    Fun fact: the psychological effect that Timothy the mouse uses to convince Dumbo he can fly with the feather is called “the placebo effect”.
    Basically the feather doesn’t do anything. But because Dumbo believes the feather helps him fly, that gives him the confidence to do it. He always had the ability but lacked the confidence and impetus to try.

If an animal hurts a human you have every right to defend yourself because humans are more important than animals so like in the movie they had every right to lock dumbos mom in jail because she was hurting another human. It’s just the right thing to do. And I should not have called you a dumbass I apologize for that. But we humans are superior to other forms of life. No question about it

    Dumbo is very close to heart. His story sounds like the stories of so many people who overcame their disabilities/disorders. :~( Being born different, made fun of for being different, made mistakes due to the difference, and then using ones difference in a positive way, because no one else has that ability. Such an inspiring story. Thumbs up for picking an awesome Disney char. Elsa and the Disney Princesses and Princes got nothing on Dumbo. He earned his keep. So bad he is overlooked. I recall having his plush as a little girl. So sad he was thrown away by mom. I was only able to save a dino plush because he went with me to school. :~( Losing Dumbo plush traumatized me. I do hope that the new live action film will reproduce the plush... for me to get him again.

    Dumbo was always one of my favorites, but there was always something about it I found weird, the bullying! Having been bullied for most of my childhood, I can totally relate to Dumbo. But in our age of political correctness, if you have a problem with someone, you keep it to yourself, and any mention of your problems is "just a misunderstanding." But seeing a time and place where insulting someone to their face is not only accepted, but defended, it freaking weird!

I like him more than some other people do and it’s nice to hear other people give him praise. The movie is very creative and has great Messages about friendship and trust. I also think that the movie stands out for not using “Magic” as a key story element like so many Disney movies do. Great job with sharing your knowledge of the original story. I look forward to catching up more with your channel and videos!

    Okay so, the only thing that the movie got right that the book didn’t was that the book calls Dumbo the 8th wonder of the world while in the movie Timothy Q. Mouse correctly states that Dumbo is the 9th wonder of the world. Because, as I’m sure we all know, King Kong is the 8th wonder of the world as he was discovered in 1933 while Dumbo wasn’t even born until 1939.

    I can't believe it! Dumbo is also my favorite movie from Disney, and I remember watching it dozens of times a day when I was a little child since I was a huge elegants fan and when I rewatched it again now that I am 17 yrs old I finally understood how sad and though this movie was, something I never noticed as a kid. Again you made an awesome video and I can't wait to see the live action movie this year, Disney better not ruin it!

    Lets hope the new Dumbo movie doesn't shy away from the fact that the circus is hell on earth for these animals. At least the old one showed that circus life is tough and the abuse of the workers (as in when Jumbo tries to defend her baby and is whipped and chained.)
    Also, uhh... 5:47, baby Lion? You mean baby tigers. and 5:50 its a giraffe. My god, how hard is it to tell the difference?

    This is very odd; I try liking your video, goes to my like playlist, but when I play the video again my like is no longer existant but still is in my like playlist. I try this w other vids and had similar outcomes, but the older vids I liked dont have this problem and still show I liked them. Its frustrating when I, a viewer, am trying to show content creators, youtubers, etc. that I really enjoy their content. Pls do know I try multiple times to like this vid but still shows I didnt hit the like button

    One of the most touching moments in the Dumbo movie is when he visits his mother locked up in the abandoned train car and she reaches her trunk out of the window to cradle him. I tear up every time.

  • @AishaVonFossen
    @AishaVonFossen 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Yeah, unfortunately, Fantasia, my favorite Disney movie, didn't do that well at the box office on first release, so that was at least one of the reasons Dumbo was made.
    I was a little surprised to hear that Dumbo didn't want to see his mother after the elephant pyramid disaster in the original story, I guess considering that the heartbreaking scene where he sees his mother in solitary confinement is kind of a big deal in the movie. LOL But I can understand that he'd probably just want to be away from everyone for a while. I liked Red the Robin, and the owl professor, as much as I like Timothy Mouse, I wish they made it into the movie, too.
    I absolutely love seeing all of Dumbo's haters get their comeuppance! You know, proves that there's justice in this world after all, feels good. LOL Though if I were Dumbo, I'm not gonna lie, I'd still be kinda pissed off at them, since the only reason they started being nice to him was when they saw they could use him for his ears. It's like, you couldn't show a baby elephant love regardless, you "love" him only when you can exploit his gift? What a bunch of assholes, they should love him anyway! I am glad for at least Dumbo that his ears did serve a great purpose, but still, that's my two cents on that.
