Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The original 1941 Dumbo was only 64 minutes—Burton's version nearly doubles that runtime with added human subplots.
The controversial 'Song of the Roustabouts' and racist crow characters were excised, but Burton's corporate villain arguably comments on Disney itself.
