[[folder: Tack]]
!!!!!Voiced by: Creator/SeanConnery (workprint), Steve Lively (Allied Filmmakers), Creator/MatthewBroderick (Miramax)
TheHero, and one of the two titular characters. Initially a simple cobbler working in the Golden City, he soon finds himself fighting along Princess Yum-Yum to save their city.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: Just look at him while he's fixing Yum-Yum's shoe. The Miramax version even describes him as being "too shy to speak."
* AdrenalineMakeover: See ClarkKentOutfit below.
* ClarkKentOutfit: Tack is surprisingly tall and muscular when he stands up straight and half of his clothes have been ripped off in the final fight; this is more obvious in the original storyboards (and VERY clear in a [[http://i.imgur.com/qAOHq.png concept drawing]] in the Recobbled DVD extras), as the animation finished by Calvert (which the Recobbled Cut uses to some extent) is very OffModel. This is probably part of his ComingOfAge story, along with getting a handsome tan and starting to talk.
* ClothingDamage: Gets some during the climax.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Tack's color palette is mainly white with shades of grey and black, in contrast to the colorful characters and sets around him.
* GoodMorningCrono: A non-game example; Tack's first scene is of him sleeping.
* HeroicMime[=/=]SilentProtagonist: In the original workprint and Recobbled Cut, he only says one line throughout the entire film. Averted in the Calvert and Miramax versions.
* NoMouth: His mouth is largely represented by the tacks he holds in his mouth.
* TiedTogetherShoelaceTrip: Pulls this off against one of Roofless' brigands.
* TitleHero: He's "the Cobbler" in the title.

The other title character, a [[NoNameGiven nameless]] ''very'' persistent thief. His theft of the [[{{MacGuffin}} Three Golden Balls]] kicks off much of the plot.
----
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: He's greenish-brown.
* BornInTheTheater: At the end of the movie, he literally steals the film off of the projector and makes off with it.
* ButtMonkey[=/=]TheChewToy: ''Nothing'' goes right for him until the end.
* ClutchingHandTrap: At one point, he sees a bottle filled with jewels. Unfortunately, the jewels are too big for him to get past the opening. He won't let go of the diamond, even when the palace guards have him surrounded.
* DeadpanSnarker: His inner monologue as provided by Jonathan Winters in the "finished" versions. Tends to provoke a LoveItOrHateIt response, with some finding it obnoxious and distracting, while others think it (along with the animation) is the only thing that makes those cuts watchable
* {{Determinator}}: When he sees something shiny, there's no stopping him.
* EverythingTryingToKillYou: An old lady turns out to be a [[IKnowKarate martial artist]], a bed turns out to be a pack of giant, angry guard dogs, the polo players constantly hit him... and the giant war machine has such things as a giant flyswatter, a giant broom and a giant iron.
* FiveFingerDiscount: As openly stated in the Miramax cut, he'll steal ''anything''. In one scene, he actually picks his ''own'' pocket.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm[=/=]ScrewThisImOuttaHere: At the end of the workprint, when he has Tack and the golden balls cornered; having literally been through hell and back trying to get the balls, he decides the balls are more trouble than they're worth and walks off in a huff.
* NoNameGiven: He's simply referred to as "the Thief."
* NotDistractedByTheSexy: When he comes across [=YumYum=] bathing, he is less concerned about the nude woman in front of him and more concerned about her jewel-encrusted backscratchers.
* ThePigPen: He's constantly surrounded by flies, and both Tack and [=YumYum=] smell him on different occasions, the latter thinking that the smell must be coming from a backed up sewage pipe.
* TheVoiceless: Unlike Tack, he is ''completely'' silent throughout the original. In the other versions, [[SuddenlyVoiced not so much]].

The BigBad, an EvilChancellor who has his eyes on the princess and the throne.
----
* AgonyOfTheFeet: He screams in agony and dances around when he steps on one of Tack's tacks.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: He's blue-skinned.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: He has blue skin and six-fingered hands.
* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: His plan amounts to him marrying the princess and becoming the king.
* BeardOfEvil: A goatee, no less.
* BigBad: Part of a BigBadDuumvirate alongside the Mighty One-Eye.
* BifurcatedWeapon: He has a stick that can sprout out hooks, forks and pointy bits from the top.
* CatchPhrase: "Have no fear, Zigzag the Grand Vizier is here!"
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: "Seeeiizze him! Take him! Seize him! Take him!"
* DisproportionateRetribution: He has Tack arrested, thrown in prison, and tries to feed him to his vulture Phido simply because he stepped on a tack that Tack dropped by accident. And that's only because [=YumYum=] saved his life; Zigzag originally wanted to have him beheaded.
* EvilChancellor: He's the grand vizier of the Golden City, and as evil as they come.
* EatenAlive: His final fate; he's torn apart by alligators, with his vulture Phido eating his head.
* EvilSorcerer: He claims to be a sorcerer, but it's obvious that [[SubvertedTrope all his "magic" is really done by smoke bombs and sleight of hand]].
* EvilWearsBlack: He wears a black robe.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Oddly enough, he calmly accepts his fate when the alligators are eating him.
* FamousLastWords: "For Zigzag, then, it is... the end."
* FauxAffablyEvil: He speaks in rhymes and provides King Nod with a massage and a concubine... all for the purposes of manipulation and distraction.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: In a blink-and-you'll miss it scene when he pops up out of the throne room floor, he has pink boxers with purple "Z's" under his robe.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He spends much of the film abusing his pet vulture Phido. In the end, Phido is the one to finish him off.
* InkSuitActor: After Vincent Price was cast as Zigzag's voice, his design was modified to resemble Price. This is more obvious when Williams shows his caricature of Price in TheAnimatorsSurvivalKit — it resembles Zigzag quite a lot!
* LargeHam: He's voiced by Vincent Price in all his glory ("FAT! FAAAAT! FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!").
* LaughablyEvil: Almost everything he does is horrible, yet he's still one of the funniest characters in the film.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: He takes being EatenAlive by alligators quite calmly.
* NotTheFallThatKillsYou: He meets his end by falling down a pit... right into the waiting jaws of the alligators.
* RhymesOnADime: Constantly speaks like this.

