   stop crying,

   I'm going to be with you

   and never again shall they do you wrong..."

   (Son of the heart , Dumbo )

   In both humans and animals, the maternal protective instinct is evident. There is an invisible cord that binds mother and child unbreakable, it is there, beating and nourishing, and it lasts a lifetime. Mothers, when they embrace their children, breastfeed them and see in their eyes the need for protection, do not break that maternal bond that unites them. Some species of animals tend to detach themselves from their young and devour them. However, this is not a rarity, as it is part of their instincts.

   Mother is mother, it is often said, to encompass all that motherhood means. I would say and much more, we are capable of anything for our children. It is a symbiosis, the mother-child relationship, in both senses, this relationship motivates the human being to grow and be better every day. If you are born with a condition or a syndrome, most of the time this invisible cord is stronger. The desire to protect is something innate in mothers, in all species. They are capable of destruction to save their children from danger.

   In some animal species this instinct is stronger, as in the case of elephants. Despite their size, they are sensitive, loving, overprotective. This is evidenced in the Disney cartoon film known as Dumbo. This is a classic, for me one of the best films in the history of cinema. This elephant is born a slave in a circus. I say slave and I repeat, the animals in circuses are mistreated, mistreated, humiliated to make them docile and teach them to make the public smile. Those who do not succeed are sacrificed.

   Animals from which man can derive something for his benefit are extinct. Elephants have not yet reached these limits. However, they are used for cargo, their tusks to obtain ivory, enslave them and exhibit them in circuses and zoos. This is the reality and he doesn't want to see it that way, let him not, I respect his opinion. If I had been able to enter the screen and his world, I would have accompanied Dumbo's mother to destroy the circus so that they would be serious as we Venezuelans say.

   Dumbo was born with a disability, with big ears and because of this he was made fun of. Society bullies him and rejects him just for being different. He is just a baby and he is rejected. In humans this also happens, but nowadays very little. Society has changed. Before, having a different child was an atrocity and they were locked up at home so they could not be seen. And dad blamed it on the mother. In life everything that happens is the mother's fault.

   This film raises many controversial issues of human society that still fails to confront, such as: contempt for those considered different, slavery, animal abuse and discrimination. Even when there are laws, man does what he wants and takes everything to achieve his ends. However, friendship prevails, which helps us to move forward. It only takes one impulse or one motivation to bring out that impetus to work towards what we desire. This is represented by Dumbo's friend, Timothy the mouse.

   About Dumbo's disability and his big ears, the most important thing about this film is that it shows that the disability is mental, that you can achieve many things, survive and achieve goals. I enjoyed this movie 64 minutes of music, I saw it a long time ago. It won an Oscar for best soundtrack in 1941. I like all the soundtrack but my favorite is the melody "Son of the heart", I leave it for you to listen to it and remember your childhood.

   Friends of #Movies&Shows Community, I invite you to bring out that kid in you and those beautiful times. When we played with our friends and defended each other. Enjoy this beautiful Disney film with delicious cotufas and with your family. It will serve as therapy for your soul. Dumbo, is a short movie but full of maternal love and the struggle to defend her child against all adversities. It was a successful movie and a box office hit despite its short length.

   I went back to daydreaming and I felt that time did not pass, that it stopped, and I was there with my brothers and my parents. But I enjoyed it with my brother Manuel, who visited me on the weekend. Those unique moments are unforgettable. I am grateful for these opportunities that life has given me to share with my loved ones. . Thank you for visiting my Blog at #Hive.

   Tanto en humanos como en los animales, el instinto de protección de maternal es evidente. Hay un cordón invisible que une a la madre y a su hijo inquebrantable, está ahí, latiendo y alimentándose, y dura toda la vida. Las madres, cuando abrazan a sus hijos, los amamantan y ven en sus ojos la necesidad de protección, no rompen ese lazo maternal que los une. Algunas especies de animales, suelen despegarse de sus crías y devorarlas. Sin embargo, esto no es una rareza, ya que es propio de sus instintos.

