Dumbo (1941)

Dumbo is a 1941 American animated film produced by Walt Disney, based upon the storyline written by Helen Aberson.

Jumbo Jr., the cute elephant, is delivered by flock of storks to his circus elephant mum, Mrs. Jumbo. (Have you notice delivery form saying “one elephant” hihihi). However, Jumbo Jr. is made fun of by the other female elephants because of his large ears, and they nickname him “Dumbo”. The truth is Dumbo is tripping over his ears all the time, but his mum is always around to help him. One day during the circus city parade Mrs. Jumbo loses her temper because of group of boys teasing her son which causes her to be locked up and deemed mad. Poor Dumbo is shunned by other animals, who go so far as to call him freak because of his big ears. Thankfully he becomes a friend with a mouse - Timothy Q. - Mouse who is trying to make Dumbo happy and decides that, from now on, he is to be Dumbo’s mentor and protector.
The circus director makes Dumbo the top of an elephant pyramid but Dumbo trips over his big ears, hurting the other elephants and bringing down the whole show. Dumbo is then made a circus clown and other elephants doesn’t treat him as one of them anymore. Dumbo is even more miserable than before and despite the popularity this role brings him, his job makes him even unhappier.
To cheer Dumbo up, Timothy takes him to visit his mother. On the way back, Dumbo cries and then starts to hiccup, so Timothy takes him for a drink of water from a bucket which, unfortunately contains alcohol. Thus, Dumbo and Timothy both become drunk and see illusions of pink elephants.
The next morning, Dumbo and Timothy wake up in a tree. They have no idea how the get there and Timothy concludes that Dumbo flew up there using his large ears as wings. With the help from a group of crows, Timothy is able to get Dumbo to fly, using a trick of a "magic feather" to help Dumbo confidence.
Back at the circus, Dumbo performs the same stunt which involves jumping from a high building, this time, from a much higher platform. On the way down, Dumbo loses the feather, and thus, his confidence; Timothy quickly tells him that the feather was never magical, it was just a gag, and Dumbo is able to pull out of the dive and flies around the circus.
After this performance, Dumbo becomes a media sensation, Timothy becomes his manager, and Dumbo and Mrs. Jumbo are reunited and given a private car on the circus train.
