The Thief and the Cobbler: Difference between revisions

* [[Butt Monkey]]: Nothing goes right for the thief and Zigzag's pet until the end.

* [[By the Lights of Their Eyes]]: {{spoiler|Zigzag}} being torn apart by crocodiles in the dark, with only eyes and teeth visible.

** And there has to be a mention for the thief and a certain polo ball. You can't help but either [[Your Mileage May Vary|pity the poor guy or laugh out of spite.]] [[Take a Third Option|Or both.]]

* [[Captain Obvious]]: Much of the dialogue in the Miramax version is this, mainly because it was half-heartedly thrown in for the sole purpose of [[Lull Destruction]]. For example, we know Tack's in love with the princess because he makes her face out of thread in a very effective scene. Yet [[Executive Meddling|somebody]] decided he also needed to sing a horrible [[Award Bait Song]] about it!

* [[Human Pincushion]]: The dying soldier who rides to send a message to the king has been impaled with a flagpole and a dozen of arrows. ([http://thethief1.blogspot.com/2008/07/dying-messenger-part-2.html#comments The animator actually added more arrows in later scenes] - nobody noticed!)

* [[I'm Going to Disney World]]: In the Miramax edit, when the Thief steals the three golden balls from the top of the palace, as he struggles to slide the third and largest ball off of the spire.

* [[Impossible Thief]]: Stealing the Golden Balls while {{spoiler|the death machine collapses}}, stealing ''The End'', stealing '''''the film from the projector'''''? There's a reason one of the working titles was ''The Thief Who Never Gave Up''.

** He even steals from his OWN POCKET in one scene.

* [[Villain Protagonist]]: The Thief. While he's not the [[Big Bad]], he isn't exactly a good guy either, considering the whole mess is his fault. Miramax apparently felt pity for him and made him an [[Accidental Hero]] when the King believes that he recovered the golden balls for the city and gives the balls back out of guilt (and not wanting to be attacked by the King's guards).

* [[Villain Team-Up]]: Zigzag goes to join the Mighty One-Eye after being refused to marry princess Yum-Yum.

* [[Visual Innuendo]]: The bit where the Thief steals the Golden Balls for the first time and [http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j175/muzition/thiefballs.jpg?t=1254273475 hides them under his clothes].

* [[Visual Pun]]: Zigzag holds up the tack he stepped on while saying that Tack "attacked" him.
