In the wake of closure, a digital archive of animated materials appears online
5 hours ago
- Tippett Studios, founded by Phil Tippett, closed in August due to financial troubles, with props sold at auction.
- An anonymous donor bought a folder of CD-ROMs at the auction and uploaded digitized disc images to the Internet Archive.
- The archive includes .ISO files of 90 non-duplicated discs, containing test clips, interviews, behind-the-scenes images from Star Wars, RoboCop, Starship Troopers, and more.
- The preservation ensures decades of film history remain publicly accessible, preventing loss to private collections.
