Clips from the theatrical cut are shown, as well as many of the "deleted" scenes from the film's long production

Art's work on the film is discussed

The chase between Robin and Mod appears to be based on the one from the film, down to the geometrick design.

According to Tomm Moore, "Some friends in college and I were inspired by Richard Williams' unfinished masterpiece The Thief and the Cobbler (1993) and the Disney movie Mulan (1998), which took indigenous traditional art as the starting point for a beautiful style of 2D animation. I felt that something similar could be done with Irish art, especially the beautiful tradition of Celtic knotwork that is so popular today."

The subject of the documentary

Part of the war machine sequence modeled after Babylonian battle.

The awning fall is copied in one scene.

In "March of the One Eyes" scene, close-ups of feet marching along, with weapons extended. Similar editing.

Hardy stepping on a tack was used as reference for when Zig-Zag does so.

Shot of Tack and the Thief running down stairs is exactly the same as a shot of Pinky running down stairs in Duck Soup - frame-by-frame exact in movement, down to Tack sliding on the floor and jumping just like Pinky.
