Dumbo is a 1941 American animated fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by RKO Radio Pictures. The fourth Disney animated feature film, it is based upon the storyline written by Helen Aberson and Harold Pearl, and illustrated by Helen Durney for the prototype of a novelty toy ("Gyre-a-Book").[4] [5] The main graphic symbol is Jumbo Jr., an elephant who is cruelly nicknamed "Dumbo", as in "dumb". He is ridiculed for his big ears, but in fact he is capable of flying by using his ears every bit wings. Throughout nearly of the film, his merely true friend, aside from his mother, is the mouse, Timothy – a human relationship parodying the stereotypical animosity between mice and elephants.

Made to recoup the financial losses of both Pinocchio and Fantasia, Dumbo was a deliberate pursuit of simplicity and economy for the Disney studios. At 64 minutes, it is one of Disney's shortest animated features. Sound was recorded conventionally using the RCA System. 1 phonation was synthesized using the Sonovox arrangement, but information technology, too, was recorded using the RCA Organization.

Dense was released on October 23, 1941, where it was met with generally favorable reviews.[6] It has since been considered to be among the greatest blithe films of all time. In 2017, the moving-picture show was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as beingness "culturally, historically and aesthetically pregnant".[7]

A alive-action adaptation of the picture show directed by Tim Burton was released on March 29, 2019.

Plot

While a large circus spends the off-flavour in the "Wintertime Grounds" in Florida, a flock of white storks delivers babies to the animals. Ane elephant, Mrs. Jumbo, does non receive her baby, and keeps scanning the sky. The circus sets out on a new tour, and a belated stork catches up with the moving train and drops off the expected baby elephant, Jumbo Junior. The other elephants are initially delighted, until they see the infant has far-oversized ears, and promptly nickname him "Dumbo". Even so, Mrs. Jumbo shows her baby great care and love, defending him from the teasing of the other elephants.

Dumbo, impuissant due to his ears, is fabricated into a sideshow attraction. When some rowdy boys start bravado in and pulling Dense's ears, Mrs. Jumbo spanks their leader and throws hay bales at them. Circus staff remove Dense from the pen, and Mrs. Colossal flies into a rage, eventually dousing the ringmaster in a water tub. She is subsequently accounted mad and locked in a cage. Dense is blamed for the incident and shunned past the other elephants.

Timothy, a mouse that travels with the circus, befriends Dumbo and decides to make him a star. He whispers in the ringmaster'due south ear while the latter sleeps, and convinces him to endeavor a new stunt with Dumbo as the height of a pyramid of elephants. Withal, Dumbo trips on his ears during the evidence and knocks over the pyramid, injuring the other elephants and bringing the big top crashing down. Afterwards this, the other elephants exile Dumbo completely, and he is put in with the clowns' firemen act, regularly jumping from a "burning edifice" prop into a vat of pie filling. Despite his newfound popularity, he hates the chore and becomes depressed.

Timothy decides to take Dense to meet Mrs. Jumbo, but they cannot run into each other's faces and can just intertwine trunks. Meanwhile, the clowns make up one's mind to increase the popularity of their fireman act past dangerously raising the platform Dumbo jumps from. In celebration of the programme, they drinkable champagne, and a canteen of it falls into a water vat. Dumbo, crying after visiting his mother, gets the hiccups, so Timothy takes him to the vat for water. Both of them get drunk, and hallucinate pink elephants.

Dense and Timothy are later on discovered asleep loftier up in a tree by Bully Crow and his friends. Initially making fun of Timothy's assertion that Dumbo flew with his ears while boozer, the crows are presently moved by Dumbo's sad story. They decide to help Timothy, giving him a "magic feather" to aid Dumbo fly. Holding the plume, Dumbo does indeed take off a second time, and he and Timothy return to the circus with plans to surprise the audience.

During the clowns' human activity, Dumbo jumps off the platform and prepares to fly. He drops the feather, but Timothy assures him information technology was only a psychological aid, and Dumbo successfully flies nigh the big top, much to the delight of the public. Dumbo gains fame and fortune, Timothy becomes his new manager and signs him to a Hollywood contract, and Mrs. Jumbo is freed. She and Dumbo are given a private coach on the railroad train, and the crows wave cheerio to the elephants every bit they travel away.

Production

Development

Dumbo is based upon a children'due south story written by Helen Aberson-Mayer and Harold Pearl,[4] with illustrations past Helen Durney.[8] The children'due south book was first brought to the attention of Walt Disney in late 1939 by Kay Kamen, the studio'southward head of merchandise licensing, who showed a epitome of the Scroll-A-Book that included Dense. Disney immediately grasped its possibilities and heartwarming story and purchased the rights to information technology.[9]

