Getting Schooled: Dumbo's Circus (1985)

 Back when the Disney Channel was a premium service, they mined the Disney vaults to develop original series based on existing properties.

One such example was Dumbo's Circus. More than 40 years after the movie, Dumbo has grown up to own his own circus, teaching the kids about circus life. The series marked the return of ex-Mouseketeer Sharon Baird to Disney, and she brought with her some of her colleagues from her days with the Kroffts, including Van Snowden, Patty Mahoney (ex-Far Out Space Nuts), and voice actor Walker Edmiston, who'd done some projects for Disney previously, as did Hal Smith.

Let's check a sample episode:

Unfortunately, one season's worth of original episodes were produced, and the series went off the air after a couple of rerun cycles in 1987. Today, the series sits in the Disney vaults.

No rating. Just a public service.
