Surviving Copies
There are only three copies known to exist. The first copy was sold in 2001 for a decidedly small fee of $100; the second copy was sold for £170, and the third copy was sold in 2014 for $7,500. None of them have been ripped for the Internet so far, and the cartoon was not aired on television because of it, allegedly, "wasn't high-quality enough".
It seems that the copies may include only 3 minutes of the short (a bit less than half of it), so if this is true, then rest of the short may be permanently gone. Though some sources claim, it will be released on a Blu-Ray release of Pinocchio coming in January 2017.
