Reply to comment by Ringlovo in Got this piece of Toy Story Film Strip for my birthday yesterday by RareSun_

How do you know? There's no scenes from this trailer that got scrapped from the final movie.

More than anything, it's how very strictly controlled the prints for these films were, and how exceedingly rare it would be for reel of this film to wind up in private collection, much less how unlikely for the owner to dice it up.

Correct. Now movie theatres get them on hard drives that requires mfa and a unique code to start it. Old film like this was tracked like the devil Screeners sent to companies or people are also tracked so they know whose exact copy got leaked if they ever do

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say but, but this film strip is likely cut from a trailer. Studios send a trailer to movie theaters, they don’t ask for those back. Studios send a feature film to movie theaters, those are on loan and have to be returned TO THE STUDIO once the film has had its run. Sometimes, they are sent to second hand theaters for a run. If you were talking about, I dunno, The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, I’d reckon you’d have an actual run film. What’s cool is it’s still apart of history right?
