Description of this Dumbo Disney Poster
Dumbo is a 1941 American animated film produced by Walt Disney Productions and distributed by RKO Radio Pictures. Disney's fourth animated feature film, it is based on the story written by Helen Aberson and Harold Pearl, and illustrated by Helen Durney for the prototype toy ("Roll-a-Book").[4] 5] The main character is Jumbo Jr, an elephant who is cruelly nicknamed "Dumbo", as in "dumb". He is ridiculed for his large ears, but in fact he is able to fly using his ears as wings. For most of the film, his only real friend, aside from his mother, is the mouse Timothy – a relationship parodying the stereotypical animosity between mice and elephants.
Made to compensate for the financial losses of Pinocchio and Fantasia, Dumbo is a deliberate search for simplicity and economy for the Disney studios. At 64 minutes, it is one of Disney's shortest animated films. The sound was recorded conventionally with the RCA system. A voice was synthesized using the Sonovox system, but it was also recorded with the RCA system.
Dumbo was released on October 23, 1941, where it was met with generally favorable reviews,[6] but it was also criticized for its racist stereotypes of black people. In 2017, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress because it is "culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant".[7]
A live-action adaptation of the film directed by Tim Burton was released on March 29, 2019, although it did not achieve any critical or commercial success.
While a large circus spends the off-season in Florida's Winter Grounds, a flock of white storks deliver babies to the animals. An elephant, Mrs. Jumbo, does not receive her baby and continues to scan the sky. The circus leaves for a new tour, and a late stork catches up with the moving train and drops off the expected baby elephant, Jumbo Junior. The other elephants are initially delighted, until they notice that the baby has oversized ears, and quickly nickname him "Dumbo". However, Mrs. Jumbo shows her baby a lot of attention and love, defending him against the teasing of the other elephants.
Dumbo, clumsy because of his ears, is transformed into a circus attraction. When some rowdy boys start mauling Dumbo and his ears, Mrs. Jumbo spanks their leader and throws hay bales at them. The circus staff removes Dumbo from the enclosure, and Mrs. Jumbo flies into a rage, eventually dousing the ringmaster in a tub of water. She is then judged insane and locked in a cage. Dumbo is blamed for the incident and the other elephants avoid him.
Timothy, a mouse who travels with the circus, befriends Dumbo after scaring the other elephants and decides to make him a star. He whispers in the ringmaster's ear while he sleeps and convinces him to try a new stunt with Dumbo on top of an elephant pyramid. But Dumbo trips on his ears during the show and knocks over the pyramid, injuring the other elephants and causing the big top to collapse. After this, the other elephants exile Dumbo completely, and he is incorporated into the clowns' firefighting act, regularly jumping from a "burning building" prop into a vat of pie dough. Despite his newfound popularity, he hates his job and becomes depressed.
Timothy decides to take Dumbo to see Mrs. Jumbo, but they cannot see each other's faces and can only intertwine their trunks. Meanwhile, the clowns decide to increase the popularity of their fireman act by dangerously raising the platform from which Dumbo jumps. To celebrate this plan, they drink champagne, a bottle of which falls into a vat of water. Dumbo, who cries after visiting his mother, has hiccups. So Timothy takes him to get some water in the tank. Both get drunk and have hallucinations of pink elephants.
Dumbo and Timothy are then discovered sleeping at the top of a tree by Dandy Crow and his friends. After initially mocking Timothy's claim that Dumbo flew with his ears when he was drunk, the crows are soon moved by Dumbo's sad story. They decide to help Timothée by giving him a "magic feather" to help Dumbo fly. Holding the feather, Dumbo flies away a second time and he and Timothy return to the circus with the intention of surprising the audience.
During the clowns' act, Dumbo jumps off the platform and prepares to fly. He drops the feather, but Timothy assures him that it was only psychological help, and Dumbo manages to fly under the big top, much to the joy of the audience, and throws peanuts at the other elephants in revenge. Dumbo gains fame and fortune, Timothy becomes his new manager and signs him to a Hollywood contract, and Mrs. Jumbo is released. She and Dumbo are given a private carriage on the train, and the crows greet the departing elephants.
