Fandor became the first platform to offer an HD version of the film for home exhibition in the Fall of 2018. After the company reorganized in late 2019, they no longer carried any content provided by the Henson Company. The library-based subscription service Kanopy began offering Time Piece in HD on October 19, 2021, however, the print shows significant differences to the version carried by Fandor in 2018.
This page serves to compare screenshots of the various prints made available in high definition (HD) by Fandor and Kanopy, and in standard definition (SD) on the Henson Company's YouTube channel, the previously commercially available version on iTunes, and copies of the film used for event screenings prior to the 2018 restoration.
