Why Dumbo scores this way

A baby circus elephant ridiculed for his oversized ears discovers he can use them to fly. Short, tender, and song-filled; the forced separation from his caged mother, mocking peers, and a surreal 'Pink Elephants' sequence give it sad and unsettling moments for sensitive young viewers.
