Movie background
The 1941 version of the cartoon Dumbo is a classic anime about the circus's elephant Tanba, who grew up as a circus star from no one.
This is Disney's 4th classic animated adaptation from a children's novel.
Because of the impact of the strike tide, the shooting process was very unsmooth.
The dream scene after the little elephant wine anhydride has become a classic, and the whole film is full of wonder and warmth.
The live-action version pays tribute to the original "Pink Elephant" bridge section
After Fantasia won the box office title in 1940, the film finished second on the 1941 box office charts, second only to The York Cobia in first place.
Time Magazine ingenuity selected the baby elephant Tanba as the hero of the year, and said that "this newcomer almost became the master of the children's kingdom during a war years."

As disney's iconic original film in 1941, "Dumbo" is still sought after and appreciated by everyone for many reasons after 80 years, but I think the main thing is because of its simplicity and cartoonism.
I rarely had the opportunity to do film theory research on a film that was only 64 minutes long.
Simplicity is almost religious.
For Dumbo, being concise and to the point is probably the best option, because you know, it's a movie full of racial stereotypes.
Anyway, with the release of this new version, I decided to look back and look at the original Dumbo again.
Although its aging is not perfect, it is indeed a pioneer of the Disney classic.
It was the first Disney movie to feature talking animals, and believe it or not, it was the first film set in the United States.
It was the first film to have an illusion sequence, which would be a staple of Disney movies in the coming years.
