Oh cool! It’s not a big change but certainly one that should be preserved. If you look into how much it would cost to clean and scan that reel I might just have to help fund it 😃
I have a bit of a strange update with you, but I still have a way to preserve the change. Throughout the past few day I was trying to see if I could get some restoration done on the reel, and I first went to a small theater to see if I could get my can played.
And, it was pretty bad. A lot of damage was done to the physical film, with most of the film having this weird marble effect. Fortunately, I could still see the order of all the sequences, and using that I can take scenes from the theatrical trailers to recreate that change.
I will try to do some digging into finding better reels of AOTC, but for now I can splice up the trailers to make the original scene. Also, I’m really sorry for the late reply, life got in the way of things but I should be free for a while now.
