    "What's the matter with his ears? I don't see nothin' wrong with 'em. I think they're cute."

    Short and sweet. It's amazing how much of the story is told only through music, actions and expressions since Dumbo never says a single word. Everyone gets a different message from a D...( read more)isney movie, Dumbo (in my opinion so don't shout at me) was saying 'no matter what people say, be proud to be yourself and you'll fly' aww. The 'Baby Mine' scene always makes me cry ='(

    as a kid - i used to be scared of Dumbo's dream and all those bubbles coming to life

    A childhood staple. Who didn't cry when Dumbo was being held in his mother's trunk after she was put in the cage. This movie showed what Disney USED to be, which was a company that put out great family movies and wasn't hellbent on taking over the world like the Nazis.

    a brilliant film with such an upsetting story, especially when Dumbo is rocked by his mum. However ther'es not much depth but its hillarious and quite psychadelic with Dumbo getting drunk and all the elephants.

    A classic in my mind.

    I think I was the only kid that liked the whole elephants on parade part and wasn't scared.
