Review of Dumbo

Dumbo (1941)
4/10
Another Disney movie I found hard to like as a child.
8 July 2012
I think if I would describe this movie with one word it would be "depressing". It's hard to watch all these characters being so cruel to a little baby elephant who doesn't even have the voice to defend himself against it all. I disliked this movie as a child, because so much in this movie feels mean-spirited and upsetting. I remember thinking I was glad the movie was over, instead of actually being happy for the characters, since I was left with such a bad mood after all that had happened.

I also found the Pink Elephant Parade creepy and it really serves no point to the plot. As for the songs, I didn't really like them much. "Baby Mine" was the only one I truly liked.

The animation is great though.
