The Night On Bald Mountain sequence was cut from the film when originally released on video. When the sequence was shown in 1940 the studio was overrun with calls and letters from parents who complained that the sequence scared their children. It has since been restored to its original place in the film on subsequent home video releases.

Time Travel Question 66: 20th Century and Earlier

These Questions are the result of suggestions from the previous iteration.

This category may include suggestions made too late to fall into the correct grouping.

Please add new suggestions below if you have them for future consideration.

People suggested a lot of different ones. Feel free to put your favorite in the notes. There was no consensus as to which in the first round, and by the time I realized I should do a separate poll it was far, far too late and it would have taken hours to go through all the notes. If you suggest enough, I'll make one now.

After his mother is taken away, Dumbo is seen standing on his own, swaying sadly from side to side. This is actually an accurate depiction of what elephants do when they are emotionally distraught. x