   Madre es madre, se suele decir, para englobar todo lo que significa la maternidad. Yo diría y mucho más, somos capaces de todo por nuestros hijos. Es una simbiosis, la relación madre, hijo, en ambos sentidos, esta relación motiva a ser humano a crecer y a ser mejor cada día. Si se nace con una condición o algún síndrome, la mayoría de las veces este cordón invisible es más fuerte. El deseo de protección es algo innato en las madres, en todas las especies. Son capaces de destruir por salvar a sus hijos del peligro.

   En algunas especies de animales es más fuerte este instinto, como es el caso de los elefantes. A pesar de su tamaño son sensitivos, amorosos, sobre protectores. Esto se evidencia en el filme de dibujos animados de Disney, conocido como Dumbo. Este es un clásico, para mí una de las mejores películas en la historia del cine. Este elefante nace esclavo en un circo. Digo esclavo y lo reitero, los animalitos en los circos son maltratados, vejados para hacerlos dócil y enseñarles a hacer sonreír al público. El que no lo logra los sacrifican.

   Los animales de los cuales el hombre puede obtener algo para su beneficio son extintos. Los elefantes todavía no han llegado a estos límites. Sin embargo, son utilizados para la carga, sus colmillos para obtener el marfil, esclavizarlos y exhibirlos en circos y zoológicos. Esta es la realidad y él no quiere verlo así, que no lo haga, respeto su opinión. Si yo hubiese podido entrar a la pantalla y a su mundo, hubiese acompañado a la mamá de Dumbo a destrozar el circo para que sean serios como decimos los venezolanos.

   Dumbo nace con una discapacidad, con grandes orejas y por esto se burlaban de él. La sociedad le hace bullying y lo rechazan solo por ser diferente. Es solo un bebe y es rechazado. En los seres humanos esto también sucede, pero en la actualidad muy poco. La sociedad ha cambiado. Antes tener un hijo diferente, era una atrocidad y los encerraban en casa para que no los vieran. Y papá le echaba la culpa a la madre. En la vida todo lo que sucede la culpa es de la madre.

   En este filme se plantea muchos temas controversiales de la sociedad humana y que todavía no logra afrontar, tales como: desprecio hacia los que consideran diferentes, la esclavitud, el maltrato animal y la discriminación. Aun cuando hay Leyes, el hombre hace lo que quiere y se lleva todo por delante para lograr sus fines. Sin embargo, prevalece la amistad, que nos ayuda a seguir adelante. Solo se necesita un impulso o una motivación para sacar ese ímpetu para trabajar en pro de lo que deseamos. Esto lo representa el amigo de Dumbo, el ratón Timoteo.

   Sobre la discapacidad de Dumbo y sus grandes orejitas, lo más importante de este filme es que se evidencia que la incapacidad es mental, que se pueden lograr muchas cosas, sobrevivir y lograr metas. Disfrute de esta película son 64 minutos de música, la vi hace mucho tiempo. Gano un premio Oscar a la mejor banda sonora en 1941. Toda la banda sonora me gusta pero mi preferida es la melodía “Hijo del corazón”, se las dejo para que la escuchen y recuerden su infancia.

   Amigos de Comunidad de #Movies&Shows, los invito a sacar ese niño que tienen dentro de sí y de esos tiempos bonitos. Cuando jugábamos con nuestros amigos y nos defendíamos unos a otros. Disfruta de este lindo filme de Disney acompañado de deliciosas cotufas y con la familia. Les servirá de terapia para el alma. Dumbo, es una película corta pero llena de amor maternal y de la lucha por defender a su hijo ante todas las adversidades. Fue una película exitosa y taquillera a pesar de ser corta.

   Volví a soñar despierta y sentí que el tiempo no paso, que hizo stop, y yo estaba allí con mis hermanos y mis padres. Pero lo disfrute acompañada de mi hermano Manuel, me visito el fin de semana. Esos momentos únicos no se olvidan. Agradezco estas oportunidades que me dio la vida de compartir con ms seres queridos. .

2. ›CineTvCintest. Favourite movie animal character: Dumbo (1941)@evaredskin1447d

   

   source

   Well, let's see, let's get started. It's been a long time since I've entered a Cinetv contest that I think I've forgotten how to write about.

   

                cracking knuckles, moves fingers rhythmically over keyboard to get ready to type
   

   Who is my favorite animal character in a movie? The answer, of course, cannot be easy. I will take a trip (nostalgic) to my childhood memories to remember movies that moved and excited me. Wy do I have to deep in my childhood? Because then we thought that whatever we were seeing on the screen, everything seemed so magical and so real, that anything could happen, even elephants flying.

