Amazing animation and predictable plot

This is maybe the shortest Disney feature-length animated film, with only sixty-four minutes run-time. Therefore, as you can imagine, the story in it is rather simple. Not only that, the plot is also predictable in the sense that it is just a story that a down-on-his-luck protagonist works all his way up and finally makes it.

However, the animation, although uncomplicated, is truly amazing. The titular character Dumbo is one of the most influential animated characters of all time. Also, the parade sequence of the pink elephants is pretty impressive.

    Everyone has the right to dream - and elephants are no exception.

    The "montage" of blowing bubbles to the clouds is full of imagination. Other than that, watching the movie is not very comfortable. On the one hand, the animation itself is a bit outdated, and on the other hand, the connotation of the text is very decadent. The circus culture preaching and the potential enslavement and brainwashing narrative, I am afraid that only in such a young-oriented animation will it not cause the audience's fierce rejection. ★★★
