![]() ![]() ![]() This was never true and the movie is very heartwarming and sincere. Of course the animated 1941 version infers that the baby elephant nicknamed "Dumbo" is stupid and defective just because of his oversized ears. I don't want to address this deeply and ruin the "love" that this movie portrays. There are far worse examples of stereotypical dialect and behavior in dozens of other animated and live-action movies from all the studios in the 1930's and 1940's. As I write this, Disney is planning on changing or removing the "When I See an Elephant Fly" sequence in the 1941 movie, as it might upset Afro-Americans. ![]()
