| In the third century BC, Hannibal dragged 37 elephants through the Alps to intimidate the Romans. “Many fell off the cliffs, but they terrified people along the way,” says Hannibal v. Rome director Richard Bedser. Here’s what he needed to make a film with Dumbos. |

No dudes
“We had three female elephants on our set in the Alps,” Bedser says. “I’ve worked with horses before and often when there are male and female horses, the male has five legs permanently. These three were very well behaved.”
Computers
“To create the other 34 in the herd, we took photos of our three and created 3-D elephants from them,” Bedser says. “Some parts of the Alps we could get to only by cable car, so the animals in those shots are all fakes.”
Sanitation
“We woke up to the elephants trumpeting,” Bedser says. “Then they’d eat and take a dump. We had to get a trailer for the waste. For clean-up, it was all hands to the shovel.”
