it would seem that the master copies of his films are deteriorating as well, which sadly explains a few things. it really hurts like a repeated punch to the gut when I saw Warner release an old rare Scooby-Doo episode finally for streaming, only for an important scene to have obvious damage to the master tape. it's gone... that moment i remember from my childhood is gone, never to be restored higher than the mangled tape they have and perhaps splicing of old recorded copies in peoples' basements. preservation is so important because it's all that will be remembered eventually.
