I would be fairly surprised if they didn't.  Disney has always recognized
the value of re-releases, more so than any other studio, so they always took
care of their prints, particularly of the animated films.  The original
negative is the original negative, and nothing since done to it would change
it, so the only question is whether they still have it.  Probably they do.

A minor point, but there would have to be great and numerous apologies if
they put the film out the way it was in 1939, since it was first released 
in 1940.  I doubt if Disney sat on it for any length of time, so it probably
was finished some time in 1940, not 1939.
