Editing Dumbo (section)

===Cancelled sequel===
In 2001, the "60th Anniversary Edition" DVD of ''Dumbo'' featured a sneak peek of the proposed sequel ''Dumbo II'', including new character designs and storyboards. Robert C. Ramirez (''[[Joseph: King of Dreams]]'') was to direct the sequel, in which Dumbo and his circus friends navigated a large city after being left behind by their traveling circus. ''Dumbo II'' also sought to explain what happened to Dumbo's father, Mr. Jumbo. Dumbo's circus friends included the chaotic twin bears Claude and Lolly, the curious zebra Dot, the older, independent hippo Godfry, and the adventurous ostrich Penny. The animals were metaphors for the different stages of childhood.<ref name="Armstrong">{{cite news|last=Armstrong|first=Josh|url=http://animatedviews.com/2013/from-snow-queen-to-pinocchio-ii-robert-reeces-animated-adventures-in-screenwriting/|title=From ''Snow Queen'' to ''Pinocchio II'': Robert Reece's animated adventures in screenwriting|website=Animated Views|date=April 22, 2013|access-date=May 4, 2013|archive-date=April 16, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190416133218/http://animatedviews.com/2013/from-snow-queen-to-pinocchio-ii-robert-reeces-animated-adventures-in-screenwriting/|url-status=live}}</ref> ''Dumbo II'' was supposed to be set on the day immediately following the end of the first ''Dumbo'' movie.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.geocities.com/jmraises/other/otherdumboII.html|title=Dumbo II|archive-url=https://archive.today/20091026045435/http://www.geocities.com/jmraises/other/otherdumboII.html|archive-date=October 26, 2009|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}</ref> [[John Lasseter]] cancelled ''Dumbo II'',<ref name="Armstrong"/> soon after being named Chief Creative Officer of [[Walt Disney Animation Studios]] in 2006.<ref>{{cite news|last=Hill|first=Jim|url=http://jimhillmedia.com/editor_in_chief1/b/jim_hill/archive/2007/06/21/say-so-long-to-direct-to-video-sequels-disneytoon-studios-tunes-out-sharon-morrill.aspx|title=Say "So Long!" to direct-to-video sequels: DisneyToon Studios tunes out Sharon Morrill|website=Jim Hill Media|date=April 22, 2007|access-date=January 3, 2012|archive-date=August 21, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100821112636/http://jimhillmedia.com/editor_in_chief1/b/jim_hill/archive/2007/06/21/say-so-long-to-direct-to-video-sequels-disneytoon-studios-tunes-out-sharon-morrill.aspx|url-status=live}}</ref>
