Dumbo

30 years later

look again

Stories I read when I was 3 years old

that mood

still full of innocence

happy, fly like a baby elephant

After five weeks around the field, it landed in a hurry

Those big ears dragged to the ground

Maybe it was cumbersome at first, it was ugly

once fly

become the wings of a dream

light as a feather

At 3 years old I could memorize the whole story

Now, the most wonderful child delivery stork

was deleted

Sorry, a little joy, a little regret

A little sigh, a little desolate

in each of us

Actually, there is an elephant

just some people

never fly

Dumbo quotes

  • Holt Farrier: [as he, Milly, and Joe slowly approach Dumbo, hiding underneath a pile of straw] Don't be scared.

    [diminishing to a whisper as he squats down in front of the straw pile]

    Holt Farrier: Don't be scared now; your momma's right outside.

  • [first lines]

    Max Medici: Come on, time to go. We haven't got all day. Get that monkey on the train. The Medici Brothers' circus is taking off!
