The Thief and the Cobbler - Voice Comparison 

0:00 - The Thief and the Cobbler (Original) Unknown - Tack Never Speaks - The Thief Vincent Price - Zigzag Sara Crowe - Princess Yum-Yum Anthony Quayle - King Nod 3:37 - The Princess and the Cobbler (Calvert) Steve Lively - Tack Unknown - Narrator Ed E. Carroll (Only sounds) - The Thief Vincent Price - Zigzag Bobbi Page - Princess Yum-Yum Clive Revill - King Nod 6:01 - Arabian Knight (Miramax) Matthew Broderick - Tack & Narrator Jonathan Winters - The Thief Vincent Price - Zigzag Jennifer Beals - Princess Yum-Yum Clive Revill (Some lines changed) - King Nod

I love that no matter what they kept Vincent Price as the voice of Zigzag.

I’m laughing at the fact in the Calvert version they made tack’s voice deep like at the end of the original

i will say something small i love about the original when its comes to the sound design, but not voice acting but music, is how that first moment when they stared at each other and tilted their heads, the soft and light music that played perfectly matched the innocence and gentle nature of their feelings looking at each other. The other versions went a little too hard for the “falling in love at first sight” kinda music that takes over the moment and almost feels too loud, distracting from the simpleness and poignancy of the scene. Idk, just another reason i love the original

Just- the thief thinking ‘heloooooo Betty-‘ when he saw the golden balls was HILARIOUS 🤣😂🤣

At least they didn’t change zig zags voice

Funny thing, Matthew Broderick is also the voice of Simba in Disney's The Lion King

Now it makes more sense why the huge tent was in the room in the beginning.

6:35 Why hasn't that become a meme yet?

"Oh look your dropping you're tacks🤭" 7:05 THIS IS SO FUNNY

I know I mentioned this before, but I believe Clive Revill might also be the Narrator for the Calvert version. In fact, Revill does a very similar voice for the Narrator in Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas.

I really love the original and hope it gets finished via the re-cobbled edition BUT..... Vincent Price just cannot be beat.

3:34 Zigzag’s c••kblock face

the animation is so beautiful

Good job! Currently working on something similar with the War Machine Sequence, with the main thing the video will be putting on is how useless Winters monologue is in Miramax version, as well as how sadly cut down the sequence is in most versions.

2:03, 2:50 I like when the viziers shush themselves

4:23 I feel this is an alternate Sarah Crowe take, not a Bobbi Page take (this does definitely apply anywhere else in this scene). Idk, it just sounds very close to Crowe’s performance, being less sappy and a little more balanced. It’s also way better then Jennifer Beals strange delivery of “Wake up, wake up father.” (Though that’s also the Miramax version, so of course something is off).

Miramax is definitely the winner for me. Even just adding the few sound affects that they did was a good idea.

In the versions where Tack and the thief didn’t speak, audiences must have gotten confused, so Matthew Broderick and Jonathan Winters’ voices were added in to make better sense of the story.

I know this isnt a popular take but i like the miramax version, the thiefs inner monolog is my favorite and i like tacks voice, and the less amount of inappropriate moments is also more comfortable to watch. Dont get me wrong i like the concept of having tack and the thief being mute, its unique but i still prefer the miramax version, although not so much the music and singing it all kinda meh

All I here with the last version is Simba.

I will say this, I don’t think the creepy scene with Zigzag giving the king a concubine was necessary, and not to mention the unfortunate blackface of the slaves carrying her in was either. If anything should’ve been cut/replaced, it should have just been that.

Which versions do you prefer? Richard Williams (Original) Fred Calvert (Allied Filmmakers) Harvey Weinstein (Miramax Pictures/ViacomCBS)

I think the voice acting progressively gets worse. Not that the new actors did a bad job, I just don't think their voices fit the characters as well. Though the later versions did at least have a coherent story and better pacing than the original.

Miramax version has Hanna Barbera sound effects

Vincent Price is also the voice of Professor Ratigan from The Great Mouse Detective.

Hey I was listening to your edit of the mafia dance from Coonskin and I was wondering if you could please upload the miss America song. I would really appreciate it.

2:45

I've fallen down a rabbit hole for this movie and I was just curious, does anyone know where I can watch or buy the clarvert version? It's the only one I can't find

ZigZag is ALWAYS Vincent. I love that

Funny fact. Jonathan Winters ad-libbed the entire movie. There was no script for him.

Idk about y’all but I swear I liked it better when tack didn’t talk he was cuter and more mysterious that way I mean ok yah the thief too just so I don’t need more of a reason to wish he had less screen time but

Really like that taks voice is deep in the original it weirdly suits him ?

3:37 - The Australian version is better than the original, because who will watch an animated film that is not completely finished.

King nod talks like Darth Sidious from empire strikes back

Miramax is still my favourite.

Original Workprint(UK): Why would they show the unfinished parts of the movie? In minute 2:06 the music isn't a little bit too high-pitched? I mean, it's fine, 3:33 at least they could've insert some dissapointing soundtrack in the background by the moment Zig Zag was shown with his displeasure and wrath. Calvert(AUS): Charming music heard in the background, Yum Yum's voice is too high-pitched, King Nod's voice sounds unique and too fancy. Miramax(USA): A lot of unnecessary inter-monologues, at least Yum Yum's voice sounds normal and not to high-pitched, some sound effects that portrays situations could be optional (For instance, when the thief sees the three golden balls there's a cash sound effect heard in the background). I dunno which one would have won but if I had to choose one I'll go either the Calver Or Miramax version.

Animation community, as an American, I would deeply like to offer my honest and genuine apologies that my country's production sensibilities regarding animation have ABSOLUTELY SUCKED the originality and art out of the medium for decades. One day after I die, if my unique afterlife lets me try to take on animation, I will do what I can to shoulder and get justice for the sins of the countless corporate bean counters who have never even touched an animation cell before, who ruined perfectly good art because they thought only braindead babies watch it.

RIP Jonathan Winters Died trying to steal balls

Voice Originality 💯🤍💭🧬🔯🌌👣✔️✒️🦁.

the American one is so weird.

0:59 4:23 6:48

Miramax is my favorite

4:43 - 4:53 sounds very similar to the Fire Emblem theme

You showed the "original workprint," but the visuals used were from the Gilchrist cut. The originals are much lower quality, and the colors are muted

He talks like ratigan from the great mouse detective

cool

Wich one is the best to look ?

How can you not favor the version with Matthew Broderick?! It's Simba!

The thief and the cobbler Or The cobbler and the princess

Americans don't know silence... it's ridiculous, they have to describe everything and add useless voice lines

Miramax just sounds so dumb

Hate the Calvert version
