<<I agree! I suppose at the time they just didn't think there'd ever be any
reason anybody would want the footage. They thought, well, we didn't use it,
so out it goes!>>
<<It reminds me of the sad fate of most of the original animation cels from
the early Walt Disney movies. Once they were photographed, the cels were
either wiped clean to be reused later or burned, to save the trouble of
storing them. Some were sold for a few dollars as souvenirs at the theme
parks, until it was realized how valuable they were.>>

The studios recorded over the original tapes.
