Line 67:
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: "Seeeiizze him! Take him! Seize him! Take him!"
* [[Deranged Animation]]: Taken [[Up to Eleven]] in the original version.
* [[Design Student's Orgasm]]: Everything is extremely stylized to the point of being super weird. Lots of [[Amazing Technicolor Population]], [[Unmoving PlaidPattern]] and [[Deranged Animation]].
* [[Determinator]]: ''Nothing'' can stop the Thief once he spots something shiny.
** Subverted at the end of the original, where he and Tack are fighting over the balls, and the Thief just decides that they're not worth it and walks away.
Line 152:
* [[Rebellious Princess]]: YumYum shows shades of this in the original, but it was [[Flanderization|Flanderized]] big time in the edits.
** It also turned her into a [[Jerkass]]. At least Jasmine could back up the fact that she had brains inside a pretty body and didn't just sing and spin.
* [[Re CutRecut]]: There's three versions of the film:
** The original, unfinished version of the film by Richard Williams. He put together a workprint in 1992 before he was forced to leave. The Recobbled Cut is a restoration of this, with only some cosmetic changes (adding more music and replacing storyboards with Calvert's animation where it didn't differ too much).
** ''The Princess and the Cobbler'' in 1993 by Fred Calvert, which removed a bunch of scenes, added songs, a voice for Tack and a large amount of [[Off-Model]] animation.
Line 180:
** [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: All of the One-eyes have a single, big, red eye.
* [[Traveling Pipe Bulge]]: The thief does this extensively while trying to sneak into the castle.
* [[Unmoving PlaidPattern]]: Pretty much any scene with tiled floors. This is due to the style being based on ancient persian miniature paintings, which did not have correct perspective. Averted whenever the animators [[Doing It for the Art|decided to rotate the scene around]].
** [http://thethief1.blogspot.com/2008/07/dying-messenger-part-2.html This actually caused some problems] with the scene where a messenger rides across a courtyard, with a panning camera.
* [[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).
