Dumbo Soars At The Box Office

After suffering a setback because of poor initial grosses from Pinocchio and Fantasia, Walt Disney decided to make a low-budget feature to recoup some of the earlier losses. Dumbo, made for a minimal $800,000, did just that, grossing more than $2.5 million on its first release in 1941.

		After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, a picture of Japanese General Yamamoto bumped Dumbo off the cover of "Time" magazine.
		Its clear-cut characters and succinct story – and running time of 63 minutes – made Dumbo a bargain to make – just $812,000.
		Like Dopey in Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs, Dumbo never utters a single word.
		Animator Bill Tytla modeled Dumbo after his 2-year-old son Peter.
		The movie contains the studio's first surrealistic sequence, "Pink Elephants On Parade," who appear after Dumbo swallows a basinful of champagne.
