Where can I find a copy of The Theif and the Cobbler, the 2007 Recobbled cut?

DVD or a download is fine, though I might prefer a download. I loved this version of the movie when I found it hidden away on Google video. But I've tried to find it available via bitorrent before and could only find one torrent, I waited for the download to finish for nearly a month, and when it did finish the files were corrupted and useless. So whenever I wanted to watch it I simply went back to the google video link.

But now that I heard Google is shutting down their Google video service, I really want to get some kind of copy of this film. Can anyone help me?

By the way, I will not accept the 1995 Miramax version or the 1993 Allied Filmmakers version.

It looks like it's still up on Google Video.

Google has said that they're not going to remove anything (legal anyway), only stop allowing uploads soon.

So, for now, toss the URL in here and you'll be able to download local copies of any google video including the one you want:
http://keepvid.com/

I think that the version you're talking about was actually released in November of 2006. It is available for purchase from these places:

Alternatively, I'd toss a post up on Craigslist or keep an eye on ebay. Often, hard to find movies are sold used and can be had for a steal.

Thanks, but that's the wrong version of the film.

Hu, well that is a toughy to find then. Mirimax must have released a few different versions right up against each other. It's not unusual for larger grossing films, but for something small it sure makes things confusing, doesn't it?

The Pirate Bay has a copy with a few seeders and leachers listed under "The Thief and the Cobbler: Recobbled Cut". I can't say it'll be much quicker or any more reliable than the one you've already tried to download.

Regardless, your best bet at getting this movie is likely Criagslist. I'd put a post up. I've found a couple of harder to find movies this way and for $20 - $40, a lot of folks will review their DVD / VHS collections to find something you really want.

No, there's multiple copies because the Recobbled version isn't a Miramax release. In fact, it's not even a legal release per say. I think you'd have to understand the history of the film a bit more. I'm not a huge fan of Craigslist but I'll try ebay.
