Assuming the cels weren't lost or destroyed. Or auctioned off to fans/collectors, as was often done: https://www.animationconnection.com/original-production-cels https://www.animationconnection.com/original-production-cels In fact there's an episode of the Simpson's where Bart buys an Itchy & Scratchy animation cel and is disappointed when it's just a segment of Itchy's arm (or something like that). EDIT: https://simpsonswiki.com/wiki/Itchy_%26_Scratchy_animation_cel https://simpsonswiki.com/wiki/Itchy_%26_Scratchy_animation_c... The cel had Scratchy's arm, and it was in the episode "Lady Bouvier's Lover" (S05 E21).

Guilty as charged! This brings back a memory from around 1980. I ordered an animation cel from Original Animation Art (Starshine Group). You had to mail them a check and a description of what you were looking for, and hope for the best. The first one they sent me was a little bit better than Scratchy's arm, but not by much. I returned it and asked for something with the entire character in it. They sent Daffy Duck nearly off the edge of the frame with a nasty scowl. Not fun to look at. For the third try, I asked if I could please have something with the character smiling and in the center of the frame. And they sent a wonderful cel of Porky Pig from A Connecticut Rabbit in King Arthur's Court! It looks very much like this one, but only Porky and not the background: https://www.comic-mint.com/chuck-jones/a-connecticut-rabbit-in-king-arthurs-court-1978-directed-by-chuck-jones https://www.comic-mint.com/chuck-jones/a-connecticut-rabbit-... That cel must have been from the same scene as mine, as some elements of it are identical, particularly his right hand holding the torch. Many years later I bought the DVD of this movie, stepped through it and found the exact frame with my cel. Too cool!
