Dumbo.

 

                                                      Dumbo.

I love this movie a lot, I watched this when I was little and loved every 

second of it. The story and animation is so perfect, there isn't a bad part 

in it at all. If you are looking for a movie you and your entire family can 

enjoy together, this is it. It tells a story about an elephant that is bullied 

cause of his ears but he meets a little mouse that becomes his best 

friend and one that looks out for him and in the end Dumbo becomes the 

most famous flying elephant in history. So, with that, lets get to the 

story shall we:

Upon the passing of winter, in 1941, a flock of storks deliver babies 

to circus animals within the "Winter Quarters" in Florida. All the mothers 

receive their parcels before departure except the elephant Mrs. Jumbo. 

During travel, a lost stork brings her an elephant who, to the other 

elephants' surprise, is adorned with extraordinarily large ears. He is 

made an object of ridicule and given the nickname "Dumbo". Mrs. Jumbo 

attempts to remain dignified and treats her child with all her maternal 

love, but when a group of rascals takes to mocking Dumbo, Mrs. Jumbo 

catches one of them with her trunk and spanks him. The 

circus ringmaster deems Mrs. Jumbo mad and has her locked in a cage. 

The lone Dumbo is made a pariah amongst the rest of the circus troupe. 

A small mouse named Timothy consoles Dumbo and vows to make him a 

star.

After being secretly encouraged by Timothy, the ringmaster makes 

Dumbo the top of an elephant pyramid stunt. The performance goes 

awry when Dumbo trips over his ears and misses his target, causing the 

other elephants to suffer various injuries, and bring down the big top. 

Dumbo is made into a clown as a result, to the shame of the other 

elephants, and plays the main role in an act that involves him falling into 

a vat of pie filling. Despite his newfound popularity and fame, Dumbo 

hates this job, and is now more miserable than ever. To cheer Dumbo up, 

Timothy takes him to visit his imprisoned mother. The two are unable to 

see each other face to face, and can only entwine trunks. On the way 

back, Dumbo cries and then gets the hiccups, so Timothy takes him for a 

drink of water from a bucket that, unknown to them, has accidentally 

had a bottle of champagne spilled into it by the clowns. As a result, 

Dumbo and Timothy both get drunk and have 

surreal hallucinations of pink elephants.

The next morning, Dumbo and Timothy are awakened by a group 

of crows who are surprised to find an elephant sitting on the highest 

branches of a tree. As the initial astonishment passes, Timothy surmises 

that Dumbo had managed to achieve flight using his large ears as wings. 

Timothy persuades an insecure Dumbo to use this gift with the support 

of the crows' leader, who gives Dumbo one of his feathers and convinces 

him that it carries magic properties that will allow him to fly. Back at the 

circus, Timothy proposes to Dumbo to transform his clown act into a 

flying performance. As Dumbo unfolds his ears during the plummet, he 

loses the feather and panics. Timothy quickly confesses that the feather 

was never magical, and that he is still able to fly. Dumbo is able to pull 

out of the dive and flies around the circus, finally striking back at his 

tormentors as a stunned audience looks on in amazement. After this 

performance, Dumbo becomes a media sensation, Timothy becomes his 

manager and the new owner of the circus, Dumbo and Mrs. Jumbo are 

given a private car on the circus train, and while the sentient train Casey 

Jr. travels to the next destination, Mrs. Jumbo, Dumbo and the crows 

wave goodbye in the distance, with the little elephant's new friends 

wishing him good luck.
