Review of Dumbo (1941) by Brunovn00 — 08 Jun 2019

Dumbo is an animated masterpiece. It's only 64 minutes long and it never feels too short, surprisingly. The animation is fantastic, I particularly like the pink elephants scene where the animation gets really mindblowing and surrealist making it to this date, one of the most unique animated sequences in any Disney movie and maybe in any animated movie ever.

The story is one of the best and most touching and heartwarming in any Disney movie and even in any animated movie ever, sure, this isn't an original screenplay, but still manages to be absolutely fantastic, you'll cry, you'll laugh, you'll be amazed by the animation, this movie has everything to be a near-perfect animated movie.

Not my favorite Disney movie ever, but it has my favorite Disney song ever: Baby Mine. Why is it my favorite? Simply because there's nothing better than the love of a mother, seriously, I can't listen to this song without crying, the lyrics and the bittersweet tone make the scene where it is played one of the best scenes in animation history, at least for me.

This is seriously a work of art and is one of the few animated movies that get near perfection. Every movie ever has a "but", some minor, some major, in this case the only thing that keeps this from being the perfect animated movie, is the weak character development, besides Dumbo, pretty much every other character feels more of a plot device, but that's the only issue I see from this.
