The animated Nasrudin film, which became The Thief and the Cobbler, is excerpted with an interview with animator Richard Williams. It is unclear how much of the Nasrudin film was completed, as very little of it has been seen, but many shots and ideas from the original film survive in The Thief and the Cobbler- which was written and compiled as a hodgepodge of the best visual ideas from the unfinished Nasrudin film.

Kenneth Williams is the primary (only?) voice heard in this clip.

This is from a documentary series, One Pair of Eyes. The episode is called Dreamwalkers. The narrator is Idries Shah, who translated and wrote a series of Nasrudin books which were illustrated by Richard Williams in the 1960s, leading to this animated project which fell apart when Williams fell out with the Shah family over financial issues.
