10 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Dumbo (1941)

10. It Has Rare Animation Cels

It would truly be a rare find to get your hands on an animation cel from Dumbo. At the time of production, animation cels weren't considered anything valuable and the artists weren't too cautious when preserving their work.

In actuality, animators went to the extreme in destroying the cels. After the scene was officially "in the can", they would take the finished cels and slide across the hallways with them (for whatever reason why).

Furthermore, Dumbo had a unique type of paint used for the art work that was often prone to flaking and wouldn’t last long, adding to the rarity of the movie's animation cels.
