Striving to make the greatest animated film of all time, visionary and acclaimed animator Richard Williams ("Who Framed Roger Rabbit") toiled for more than a quarter of a century on his masterpiece -- 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 story to the screen. A tale of art, obsession, and dreams, PERSISTENCE OF VISION is the untold story of the greatest animated film never made