[[folder:Princess [=YumYum=]]]
!!!!!Voiced by: Hilary Pritchard (workprint), Bobbi Page (Allied Filmmakers), Creator/JenniferBeals (Miramax)
The princess of the Golden City and Tack's LoveInterest.
----
* BedlahBabe: Dresses as such, complete with a veil.
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: She's the princess, and one of the main characters.
* IWantSong: "She is More" in the "finished versions."
* RebelliousPrincess: Has shades of this in the original workprint, but it really stands out in the Calvert and Miramax versions.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Mighty One-Eye]]
!!!!!Voiced by: Paul Matthews (workprint), Kevin Dorsey (Allied Filmmakers/Miramax)
The other main villain of the film, the leader of a race of one-eyed marauders with designs on the Golden City.
----
* AtopAMountainOfCorpses: He and his men are first introduced as such, standing atop a mountain of Golden City soldiers' corpses.
* BiggerBad: Much of the plot revolves around stopping him from razing the Golden City.
* DisneyVillainDeath: In Calvert's version, he's thrown off a cliff.
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: His original fate in the workprint; his own slave girls surrounded him and crushed him to death by sitting on him in revenge for being used as a throne.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard[=/=]KarmicDeath: In both the workprint and Calvert versions, he's killed by his own abused slave women.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: He and his army use these colors to overkill. [[RedEyesTakeWarning Even his eye is red]].

[[folder: Tack]]
!!!!!Voiced by: Creator/SeanConnery (workprint), Steve Lively (Allied Filmmakers), Creator/MatthewBroderick (Miramax)
TheHero, and one of the two titular characters. Initially a simple cobbler working in the Golden City, he soon finds himself fighting along Princess Yum-Yum to save their city.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: Just look at him while he's fixing Yum-Yum's shoe. The Miramax version even describes him as being "too shy to speak."
* AdrenalineMakeover: See ClarkKentOutfit below.
* ClarkKentOutfit: Tack is surprisingly tall and muscular when he stands up straight and half of his clothes have been ripped off in the final fight; this is more obvious in the original storyboards (and VERY clear in a [[http://i.imgur.com/qAOHq.png concept drawing]] in the Recobbled DVD extras), as the animation finished by Calvert (which the Recobbled Cut uses to some extent) is very OffModel. This is probably part of his ComingOfAge story, along with getting a handsome tan and starting to talk.
* ClothingDamage: Gets some during the climax.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Tack's color palette is mainly white with shades of grey and black, in contrast to the colorful characters and sets around him.
* GoodMorningCrono: A non-game example; Tack's first scene is of him sleeping.
* HeroicMime[=/=]SilentProtagonist: In the original workprint and Recobbled Cut, he only says one line throughout the entire film. Averted in the Calvert and Miramax versions.
* NoMouth: His mouth is largely represented by the tacks he holds in his mouth.
* TiedTogetherShoelaceTrip: Pulls this off against one of Roofless' brigands.
* TitleHero: He's "the Cobbler" in the title.

[[folder: The Thief]]
!!!!!Voiced by: N/A (original), Ed E. Carroll (Allied Filmmakers), Creator/JonathanWinters (Miramax)
The other title character, a [[NoNameGiven nameless]] ''very'' persistent thief. His theft of the [[{{MacGuffin}} Three Golden Balls]] kicks off much of the plot.
----
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: He's greenish-brown.
* BornInTheTheater: At the end of the movie, he literally steals the film off of the projector and makes off with it.
* ButtMonkey[=/=]TheChewToy: ''Nothing'' goes right for him until the end.
* ClutchingHandTrap: At one point, he sees a bottle filled with jewels. Unfortunately, the jewels are too big for him to get past the opening. He won't let go of the diamond, even when the palace guards have him surrounded.
* DeadpanSnarker: His inner monologue as provided by Jonathan Winters in the "finished" versions. Tends to provoke a LoveItOrHateIt response, with some finding it obnoxious and distracting, while others think it (along with the animation) is the only thing that makes those cuts watchable
* {{Determinator}}: When he sees something shiny, there's no stopping him.
* EverythingTryingToKillYou: An old lady turns out to be a [[IKnowKarate martial artist]], a bed turns out to be a pack of giant, angry guard dogs, the polo players constantly hit him... and the giant war machine has such things as a giant flyswatter, a giant broom and a giant iron.
* FiveFingerDiscount: As openly stated in the Miramax cut, he'll steal ''anything''. In one scene, he actually picks his ''own'' pocket.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm[=/=]ScrewThisImOuttaHere: At the end of the workprint, when he has Tack and the golden balls cornered; having literally been through hell and back trying to get the balls, he decides the balls are more trouble than they're worth and walks off in a huff.
* NoNameGiven: He's simply referred to as "the Thief."
* NotDistractedByTheSexy: When he comes across [=YumYum=] bathing, he is less concerned about the nude woman in front of him and more concerned about her jewel-encrusted backscratchers.
* ThePigPen: He's constantly surrounded by flies, and both Tack and [=YumYum=] smell him on different occasions, the latter thinking that the smell must be coming from a backed up sewage pipe.
* TheVoiceless: Unlike Tack, he is ''completely'' silent throughout the original. In the other versions, [[SuddenlyVoiced not so much]].
