I love Dumbo, because after every time I watch the movie, I'm always left with the feeling of "what did we learn here?" The clowns pushed a half ton animal off a platform, and when he didn't die the first time, they're like, "let's build it higher!" Instead of, "thank God we didn't kill a baby animal."
Ben Marriott Dumbo is definitely the worst in terms of unrelenting sadness, so I'm hoping he's pleasantly surprised. Even The Lion King is light and breezy compared to the deluge of depression that is Dumbo.
@@Joviaero I mean Fox and the Hound kinda the point is it's sad. Dumbo is meant to have a happy ending, but Fox and the Hound goes for depressing all the way through, even when it's happy you know it doesn't last
I'd not seen Dumbo since childhood. And now, I'm crying at this video, which is actually funny. That's how much sadness this movie has, it's spilling over. Gosh.
Thats half expected, still. I got recommended weird RUclips kids videos when watching an Amazon Liquidation pallet unboxing video, just because he mentions toys.
This brings back what I used to think were happy memories at the circus when I was a kid but in hindsight are actually pretty horrific. Thanks guys , ya got me.
The Disney movies that Walt himself worked on (aka anything up to The Jungle Book) are so relentlessly, painfully sad in a way that was never approached by the company again. You have your one-off heartbreaking moment in Disney movies after (Tod being left in the woods, Simba's dad dying), but nothing that crushes your soul in the way those early films did. God I love early Disney.
I just laughed so fucking hard at the hippo, like... my God, they're right... why IS it under water... the animators just legit didn't know hippos can't breathe water....
@@jachariah4694 This is blowing my ENTIRE mind, what do you mean hippos can sleep under water? Okay, Google has told me: "While they sleep in the water, they surface automatically and breathe without waking up." So I'm still not convinced Disney knew what they were doing.
As someone who had never seen the actual original Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer movie, the sudden, confident cut to an adorable stop motion gun stunned me like a mad elephant hit with a stun gun
OMG I watched Dumbo one time and cried SO MUCH I literally had nightmares about the Elephant not getting her baby from the stork! But, a couple years have passed by now lol and I should be emotionally prepared to watch it with my kids again soon.
You guys should watch one of the underrated movies as well, since he hasn't seen any of them! Atlantis, Treasure Planet, Meet the Robinsons, Dinosaur One of those!
*_For some reason, I think underrated Disney animated films deserved to be in live-action. Like Treasure Planet, The Great Mouse Detective, Black Cauldron, etc. They should get more respect than what they deserved._*
Or maybe just remake the bad ones? Like, Treasure Planet and Great Mouse Detective are both good enough that you'd piss of the fans, and not noteworthy enough that any significant amount of money could be made off of them. Black Cauldron, though, that's both a bad movie and a fairly noteworthy one, so fixing it doesn't seem like the worst idea, and may even make quite a bit of money.
Hey guys long term watcher/ podcast listener, and I have to say this was one of your best Caravan Of Garbages to date. I love the idea of Mason watching these Disney films for the first time and getting modern reviews from you both, very funny. Keep up the good work boyos!
I didn't like Dumbo when I was a kid because it wasn't just about a sad story. All the sadness came from all of the people & grown ups being MEAN spirited, lyers, and manipulative. As a 6 year old with three older siblings I was like no, my older siblings are like that and this movie provides ZERO hope. Dumbo gets fame because people can take advantage of him, but that's not hopeful. You bring the circus money and you get thrown a bones once in a while.... It made me feel so angry and depressed at age 6! *Side note* The trailers for the live action remakes actually made me hopeful... It looks like the two kids are taking on the role of the mouse and crows and it could be the child-parent relationship focused story that the animated Dumbo failed at.
The one thing I took away from this, never give Mason unrelenting power. He will enact his vengeance on everyone who wronged him..... It's like that scene from Billy Madison where he calls & apologises to Steve Bushemi & he takes him off the murder list. You better apologise now Mr. Sunday.
Love Disney, love how you guys are doing this, but just saying, if you want more Disney content as these come out, Aladdin and Lion King on Sega could be amazing companion videos.
They are correct about Disney's Sad/Less Sad Formula. In 2018, the company released 10 theatrical films -- live-action and animated -- that featured a dead/missing parent Disney troupe. The one movie that did not feature the trope had a scene that made fun of that trope. Wazupwitdat?!
Everyone says the crows are racist stereotypes, but every single character that Dumbo interacts with in this movie are awful (except Mrs. Jumbo and the mouse) and the crows are the only ones who show any compassion or belief in Dumbo. So they are actually sympathetic characters and should be praised as such.
By the ninth time they they said, "well they're slaves/their enslaved", and the shot they showed was Dumbo and his mom's nice carriage on the train I realised the metaphor. It's just society. None of the animals are exactly happy about being in the circus, but none of them are scrambling to leave. It's life and Dumbo, useless as he is, found a talent that no one else could preform. It's pretty basic, but I sorta realised that all of Disney films are like this. I wonder how they get to be like that? Where do you start and how?