   So, today I'm going to tell you about a movie about a little elephant that all he wanted was to be accepted by others, -not being ostracized- because he was different from them. Dumbo is born with big ears and receives from a very young age the criticism and disapproval of others because he simply does not look like them (Maybe this reminds us of something in our modern times, eh?). But what everyone considers a disadvantage turns out to be his biggest weapon that helps him achieve everything he wanted.

   I saw this movie when I was in elementary school, on the black and white TV we had at home. And since we were one of the few houses that had a television back then, friends from the neighborhood would gather at my house to watch "kids' shows," as the elders used to call them. And with the naivety of our childlike gaze, we were saddened every time Dumbo was driven away...we were impressed when we saw him fly...we laughed at the crows singing in that heavy, bass voice...

   And with that childish gaze, that sadness I felt every time Dumbo was mistreated, I think I learned a very big lesson, perhaps one of the most valuable: Not to focus on anyone's difference and not judge anyone negatively based on that. Because these differences are the ones that make us all special.

   Even though it has such an impact on me, believe me, I won't claim that Dumbo is a great movie -at least not for me. I wacthed it again after several years, on color television this time, in my early twenties. I found the film chatty, tedious and if given the option I would hit the fast forward button all the time. Somehow from the beginning, it seemed to me quite different from what I rememebered. But even in this second -quite prejudiced from my side- viewing, I found something to move me. this time, in addition to the moral message, I noticed the scene with the pink elephants (since I hadn't notice it earlier in black and white Tv). An amalgam of surrealism, color and movement, perhaps one of the best scenes (along with the wizard's apprentice scene in Fantasia) that Disney has shot.

   Third time, I saw her with my niece. She was obsessed with Dumbo Drop, a Ray Liotta movie and I made her watch the classic Dumbo. Our little girl was thrilled with our little elephant that could fly. And at one point, she turned very serious and said to me: "I want to be like Dumbo." I asked teasingly "Elephant?" "No" she told me,"to fly, even though, I am not a bird". And till now, her biggest dream is to become a pilot.

   

   source

   But above all these times, I remember a phrase that my father told us back then, when I was a kid. We had not let him take his nap with our laughter and small talk, so he sat with us for a while to watch with us the "children's plays". It was the circus parade scene and my father, shaking his head, told us: "Humans are greedy. They imprison such beautiful animals, put them in cages for their own amusement". That made an impact on me and since then I haven't watched a circus with animals in my life.

   So, this is my favourite animal character. A small elephant that teached me the biggest lessons in life: not to judge others by their characteristics, to imagine the most surrealistic things and last, but not least to believe in myself in order to achieve my goals.

   Even though sometimes, we need, a magic feather, too to believe in ourselves.

   PS. Have you noticed how "bizarre" it was the friendship of a mouse and an elephant, since elephants assumingly are afraid of mice? I hadn't noticed that, till my miece told me so. Brilliant example of a pair of friends!

   

   Thank you for reading!

3. ›[Eng / Esp] CineTV Contest: Dumbo, bullying, love,surrealism and values. / Concurso CineTV: Dumbo, intimidación, amor, surrealismo y valores.@nbarrios671602d

   I remember that my mother or my aunts used to take me to a movie theater called Lido, very close to the Chacaito area in the city of Caracas, where I smelled something similar to popcorn with soft drinks and when the movie started there was a smell like plastic.

   The particularity of that movie theater was that every weekend at matinee they showed Disney movies, they were re-releases.

   When I was about six years old, they took me to see the Dumbo movie, which was a very funny little elephant with a very special feature: his big ears.

   At that time I did not really perceive the concepts of cruelty, humiliation, bullying or racism very well. All this happened in the movie, being the trigger of all this situation a difference, an imperfection that the poor little animal possessed. Seeing on screen how the animal was physically and psychologically mistreated caused me much sadness and indignation, the other elephants made fun of him, the clowns mistreated him physically, why did my mother bring me here to see it? I think this was the first approach I had to a terrible behavior that is very current nowadays: bullying.

