Raiders of The Lost Media - Dumbo II


Disclaimer: I could be wrong on some details. So take this post with a grain of salt.

Well now that I'm done with Thor: Ragnarok it's time to take a short break from superheroes before Justice League comes out and talk about an abandoned sequel that being Dumbo II which was scheduled to be released in 2001.






Part One - The Premise


Dumbo II would have taken place one day after the events of the first movie. The plot would have involved Dumbo, Timothy Q. Mouse, and a bunch of baby animals each of whom represented a different stage of childhood. Then they all would of gotten separated in New York City, while trying to find their way back each character would have learned to fix their own flaws.



Part Two - List of Characters


Three of the characters would have been Dumbo, Timothy, and Mrs. Jumbo. Other characters would have been the baby animals that being Penny an ostrich who is jealous of Dumbo because he can fly and she can't, Godfry a hippo who is older than the other animals and insist on doing everything by himself, Dot a zebra who is always curious and has a habit of saying why?, and Claude and Lolly (whose names were once going to be Sophia and Ivan) were twin bear cubs who always do things in a hurry which often ends in disaster. The only confirmed human character would have been an evil animal control officer who chases Dumbo and company around New York while they're trying to get back home.



Part Three - The Crew


I have a small list of the crew members for this movie and what their jobs were. The list goes


Robert Ramirez - Director


Joe Grant - Writer


Burny Mattinson - Head of Story


Jeannine Roussel - Producer


Sharon Morrill - Executive Vice Producer



Part Four - Cancellation


Now there's a very simple reason to why Dumbo II was cancelled and never released to the public. The reason is when Pixar founder John Lasseter was hired to be Chief Creative Officer of Walt Disney Animation Studios he shut production down.




Part Five - Is It Finished?


Many people have speculated that the movie was finished and does exist. The main reason being a behind the scenes trailer. The reason people use this as evidence because these are usually made after a film is made. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpac3C3P76Q




So I hoped you enjoyed another Raiders of The Lost Media. I'm going to do another one of these and this time I go back to the land of lost video games.
