Dumbo
From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.
Dumbo (first released on October 23, 1941) is an animated film, produced by Walt Disney. The main character is Jumbo Jr., an anthropomorphic elephant who is cruelly nicknamed Dumbo. He is ridiculed for his big ears, but it turns out that he is capable of flying by using them as wings. His only friend is the mouse Timothy.
Like Dopey in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Dumbo never utters a single word.
Voice actors include the perennial Sterling Holloway in a cameo role as Mr. Stork, and Cliff Edwards, better known as the voice of Jiminy Cricket, as Jim Crow, the ringleader of a raucous crowd of crows.
When Timothy Q. Mouse falls into a vat of hooch, the "Pink Elephants on Parade" drunk sequence that follows is quite hallucinatory, surreal, and widely considered a classic of animation.
