1. The Thief and the Cobbler

From all the movies that took ages to make, this one definitely takes the cake. Written, directed, and animated by Richard Williams, the children’s movie commenced its production in 1964, but had to be continually shut down due to a lack of funding. When Williams finally received the monetary help of Warner Bros. studios (after releasing Who Framed Roger Rabbit) things seemed to be back on track, but the director struggled so much with the budget and time limits that the movie was ultimately taken away from him. It was then released to the audience in 1993, but wasn’t the masterpiece Williams had hoped for.
