I certainly appreciate the nostalgic/historic tragedy. I wish somebody'd open a museum of stop-motion animation and display the sets and figures for these things. Imagine how cool that'd be!

According to the article in today's Variety, they're most upset about the loss of ALL the heavily-notated storyboards for all the films up thru Wererabbit.

Beyond the loss of the art and materials, this turns out to be a big hit for them financially - as they used to conduct tours through the facility. With so much of the exhibition materials now gone forever, this side of the business may be over for the forseeable future.
