#Dumbo 1941 movie#
It’s sad to see hand-drawn animation go the way of the Dodo, and it’s nice to see a movie like this as it makes you really appreciate the art form.
Whenever they showed people from the circus getting changed in their tents, it’s like seeing a new layer of those people that you don’t always get to see, or when Jumbo’s eyes change colour when she’s defending Dumbo. There isn’t a lot of voice-acting in this movie, so to tell your story in a different way, using different methods, was smart and made sense. Another great thing provided by these legendary animators was the amount of visual storytelling provided, and it works so well with the highly expressive faces and use of music to go along with it. Although some parts don’t stand the test of time - Dumbo is worth revisiting.ġ941s’ animation is truly something special and unique to the time - way before 3-D animation, hand-drawn animation was an art all on its own - everything is exaggerated and colourful, starting with the wonderful circus train and reaching its peak with the pink elephants on parade, as Dumbo and Timothy the Mouse hallucinate after drinking the clowns’ alcohol. It has iconic music, detailed 1941’s animation, and a wonderful message for young children. I’ve always felt that out of Disney’s classic animated library, Dumbo kind of gets forgotten, and it really shouldn’t. With Disney remaking some of their most popular animated classics, and Tim Burton’s live-action version of Dumbo hitting theaters, I’d say it’s time to revisit the original Dumbo.
