The very short movie about an elephant who overcomes adversity in the circus.
I am sure I am in the minority here, but I do not think Dumbo is that great of a movie by modern standards. I understand the importance of appreciating a movie for its time, but I also realize that I am watching a film in 2023, and I can't pretend that there are better films. I get that many modern films only exist because Dumbo was a mild success in its time, but I find there is little that stands the test of time. The protagonist is not very compelling, things just happen to him. The big climax happens in like the last 5 minutes. The animation is aged. The Pink Elephants on Parade while memorable, feels so out of place. It is simply an okay movie.
Most people will enjoy it. But I wouldn't really recommend it to those who haven't seen it.
