Description of this Dumbo 1941 Poster
Dumbo is an animated feature film by Walt Disney Pictures. Based on the children’s book of the same name by Helen Aberson and illustrated by Harold Pearl, Dumbo was produced by Walt Disney and released on October 23, 1941, by RKO Radio Pictures. The main character is Jumbo Jr., a small elephant who is cruelly nicknamed Dumbo (dumb means both “idiot” and, disparagingly, “moron”) and is ridiculed for his large ears, although he discovers he can fly using them as wings. His only friend is Timothy the mouse, parodying elephants’ stereotypical terror of rodents. The film Dumbo was made to recoup the financial losses of Fantasia. It was a deliberate exercise in simplicity and economy on the part of the Disney studio, and is now considered an animated classic. At 64 minutes, it is one of Disney’s shortest animated films. In 2017, it was added to the Library of Congress’s National Film Registry. The film begins when storks deliver several baby animals to the animals of Casey Jr.’s circus. The next day, as the circus animals are being transported on a circus train, the elephant Ms. Jumbo receives her baby from a stork. The baby elephant quickly becomes the butt of jokes from the other elephants because of his big ears, and they name him “Shaman.” Once the circus is set up, Ms. Jumbo loses patience with a group of rude boys who make fun of Dumbo, leading to him being labeled a dangerous animal. The elephant and Dumbo are separated. Without his mother, Dumbo is left alone. Timothy the mouse becomes his best friend.
The master of ceremonies has Dumbo participate in the elephant pyramid act by having him stand on top, but Dumbo causes the act to go off the rails, injuring the others and bringing down the big top. Dumbo is forced to change activities and become a clown. His act ends with the little elephant falling into a bathtub of soapy water. Despite his popularity and fame, Dumbo is mocked by the other elephants and the audience.
To cheer Dumbo up, Timothy takes him to visit his mother. On the way home, Timothy and Dumbo drink water from a bucket into which a bottle of champagne the clowns were drinking has accidentally fallen. They are both drunk and have hallucinations of the pink elephants.
The next morning, Dumbo and Timothy wake up in a tree. Timothy wonders how they got to the tree and concludes that Dumbo flew there with his large, wing-like ears. With the help of a group of mocking crows, Timothy manages to get Dumbo to fly again, using the psychological trick of the “magic feather” to boost his confidence. Back at the circus, Dumbo has to perform another trick: jumping from a much higher platform. On the way down, a terrified Dumbo drops the feather. Timothy reassures him that the feather was never magic, that he can still fly. Thanks to this, Dumbo is able to fly around the circus, watched by the amazed audience. After this performance, Dumbo becomes a media sensation, Timothy becomes his manager, and Dumbo and his mother get a private car on the circus train.
