<entity_0> is an animated <entity_8> directed by animator <entity_3>. In 2013, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences archived <entity_3>'s own 35 mm workprint; Williams himself acknowledged the film's rehabilitated reputation, thanks to projects like the popular fan edit by Garrett Gilchrist, The Recobbled Cut, and Persistence of Vision, a 2012 documentary from Kevin Schreck about the film's production from 1964 to <entity_5>. With <entity_0> being in and out of production from 1964 until <entity_5>, a total of 31 years, it surpasses the 20-year Guinness record previously held by Tiefland (1954). It was also the final film for several actors and artists, including animators Ken Harris (died 1982), Errol Le Cain (died January of 1989), Emery Hawkins (died June of 1989), Grim Natwick (died 1990), and Art Babbitt (died <entity_13>), as well as actors <entity_10> (died 1979), <entity_12> (died 1981), Clinton Sundberg (died 1987), <entity_2> (died 1988), Sir <entity_4> (died 1989), and <entity_7> (died <entity_1>, a month after the film's initial release). ^a According to <entity_3>, <entity_11> was going to record Tack's one line, but never showed up at the studio, so the line was instead performed by a friend of his wife's. In 1964, <entity_3>, a Canadian animator living in the <entity_6>, was running an animation studio assigned to animate commercials and special sequences for live-action films. Actor <entity_7> was hired to perform the voice of the villain, Anwar, later renamed "ZigZag", originally assigned to <entity_2>. Because of his success, Williams and <entity_9> negotiated a funding and a distribution deal for <entity_0>, which included a $25 million marketing budget. On <entity_13>, this rough version of the film was shown to <entity_9>, and was not well received. Tomm Moore, the director of both films, said "Some friends in college and I were inspired by <entity_3>'s unfinished masterpiece <entity_0> and the Disney movie Mulan, which took indigenous traditional art as the starting point for a beautiful style of 2D animation. Persistence of Vision is a documentary by Kevin Schreck, about <entity_3> and the production of <entity_0>, which the film calls "the greatest animated film never made".
