The treatment the other characters, the elephants and humans, gave Dumbo was very saddening. Typical bullying that is ever present to one who is a little different and can't really help it.
'Baby Of Mine' might be Disney's saddest song, as Dumbo's locked away mother can only get her trunk around Dumbo to show her love for the son she has not been able to see for some time. Saddens me just thinking and typing about it!
On a happier note, Dumbo the elephant is very sweet and the 'Pink Elephants On Parade' sequence is great - so interesting, so strange! I like it when animated films brave unsettling scenes more, although that sequence did scare me when I was younger!
It's not my favourite Disney film, yet I acknowledge it as a special little 'classic' as the earlier Disney films were all special.
