Dumbo

A flock of storks delivers cubs to circus animals, which are transported by train from their "hibernation". Mrs. Jumbo, one of the elephants, gets her baby, who soon makes fun of the other elephants because of his large ears. They called him "Dumbo" (from the English. Dumb - stupid). Locking these elephants, Mrs. Jumbo hugs Dumbo to comfort.

Then a storm comes, and elephants should help set up circus tents, and then hold a parade around the city. However, Dumbo finds himself in a dirty puddle, and his mother has to wash it. Soon, a group of some boys began to torture Dumbo, because of which Mrs. Jumbo loses her temper and attacks one of them. Mrs. Jumbo's crazy elephant is locked in a cage. Now little Dumbo was left without parents. Other elephants avoid him and he is left alone. A mouse named Timothy Mouse, who feels sympathy for Dumbo, becomes determined to help him cheer up and appoints himself a mentor and protector of the elephant.

Secretly encouraged by Timothy, the circus director at one of the performances makes Dumbo the top of the elephant pyramid. However, the performance goes awry as Dumbo stumbles over his ears and misses the target, causing other elephants to be injured and ruin the entire pyramid. As a result, Dumbo turns into a clown, and other elephants who no longer consider him one of them. Clown elephant successfully plays a major role in the trick, where it should fall into the vat with the filling for the cake. Despite his newfound popularity and fame, Dumbo does not like this work and becomes even more miserable than ever.

To cheer Dumbo, Timothy takes him to visit his mother. On the way back, the elephant cries, and then begins to hiccup, so Timothy gives him a sip of water from a bucket, into which a bottle of champagne, knocked down by clowns, had accidentally fallen before. As a result, Dumbo and Timothy get drunk and see hallucinations in the form of pink elephants.

The next morning, they both wake up in a tree, from where they soon fall into the lake. The little mouse is surprised at how they climbed the tree, and concludes that Dumbo flew there, using his large ears as wings. With the help of the group, the raven Timothy makes Dumbo fly again, using a psychological trick with an alleged “magic feather” to increase his self-confidence.

Returning to the circus, Dumbo performs the same trick, which includes jumping from a tall building, but on the way down the elephant loses its “magic feather”. Timothy manages to tell him that the feather has never been magical and that he is still able to fly on his own. Dumbo emerges from the peak and flies around the whole circus, finally striking back to his tormentors, which is stunned by the stunned audience. After this performance, the flying elephant becomes a media sensation, and Timothy becomes his personal impresario and signs an extremely lucrative contract with Hollywood. Dumbo and Mrs. Jumbo, who was released from custody, receive a personal train on a circus train.
