Conclusion: Your Next Step into the Archive

• Trailers and official promotional videos: Often found on studio sites and YouTube; archived pages and embedded players are captured by the Wayback Machine, though embedded third-party videos may not be preserved as playable.

• Reviews and news coverage: Film reviews, festival coverage, and industry commentary were crawled and archived, providing a snapshot of contemporary critical reception.
• Fan content and paratexts: Fan blogs, forums, and social-media posts (Tumblr, early Instagram/ Twitter reactions) were partially archived and reflect grassroots reception.
• Full-film availability: Commercial animated features are normally not hosted on IA unless uploaded by rightsholders or by mistake; uploads generally attract DMCA notices and removal.
