Striving to make the greatest animated film of all time, visionary animator Richard Williams (Academy Award-winning animation director of WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT) toiled for nearly three decades on his masterpiece, THE THIEF AND THE COBBLER — only to have it torn from his hands. Filmmaker Kevin Schreck has woven together mind-blowing animation, rare archival footage, and exclusive interviews with key animators and artists who worked with Williams on his ill-fated magnum opus to bring this legendary, forgotten chapter of cinema history to the screen for the very first time.

A tale of creative genius gone horribly awry, PERSISTENCE OF VISION is the untold story of the greatest animated film never made.
