(Blu-ray, Walt Disney)
A baby elephant in a circus is ridiculed for his big ears. When his mother defends him from hecklers during a parade, she is deemed mad and locked up alone in wagon. The abandoned Dumbo is befriended by a mouse determined to cheer him up by making him the star of the show. He does just that after discovering his big ears allow him to fly. An early Disney animated classic which includes the psychedelic-tinged "pink elephants" segment. The animation is not up to par with the other Disney classics, but the simple style allows the characterizations to shine.