   [Source](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EZd2rkFaVo)

   The only kind thing I perceived in certain moments is the tenderness that radiates from Dumbo's mother, defending him from animals and humans, for which she is separated from her son and locked up. This moment of confinement and separation seemed very cruel to me and it really was the trigger that made me cry. I felt the true love of a mother. [Source](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR3BV0xa5Lk)

   I was terrified at first and then I started to be kind of amused by the scene of the pink and multicolored elephants. Dumbo and his only friend so far Timothy the mouse drink water in which liquor had previously fallen, so they fall into a strange drunkenness where the strange thing is that they share the same dream, something ghostly and incomprehensible where elephants sing and dance in a sinister way. A very surreal scene for a children's movie. [Source](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZtLswP69LQ)

   So far my suffering, the elephant meets a gang of crows which, along with Timoteo are the only ones who help Dumbo throughout the film, they make him understand that he is special precisely because of what makes him different from other elephants: his ears. Dumbo manages to accept himself as he is and to take advantage of that defect: he can fly thanks to his big ears, finally the movie can make me laugh with the change of situations that happen next.

   [Source](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v2exWrsGOc) [Source](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNLiIehpLnE)

   Dumbo didn't speak during the whole movie, but by seeing his face you could already empathize with his emotions, see his purity of heart. It is a movie that only lasts 64 minutes, bittersweet, but it brings as a moral that we must be tolerant with others because, although we are different we deserve a good treatment, it gives us to understand that success depends on each one of us and that many times, that defect that distresses us can be an ally.

   Many of these things I learned over time thanks to the values that were instilled in me in my family, adding that the images of the film always haunted my mind.

   As an adult, I understood that reading the film has much deeper implications, including Salvador Dalí, and even racism, but I will leave that for a future publication.

   This is my participation in the dynamic sponsored by the CineTv Link community Link Here, related to the movies that have marked your childhood.

   Thank you for appreciating this publication, I hope to have made you have a good time, recommending that as far as possible to visualize these cult works, always trying to see a little beyond the obvious, greetings to all and good luck with this dynamic in the new stage of our community CineTv.

   

   Spanish Version

   Recuerdo que mi madre o mis tías me llevaban a un cine llamado Lido, muy cerca de la zona de Chacaito en la ciudad de Caracas, donde olía algo parecido a palomitas de maíz con refrescos y cuando empezaba la película había un olor como a plástico.

   La particularidad de ese cine era que todos los fines de semana en la matiné pasaban películas de Disney, eran reestrenos.

   Cuando tenía unos seis años me llevaron a ver la película de Dumbo, que era un elefantito muy gracioso con una característica muy especial: sus grandes orejas.

   En aquella época no percibía muy bien los conceptos de crueldad, humillación, acoso o racismo. Todo esto sucedía en la película, siendo el detonante de toda esta situación una diferencia, una imperfección que poseía el pobre animalito. Ver en la pantalla como el animal era maltratado física y psicológicamente me causó mucha tristeza e indignación, los otros elefantes se burlaban de él, los payasos lo maltrataban físicamente, ¿por qué me trajo mi madre a verlo? Creo que este fue el primer acercamiento que tuve a un comportamiento terrible y muy actual hoy en día: el bullying.

   [Fuente](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jO-Xy67Yzzg)

   Lo único amable que percibí en ciertos momentos es la ternura que irradia la madre de Dumbo, defendiéndolo de los animales y de los humanos, por lo que es separada de su hijo y encerrada. Este momento de encierro y separación me pareció muy cruel y realmente fue el detonante que me hizo llorar. Sentí el verdadero amor de una madre. [Fuente](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7rMGTCNeDI)

   Al principio me aterroricé y luego me empezó a hacer cierta gracia la escena de los elefantes rosas y multicolores. Dumbo y su único amigo hasta ahora, el ratón Timothy, beben agua en la que previamente había caído licor, por lo que caen en una extraña borrachera donde lo extraño es que comparten el mismo sueño, algo fantasmal e incomprensible donde los elefantes cantan y bailan de forma siniestra. Una escena muy surrealista para una película infantil. [Fuente](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7XVK2KH5Po)

   Hasta aquí mi sufrimiento, el elefante se encuentra con una pandilla de cuervos que, junto con Timoteo son los únicos que ayudan a Dumbo en toda la película, le hacen entender que es especial precisamente por lo que le hace diferente a los demás elefantes: sus orejas. Dumbo consigue aceptarse como es y sacar provecho de ese defecto: puede volar gracias a sus grandes orejas, finalmente la película consigue hacerme reír con el cambio de situaciones que se producen a continuación.

