NOTE: According to Kevin Schreck, director of Persistence of Vision: “One thing, regarding that scene that Mason mentioned about the pipes: Those are all hand-drawn; no CGI or digital work done at all. All of the good animation in The Thief was by Williams and his team, and they didn’t use computers at all. Mind-blowing stuff.”

Runtime: 1:48:01; 53.5 MB
