cobbler had came out the way he wanted it would have either flown under the radar of Disney or become “muh 80s dark fantasy forgotten classic”,it wouldve been a dud but like Laura Palmer in it's death it has greater life.
