Dumbo is a 1941 animated feature film produced by Walt Disney and first released on October 23, 1941 by RKO Radio Pictures. The fourth film in the Disney animated features canon, Dumbo is based upon a children's book of the same name by Helen Aberson and illustrated by Harold Perl based on true events. The main character is Jumbo Jr., a semi-anthropomorphic elephant who is cruelly nicknamed Dumbo. He is ridiculed for his big ears, but it turns out that he is capable of flying by using them as wings. His only friend is the mouse Timothy, parodying the stereotypical animosity between mice and elephants. Dumbo was a deliberate exercise in simplicity and economy for the Disney studio, and is today considered one of its finest films
As for when I first saw it, there's too much time passed so I'd guess at about 3 -5y/o

dumbo premiered in 1941. I don't remember when I first watched dumbo, but only after I received a Disney monopoly game did I realize that Dumbo hit theatres before the US entry into WW2.

Wow, I didn't realise it was made in 1941! I think I must have been about 6 when I first watched it. God I love that film. The part with Dumbo and his mom holding trunks through the bars still makes me cry now, and I'm 22!

I was 7 0r 8 years old. I cried for some reason every time I watched it. It was a very emotional cartoon for me.

No, i do not imagine this is ridiculous. Who is ordinary with what myriad triggers lie interior the guy's mind which will be moved through something like a Disney action picture? some human beings cry at sunsets.
