I may take note of something that occured in the 1940s. When Tex Avery was doing his Red Hot Riding Hood cartoons, somebody broke into MGM's cartoon studio and stole some inked and painted cels of Red. Preston Blair, who animated Red for those shorts, still had his original roughs, so they merely had to clean them up, re-ink and repaint those drawings. Blair said he was honored: "Red was worth stealing. Wow!"
