Yes, the witch scene was clearly animated (and presumably finished, apart from probably Nura/Meemee's part) as we see it there, and then reworked mostly in editing to include Tack/Yumyum instead.
Very strange original punchline to it. Note that the witch doesn't blow herself up either.
So, only something like two Williams-animated changes from the original then. We do see the witch pull Tack to the ground, which would have been reanimated from a shot of her pulling herself up onto the Beast, and we see her blow herself up (and meet the Thief).
The rest only filled in by Calvert really.

It was interesting to find out why the emerald scene has more footage (as seen in the Princess credits). It also explains why the Thief looks like such an old design while the bordering scenes have him revised. I wonder if Williams intended to re-do that scene to make it match the Thief in the rest of the film. It's not too obvious, but what gives the age away is the stiffness of the pan when the Thief dumps out all his stolen goods. All the other pans and tilts are much smoother.
