A young circus elephant is born with comically large ears and given the cruel nickname Dumbo. One day at a show, he is taunted by a group of kids, inciting his mother into a rage that gets her locked up. After Dumbo's ears cause an accident that injures many of the other elephants, he is made to dress like a clown and perform dangerous stunts. Everything changes when Dumbo discovers that his enormous ears actually allow him to fly, and he astounds everyone at the circus with his new talent.

Critics Consensus

Dumbo packs plenty of story into its brief runtime, along with all the warm animation and wonderful music you'd expect from a Disney classic.

Jake Wilson

The Age (Australia)

Though the character's eventual comic triumph is never in doubt, there are traumatic moments along the way, including an extraordinary, nightmarish drunk sequence that suggests the animators had early access to LSD.

Dumbo is one of Disney’s most efficiently told films, clocking in at just over one hour yet conveying such powerful notions on discrimination and motherhood.

Outside of the film's animation, there is little for the audience to truly appreciate outside of the film's more basic emotional swings.

Dumbo [is] a charming picture filled with marvelously conceived episodes. Despite this, Disney continues in it a development the problematic nature of which has grown more and more apparent since Snow-White.

Esperava mais do filme, ele é bem arrastado em algumas partes. Tem cenas inúteis que fazem você se perguntar se aquilo precisava estar ali. Mas é um filme divertido e muito bonito e triste

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Wasn't a huge fan. The animation feels like a step back from Pinocchio and Snow White respectively, while the story is overly short and has an extremely curt and short conclusion. The characters were likeable, I just wish it was longer. The negative racial and animal-abuse scenes are definitely there but still watchable.
