The Thief and the Cobbler
Movie • 1993 • Animation
ReportSynopsis
It is written among the limitless constellations of the celestial heavens, and in the depths of the emerald seas, and upon every grain of sand in the vast deserts, that the world which we see is an outward and visible dream, of an inward and invisible reality ... Once upon a time there was a golden city. In the center of the golden city, atop the tallest minaret, were three golden balls. The ancients had prophesied that if the three golden balls were ever taken away, harmony would yield to discord, and the city would fall to destruction and death. But... the mystics had also foretold that the city might be saved by the simplest soul with the smallest and simplest of things. In the city there dwelt a lowly shoemaker, who was known as Tack the Cobbler. Also in the city... existed a Thief, who shall be... nameless.

There is various cartoon violence, and one character is shown to be impaled by many, many arrows, though no blood is visible.

The interior design of the palace exploits optical illusions, and can get quite epileptic.

No, but The Thief is sentenced to having his hands cut off; he uses two hand-shaped back scratchers to get out of it unharmed, but acts as though his hands have been cut off when it happens.

The Thief falls from what should be lethal heights at least three times in the film, but cartoon physics save his life.
