Dumbo II

File:Dumbo II - 2001 Behind-the-Scenes Trailer

Dumbo II was the planned sequel to Dumbo that was directed by Robert C. Ramirez, director of the Dreamworks' film Joseph: King of Dreams. It was scheduled to be released in 2001 but was delayed for many years until production was cancelled by John Lasseter after he was named CEO of Walt Disney Animation Studios in early 2006. The trailer to the film can be found on the 2001 VHS and DVD release of the Dumbo: 60th Anniversary Edition.

The live action Dumbo movie by Tim Burton will include elements from the sequel.

Plot[]

Taking place specifically one day after the events of the first film, the story would have involved Dumbo, Timothy Q. Mouse and a host of other baby animals, each of whom reprsented a different stage of childhood, getting separated in NYC. While trying to find their way back, each character learned how to fix his or her faults.

Characters[]

In addition to Dumbo, Timothy and Mrs. Jumbo reappearing, Dumbo II was to have featured the following characters:

Penny: An ostrich who was jealous of Dumbo because he could fly and she couldn't.

Godfry: A hippo who was older than all his companions and insisted on doing everything independently as a result.

Dot: A zebra who was constantly curious and had a habit of exclaming "why" repeatedly.

Claude and Lolly (Alternatively Sophia and Ivan): Two bear cubs who always wanted to do things in a hurry, often ending up with a mess as a result.

Animal Control Officer: An unnamed, evil Animal Control Officer who pursued Dumbo and his friends while they tried to get back to the circus.
