Production on the film was interrupted on May 29, 1941, when much of the Disney animation staff went on strike. Kimball chose to not to strike, but his close friend Walt Kelly, who was an assistant animator helping him on the crow sequence, left the studios shortly after for reasons unrelated to the strike. [19] Some have interpretied the clowns' requests to get a raise from their boss being a reference to the Disney animators that went on strike in 1941 (during the creation of the film), demanding higher pay from Walt himself. [20] However, Art Babbitt, animator and organizer behind the strike, denied this claiming he had been assigned to animate the sequence before the strike. "People attached political significance to what happened there. You know, 'Let's go on strike' and so on. We weren't thinking strike at the time. In fact, there never would have been a strike if it hadn't been forced on us." [21] [22] MusicAFI's 10 Top 10 Nominees" (PDF). Archived from the original on July 16, 2011 .

Along with Alice in Wonderland, Dumbo was the first of Disney's canon of animated films to be released on home video. The film was originally released on June 26, 1981, on VHS and Betamax, which was followed with a release on Laserdisc and CED in June 1982. [26] It was again re-released on VHS and Betamax as part of the Walt Disney Classics series on November 6, 1985. [27] The film was re-released on VHS and Laserdisc on July 12, 1991.

In June 2009, Disneyland introduced a flying Dumbo to their nighttime fireworks show, in which the elephant flies around Sleeping Beauty Castle while fireworks synched to music go off. [82]

Dumbo

The abundant grain that plagued the last release has been significantly reduced, though not entirely eliminated. The transfer is obviously darker, a change that seems to be for the better, given the wider color range. The animation flows smoothly from one frame to the next with coloration that is richer and seemingly more accurate in most scenes. There are, however, exceptions, the most notable of which comes in the "Pink Elephants on Parade" sequence, where the elephants aren't quite as pink as they were before. It's unlikely that the animators intended their pink to look so pale. But then, they'd likely be pleased to find that Dumbo no longer looks like a product of pencil shading, as his darker gray skin seems more appropriate in the new transfer.