Originally it was intended to exist a brusque pic; however, Disney soon plant that the only way to do justice to the book was to brand it a feature-length movie.[x] At the time, the strange markets in Europe had been concise due to World War II, which caused Pinocchio and Fantasia to neglect at the box office. With the picture'southward minor upkeep, Dumbo was intended to be a depression-budget feature designed to bring acquirement to the studio.[vi] Story artists Dick Huemer and Joe Grant were assigned to develop the plot into a feature-length picture show. From Jan 22 to March 21, 1940, they wrote a 102-page script outline in chapters, much like a volume, an unusual way of writing a film script. They conceived the stork-delivery and the pink elephants sequences and had Dumbo's mother renamed from "Mother Ella" to "Mrs. Jumbo". They riffed on elephants' fearfulness of mice by replacing a wise robin named "Red" plant in the original story with the wisecracking mouse character, Timothy. They also added a "rusty black crow", which was afterwards expanded into five.[11] Regardless of this, very piddling was changed from the original draft.[12] In March 1940, a story team headed by Otto Englander translated the outline into story sketches.[xiii]

Animation

From Disney's perspective, Dense required none of the special furnishings that had slowed downwardly product and grew the budgets of Pinocchio, Fantasia, and Bambi.[fourteen] When the film went into production in early on 1941, supervising director Ben Sharpsteen was given orders to keep the film simple and cheap.[15] Every bit a outcome, the character designs are simpler, background paintings are less detailed, and a number of held cels (or frames) were used in the graphic symbol blitheness. Although the film is more "cartoony" than previous Disney films, the animators brought elephants and other animals into the studio to study their movement.[10]

Watercolor paint was used to render the backgrounds. Dumbo is one of the few Disney features to use the technique, which was besides used for Snow White and the Vii Dwarfs, and regularly employed for the various Disney cartoon shorts. The other Disney features used oil paint and gouache. 2002's Lilo & Sew, which drew influences from Dumbo, also made use of watercolor backgrounds.[xvi]

Disney animators' strike

During a story coming together for Bambi on February 27, 1940, Disney observed that Dumbo was "an obvious straight cartoon" and that the animators that were assigned on Bambi were not advisable for the look of Dumbo. Animators such as Fine art Babbitt and Ward Kimball were considered for the moving-picture show.[14] For that reason, less experienced animators were brought on to animate the characters. Kimball recalled that Disney approached him in a parking lot nearly Dumbo and summarized the unabridged story in five minutes. "And listening to him tell that story," Kimball noted, "I could tell that the moving picture was going to work. Considering everything sounded correct. Information technology had a great plot." In spite of this, Bill Tytla, who was ane of the studio's tiptop animators, animated the title character, only admitted that "it was in the nature of the moving picture to become very fast and become it out in a hurry." To speed up product, Disney used photostats of story sketches instead of full layout artwork for the picture show, and had experienced animators to supervise the younger, less experienced animators assigned on the movie.[17]

Production on the movie was interrupted on May 29, 1941 when much of the Disney animation staff went on strike. Kimball chose to non to strike, but his close friend Walt Kelly, who was an banana animator helping him on the crow sequence, left the studios shortly subsequently for reasons unrelated to the strike.[18]

The clowns' requests to get a raise from their boss is a reference to the Disney animators that went on strike in 1941 (during the cosmos of the film), enervating higher pay from Walt himself. Moreover, the clowns, or at least their silhouettes, are caricatures of those animators.[xix]

For their piece of work on the score, Churchill and Wallace won the Academy Honor for Best Original Score.

Disney refused, "No, that'south as far as I tin stretch it. You can stretch a thing so far and and then information technology won't hold. The picture show is right every bit it is. And some other x minutes is liable to cost 5 hundred thousand dollars. I can't afford information technology."[21] The moving picture was re-released in theaters in 1949, 1959, 1972, and 1976.[22]

Reception

Box function

Despite the appearance of Globe War Ii, Dumbo was still the most financially successful Disney film of the 1940s. Subsequently its October 23 release, Dense proved to be a financial phenomenon compared to other Disney films. The elementary film simply cost $950,000 (equivalent to $16,720,000 in 2020) to produce,[2] half the price of Snow White, less than a tertiary of the cost of Pinocchio, and certainly less than the expensive Fantasia. Dumbo somewhen grossed roughly more $ane.3 million (equivalent to $28,150,000 in 2020) during its original release.[3] The moving picture returned a profit of $850,000.[21]

Critical reception

Diverseness wrote that Dumbo was "a pleasant little story, plenty of pathos mixed with the large doses of humor, a number of appealing new creature characters, lots of good music, and the usual Disney skillfulness in technique in drawing and utilise of color."[40] Cecelia Ager, writing in PM, called Dumbo "the nicest, kindest Disney still. It has the almost gustatory modality, beauty, compassion, skill, restraint. It marks a render to Disney beginning principles, the creature kingdom—that happy land where Disney workers turn into artists; where their imagination, playfulness, ingenuity, daring flourish freest; where, in brusk, they're domicile."[41]

