Very interesting article and video from last month talk with Ron Gilbert. They went over the source code of Monkey Island and some unused content:

It's insane, these cutscenes were fully restored by them, as well as one room in MI1. Everything is there.
Honestly, I DO hope that the team somehow gets into contact with these guys and asks if the restored cutscenes could be implemented into ScummVM as an option. It would be a shame to let this go to waste when all of the resources are already present.
