This Iconic Disney Classic Never Got a Sequel, but Its Lost Trailer Shows What We Almost Had

In the early 2000s, Disney's strategy included fewer remakes but many more sequels. Yet these were not major theatrical releases; they were direct-to-video sequels that not only continued the more recent Disney Renaissance films, going back to some of the company's biggest classics. Cinderella, The Jungle Book, Peter Pan, and many other films got a continuation, but one of Disney's best films did not receive the same treatment: Dumbo. Dumbo had good company in this, with memorable films like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, and The Aristocats never got an official sequel, but Dumbo is unique in how close it came.
