It tells the story of a little elephant born into the circus life, who is nick named Dumbo thanks to his huge ears. When his mother is locked up for protecting her baby from the evil human children (moral of the story? I think so!), Dumbo is befriended by a mouse called Timothy. After a sad and short reunion with his mother, Timothy accidentally directs Dumbo to drink from a water barrel spiked with alcohol, (enter the pink elephants on parade - which always have and always will really freak me out) Dumbo and Timothy find themselves in a tree - how did they get there? Timothy's only conclusion is that Dumbo must have used his ears as wings and flew up into the tree, to help with Dumbos confidence Timothy (with the help of some jazzy crows) gives Dumbo a magical feather. In the circus Dumbo had been cast in the clowns performance and has to jump from a burning building - the perfect time to show off his new talent, but half way down Dumbo looses his magic feather, thankfully Timothy is there to help Dumbo realise that he had it in him all along and didn't need the feather at all, at which point Dumbo pulls out of the dive and sores over the audience! Whoo hoo, go Dumbo!
Dumbo builds a huge fan base, manages to make the circus loads of money and even gets his mother a private and swanky carriage on the circus train, amazing work for such a small elephant.
As for the scores....
