I've soled out!
No, really, my shoe's got a hole in it.
Someone get me a cobbler ASAP!

Ha! I'm a wandering soul with no soles. No cobblers, either. Never ran with the devil, but flirted with him....
...and they always say when you kiss on the devil...you piss off a saint.......so we do have to be very careful.......

Didn't the devil...but he did, didn't he? He sold you some soleless souls thats why all cobblers are going to hell because the lost souls that got sold without soles needed to cobbled by the cobbler?

I know of this story about a cobbler that our plight reminds us of.
One man decided he wanted to create an animated film. He didn't want to make a synthesized film approved by accountants and ad execs with litle plush toy characters thrown in for toy sales...
He wanted to make a piece of art.
So for 25 years he animated a film.. all by himself! 25 years he labored. Occasionally paying out of his own pocket to hire people to help.
He put all his hear and soul into a story about a poor cobbler, a beggar, horribly poor. But he falls in love with a princess, the daughter of a Sultan. But the kingdom is threatened by the Sultan's most trusted aid, a Grand Viser (played by Vincent Price in his last role). The Viser had a hypnotic snake staff which he was entrancing the Sultan.
Does that sound familiar? Well... Disney ripped the idea to create Aladdin.
But the story gets worse.... This man is getting older... his ideas ripped off he tries to finish the film the only way he can, he takes a loan from a big animation company. But he still can't finish the monumental task in time. And this film, the one he worked on for 25 years.....its taken away from him.
The unfinished parts of the film are sent off to Korea and Japan to be made as cheap as possible. You literally can see the difference when the film switches to the foreign made scenes.
Not only that... the animation company decides to make it more "marketable". They tear out scenesm add new ones. They add silly songs for each character to sing! Even for the main character, the cobbler who is a MUTE! The whole movie was writen to poetically revolve around the character who could not speak... now he sings "I want..." songs!
The movie is horribly mangled.
it dies at the box office.
so ends the story of the Theif and the Cobbler (released as The Princess and the Cobbler)

Hi All!
Yes,it's unfourtunate that Richard Williams sure got reamed by Disney, and now they are screwing around with Hayao Miyazaki's artistic endevors. Funny how the busniss educated men crap on the people who have visions.
Disney had the rights to all the Miyazaki (Ghibilie Studios) yet all of the films have had only limited releases, and Spirited Away has no advertising on TV at all. But just to let you know SA is on DVD now, and Laputa:Castle in the Sky, (which I Highly reccomend) Oh well I hope that future Japanese Animation studios stear clear of any Disney backed projects. Notorious Backstabbers. Educated theives. Visionless Imagineers. Oh wait I just described Unversal, and Sci Fi Channel. 
Laters!
P.S. I am very relieved that CF is still up and running,and in my opinion, has become more stronger than ever, from what we experienced because of Moore's Vision. A Miyazaki he is not, not by a Long Shot.
Rich.

BLUE MULE,
When I saw Princess Mononoke, I was just blown away. I rented it from Netflix. They now have Spirited Away but there's a very long wait. Kiki's Delivery Service is now available also, and another long wait. These are DVD's that I want to buy. I want to have these, to look at anytime.

What I'm looking for are soul-less soles, so I don't have to worry about the cobbler going to hell.

Look at what I'm saying, O One-Who-Walks-Alone, Emerita's post ended up in two places. That woman has a magic computer...I'll bet she has a cobbler in her basement, too.
Or were you confused about this thread in general? Looks good to me....
