Dumbo

Dumbo is a Walt Disney animated film, first released in 1941.

The film is about Jumbo, Jr., a young circus elephant nicknamed "Dumbo" due to his huge ears. Despite ridicule and humiliation, and with the help of a talking mouse named Timothy and a group of talking crows led by one named Dandy Crow, Dumbo discovers that he can fly using his giant ears, and becomes the star of the circus. The opening scene (showing the circus's "Winter Quarters") is a nod to Venice, Florida, where John Ringling lived and where his circus would actually relocate during the winter.

A "woke" live-action remake/retelling/reimagining directed by Tim Burton was released in early 2019, showing a more human-centered story than the 1941 film. However, it did not do well at the box office and was largely given poor ratings compared to the 1941 classic.
