What's left behind the scenes

  • Initially, Walt Disney Studios did not want to make this cartoon. Joe Grant and Dick Huemer left a piece of the script on Disney's desk every morning until he finally gave in and ran to the screenwriters with the words: "Great! What happens next?"
  • "Dumbo" and "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937) are the only classic Walt Disney animated films where the backgrounds were painted in watercolor. This was a cheaper material than oil and gouache, which were used in the films "Pinocchio" (1940) and "Bambi" (1942). Watercolor would not be used again until the work on "Fantasia 2000" (1999).
  • Live elephants were once brought to the studio grounds to allow the animators to study their movements.
  • Very few of the celluloid frame blanks for the animated film have survived. Once a scene was completed, the animators spread them out on the floor in the studio corridor and rolled around on them. This is how many celluloid blanks were destroyed.
