Deceptively simple, beautiful, moving, & hilarious, DUMBO is often overlooked when considering Disneys greatest films because perhaps of its lack of extravagance, its brief running time, & its simple story. Baby elephant Jumbo Jr. is delivered by the stork to his elephant mother with much fanfare but soon receives a cold shoulder from the snobby female pachyderms & the rest of the circus due to his oversize ears. When his mother goes on a rampage in order to protect him from some snickering rubes, she winds up locked away. Dumbo is left without a friend in the world until the street-smart Timothy Mouse decides to become his manager & a telephone line full of delightful jive-talking crows convince him he can fly. Highlights include Dumbo accidentally getting drunk & experiencing the surreal musical sequence Pink Elephants on Parade & a soundtrack packed with such priceless songs as the Oscar-winning Baby Mine & the crows soulful number, When I see an Elephant Fly. Theres nary an imperfect moment to be found in this raucous, tender, sublime film, which has been delighting audiences for generations.
