Dumbo: Best Non-Musical Sequence
« on: April 02, 2009, 06:34:00 PM »
Nothing really stands out for me here.  Animation-wise I think my favorite part might be when The Ringmaster (in silhouette) comes up with the idea of an elephant pyramid and then Timothy whispers in The Ringmasters ear while he sleeps.

But I'm likely to change my opinion over and over on this one.

The crows were always my favorite when I was a kid. I'll have to watch the scene again to see what I think now.

Those freaking crows!

Dumbo the clown is too much fun. The elephant pyramid comes in second.

Dumbo's bath, that scene tells you all you need to know about Dumbo the character.