   [Fuente](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVOPa_Lypxk) [Fuente](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BR9TXIvQo5U)

   Dumbo no habló durante toda la película, pero al ver su cara ya podías empatizar con sus emociones, ver su pureza de corazón. Es una película que sólo dura 64 minutos, agridulce, pero que trae como moraleja que debemos ser tolerantes con los demás porque, aunque seamos diferentes merecemos un buen trato, nos da a entender que el éxito depende de cada uno de nosotros y que muchas veces, ese defecto que nos angustia puede ser un aliado.

   Muchas de estas cosas las aprendí con el tiempo gracias a los valores que me inculcaron en mi familia, añadiendo que las imágenes de la película siempre rondaron mi mente.

   De adulto, comprendí que la lectura de la película tiene implicaciones mucho más profundas, incluyendo a Salvador Dalí, e incluso el racismo, pero eso lo dejaré para una futura publicación.

   Esta es mi participación en la dinámica auspiciada por la comunidad CineTv Link Aquí, relacionada con las películas que han marcado tu infancia.

   Gracias por apreciar la presente publicación, espero haberles hecho pasar un rato agradable, recomendándoles que en la medida de lo posible visualicen estas obras de culto, siempre intentando ver un poco más allá de lo evidente, saludos a todos y muchísima suerte con esta dinámica en la nueva etapa de nuestra comunidad CineTv.

4. ›Disney's Dumbo (1941)@dlstudios2149d

   

   These next two Disney reviews are of movies I hate, a lot. Dumbo was easily one of my least favorite of all the movies, but since I haven't watched it since I was a kid I couldn't remember why. And it turns out that why is that there isn't anything that happens in this movie, at least not enough to warrant being a movie. It is, at best, a TV short that got needlessly stretched out to the length of a movie.

   I'm not going to get much into the comedy as that is subjective, but the jokes just don't work for the most part. The talking train isn't random in a good way, it just... kind of talks and then things go on as normal. The Pink elephant acid trip (I don't believe for a moment it was alcohol spilled into the drinking water) was kind of interesting but entirely pointless. The only thing I liked about the movie was another entirely pointless scene, and that was the crows picking on Dumbo. Yes, they may have been racist caricatures of black people from back in the day, but they were funny and fun to watch, only really likable characters in the whole show (Okay, I do kind of like the Mouse too).

   

   The worst thing about this movie is that it kind of paints the idea of being famous in the circus as a good thing while simultaneously painting the people running the circus as cruel monsters who care nothing for the animals in their service, yet the movie ends with Dumbo winning them over by becoming a star. If they at least treated the animals with some kind of decency and respect that would be fine, but they just don't.

   All that aside, the movie does have some good points. The show does a really good job of telling a story without words. Not that characters don't speak, Dumbo of course doesn't, but you always know what characters are feeling without them having to say it, and it's especially true of Dumbo. Though the best moments involve the Mouse, who never actually talks about his history at all. At the same time, with how he acts towards Dumbo, mixed with how he defends him from the Crows and how fantastic his expressions are, you can piece together his past was likely very similar to Dumbo's and that is where their connection comes from. Never does the movie state this, but the actions of the characters make it obvious without having to spell it all out.

   

   Despite my not liking this movie, watching it again I see this is a big step forward for Disney in terms of their storytelling in these films. Unlike shorts seen in Fantasia which only told a simple and easy to follow the story with Sorcerers Apprentice, Dumbo manages to say even more without explicitly stating it as I explained with the Mouse. It's obvious that their ability to craft a great movie is only growing at this point, it's just held down by the movie itself being too flimsy to be a full-length movie, the writing part of it all still hasn't come into its own yet. Still, it's clear even from these early stages why Disney Movies were such big hits.

5. ›Dumbo live action trailer reaction@mediaguy2764d

   Although I don’t really approve of the live action lion king coming up, and all the other live action remakes. I actually am interested in watching this. Should be a good watch, at least I think and am hoping.
