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.

    The five-minute hallucination that the baby elephant appeared after being drunk is really a stroke of genius. The wonderful imagination and animation are so touching. I give one more star.

Dumbo quotes

  • Ringmaster: Ladies and gentlemen, you have now seen the impossible accomplished in front of your faces. Seven jungle giants, each weighing not one ounce less than 4,500 pounds.

    Elephant Matriarch: [over the ringmaster's announcement] That windbag! Why doesn't he come to the point?

    Ringmaster: And now, I present to you the world's smallest little elephant, who will spring from this springboard in one spring to the top of the pyramid, waving his little flag for the grand climax! Ladies and gentlemen, I give you... Dumbo!

  • Timothy Q. Mouse: [leads Dumbo to the cage where Mrs. Jumbo is kept] Oh, right over there. Cozy little place, ain't it?

    [Timothy jumps on the window]

    Timothy Q. Mouse: Mrs. Jumbo! I hope she's in.

    [whistles]

    Timothy Q. Mouse: Someone to see ya!