Bosley Crowther, reviewing for The New York Times, wrote that the film was "the almost genial, the most endearing, the most completely precious cartoon feature motion picture ever to emerge from the magical brushes of Walt Disney's wonder-working artists".[42] Time wrote: "Like story and characters, Dense 's coloring is soft and subdued, complimentary from picture-postcard colors and confusing detail—a meaning technical advance. But the charm of Dumbo is that it once again brings to life that most human beast kingdom where Walter Elias Disney is king of them all."[43] Harrison'southward Reports praised the film as "one of Walt Disney's nearly delightful offerings. Technically, it is excellent; the color is exceptionally adept. The story itself is pleasing; it combines comedy with homo entreatment. The but fault is that occasionally the activity slows down."[44]

Additionally, Time had originally scheduled to run a story with an appearance embrace for "Mammal of the Year" (a play on its almanac "Homo/Person of the Year" laurels) on December 8, 1941. However, the assault on Pearl Harbor on December 7 of that year had postponed information technology, and the story was later published on December 29.[45] [46]

Among retrospective reviews, motion picture critic Leonard Maltin stated that Dense is his favorite of Disney's films and he described it every bit "one of Walt Disney'south most charming animated films".[47] In 2011, Richard Corliss of Fourth dimension named the film equally one of the 25 all-time all-time animated films.[48] On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the picture has an approval rating of 98% based on 43 reviews, with an average score of 8.3/10. The website'southward consensus reads "Dense packs plenty of story into its brief runtime, along with all the warm animation and wonderful music you'd look from a Disney classic."[49] Metacritic has assigned a weighted score of 96 out of 100 for Dumbo based on xi reviews, indicating "universal acclamation".[50]

Controversy

The moving picture has been criticized by some for its handling of race. The Encyclopedia of Racism in American Films (2018) notes that "All of the circus laborers are African American, the simply time that blacks are seen in any peachy number in the entire flick."[51] Moving picture scholar Richard Schickel, in his 1968 volume The Disney Version, argued that the group of crows in the movie were African American stereotypes.[52] The lead crow, voiced by white actor Cliff Edwards in an false of Southern African American dialect,[53] was named "Jim Crow", subsequently the pre-Ceremonious-War minstrel character. The term had go a pejorative term for African Americans, and normally referred to racial segregation laws, and the character's name was inverse in the 1950s to "Dandy Crow" in attempt to avoid controversy.[1] [54] [55] The other crows were voiced past African American actors and singers of the popular all-blackness "Hall Johnson Choir", including actors James Baskett (Vocal of the South) and Nick Stewart (The Amos 'northward' Andy Show). Ward Kimball, the primary animator of the crows, used famous African-American dancers Freddie and Eugene Jackson as alive-activity reference for the characters. The personalities and mannerisms of the crows—specifically their fast-paced, back and forth dialogue—were inspired by the backchat institute on the ring records of Cab Calloway and Louis Armstrong.[12] Karina Longworth, exploring the history of Song of the South in her podcast You Must Remember This, discussed the basis of the crows in minstrel show culture, as office of a wider use of minstrel culture by Walt Disney.[56]

Some however have defended the characters of the Crows. In his 1973 book The Disney Films, picture show historian and critic Leonard Maltin argued that the crows "are undeniably black, but they are black characters, not blackness stereotypes. There is no denigrating dialogue, or Uncle Tomism in the scene, and if crime is to be taken in hearing blacks phone call each other 'brother', then the viewer is merely sensitive to accuracy."[57] Animation historian John Canemaker felt that the crows were amidst the very few characters in the film that sympathize and are empathetic with Dumbo's plight since being a marginalized ethnic group themselves, they can relate to Dense every bit a fellow outcast. He further added the crows "are the most intelligent, the happiest, the freest spirited characters in the whole picture."[12] In 1980, film critic Michael Wilmington referred to the crows equally "father figures", self-assured individuals who are "obvious parodies of proletarian blacks", just comments, "The crows are the snappiest, liveliest, almost together characters in the motion-picture show. They are tough and generous. They bow down to no 1. And, of grade, it is they who teach Dumbo to fly."[58]

In 2017, Whoopi Goldberg expressed the desire for the crow characters to be more than merchandised by Disney, "because those crows sing the song in Dense that everybody remembers."[59] In 2019, Floyd Norman, the offset African-American animator hired at Walt Disney Productions during the 1950s, defended the crows in an article entitled Blackness Crows and Other PC Nonsense.[60] [61]

The crows and Timothy Q. Mouse were not included in the 2022 live-activity/CGI remake of Dumbo.[62] In 2019, it was reported that an edited version of the animated film without the crows would be featured on the forthcoming Disney+ service.[63] Notwithstanding, the film does appear on Disney+ uncensored, with an advisory in the synopsis warning "it may contain outdated cultural depictions."[64] [65] In 2021, the motion picture was ane of several that Disney limited to viewers 7 years and older on their service Disney+, citing similarity of the crows' depictions to "racist minstrel shows".[66]

Dumbo won the 1941 Academy Award for Best Original Score, awarded to musical directors Frank Churchill and Oliver Wallace. Churchill and lyricist Ned Washington were also nominated for the Academy Honour for Best Original Song for "Babe Mine" (the song that plays during Dumbo's visit to his mother's cell), only did not win for this category.[67] The film also won Best Animation Design at the 1947 Cannes Moving picture Festival.[68]
