In 2006, filmmaker Garrett Gilchrist edited together The Thief and the Cobbler: Recobbled Cut, an unofficial restoration of Richard Williams' unfinished film. This edit uses all available footage from Williams' workprint and the released Calvert versions of the film, as well as many rarer sources including a 35mm film reel salvaged from Jean MacCurdy's trash by an animator. The edit uses these disparate sources [even the poor Calvert animation] to show what the nearly-completed film would have been like.

Gilchrist also runs TheThiefArchive on Youtube, a collection of rare video from [[Richard Williams Animation Studio]], which for years exemplified the best of British animation at a very exciting time. There are discussion forums at http://orangecow.org/board and at Facebook , where more and more information and video has been brought to light.