Dumbo was my favorite film as a child and the pink elephant sequence is incredible and should be noted as one of the best scenes in animation history. I hate both of you You guys are great
I thought I was the only one who used to get really sad (I still get sad actually) from watching the old Disney classics. Dumbo was indeed one of the saddest movies ever :(
My grandma had this on vhs in the mid 80s. I watched it a lot, probably around 20 times. Its a classic. The animation and voices are amazing. The songs are excellent. The story is super sad.
Sterling Holloway is amazing! Kaa was hilarious and so was the Cheshire cat. I just love how he did creepy characters like that and Winnie the Pooh with the same voice.
I don't think any modern meme can top the unintentional hilarity of a living peanut shucking and jiving while saying "there's a whole lot of nuttin' going on"
If Mason doesn't like Aladdin then he is truly not a fan of musicals because this is arguably one of the very best. And as far as music and songs go I would also recommend Hercules. And we can't deny that The Little Mermaid is fantastic and they should just leave that one alone.
Robert Lewis honestly I still haven’t seen Aladdin but from what I’ve seen most of the music numbers are underwhelming. Friend like me and I can show you the world are pretty great. Maybe it’s because the first Disney movie I remember seeing was The Lion King and every single song in that is fantastic
The "Pink Elephants On Parade" bit was such famous nightmare fuel that they did a sort of tribute to it in one of the Winnie-the-Pooh shorts, "Heffalumps and Woozles", which is if anything even more trippy.
My grandma used to take me to the zoo as a kid, and I can't remember exactly how old I was when I started to hate the place but musta been under 10. Two of my most enduring memories of the horror of the place are a) the wedge tail eagles in an aviary where they couldn't fly, and B) the elephant. She was all alone in her cell and she would just rock from side to side, all day every day. It still makes me cry to think about what a miserable life she suffered in there.
Glad I'm not the only one who finds Dumbo unbearable sad. Dumbo, Bambi and Fox and the Hound are just...why?!? Of course my compassion for animals might be a direct result of this gratuitous sadness.
With the new Dumbo movie coming out, I sat a long while trying to remember what I could recall of the original. I haven't seen it since I was maybe 5, and all I can remember of it is how dark and depressing this movie is (dark, as in color palette; depressing, because Dumbo is literally sad until he flies). The end. (edit: Oh wow, it *_is_* just a sad melancholy film isn't it. I understand why Tim Burton chose this now)
I laughed so much when I heard "they don't get revenged enough". The more I think about it, it's true. Are you going to look back at any of the other Disney movies that already got live action versions? My favorite is still the Little Mermaid and I really hope it doesn't get made into live action any time soon. But it probably will unfortunately.
As a stereotypical New England white kid living in the suburbs, I loved the crows growing up! Always thought they were cool. Never knew it was racist until high school xD
Christ... Caravan of Garbage has turned into "15 minutes of crippling depression." First a woman's consciousness trapped in a concrete cell in someone else's mind. Then a person forced to shapeshift into cattle and then wiped of all their memories. And now Dumbo? You're killing me here!
I can barely watch this review of Dumbo, I’m still that traumatized. My own mom passed away several years ago and so now even more so I can’t foresee ever willingly watching Dumbo again in this lifetime myself.
I almost spit out my drink at 6:04 when I thought I heard: " there are things I like about this, there are moments with dumbo and his mother, like when they mate"
Roy Disney complained Dumbo wasn't really long enough to be a feature film, but also too long to be sold as a short, which would make it a hard sell to the cinemas. Walt, however, insisted it was perfect as it was and either lengthening it or shortening it would ruin it.
This really is a very melancholic story for kids. That “baby mine” scene is soul crushing.
Having two cynical, broken adults break down why I as a toddler didn't care for Dumbo has revealed more about me than anything else.
Todd Begay Lol exactly 🤣
@@mixedbagclips2511 oop00o)kp Lloyd
Well it's a horror film for a toddler
I love Dumbo, because after every time I watch the movie, I'm always left with the feeling of "what did we learn here?"

Live action Dumbo
😮💨 so.. you're to blame huh?
GIT EM! 🔥🔱🎯
I was enjoying this video but I had to leave to feed that rumbley in my tumbley,
Mason's reaction when James said the dad thing was priceless
I always thought we never saw the mother again and that fucking sad scene where she's locked up was the last time we ever saw her.
I didn't like Dumbo when I was a kid because it wasn't just about a sad story. All the sadness came from all of the people & grown ups being MEAN spirited, lyers, and manipulative.

Dumbo gets hope because people sympathize and help him no one manipulates him.
2:17
James: AS A DAD --
Mason: *exasperated groan*
What’s even more sad about this whole movie, is that Dumbo (Jumbo) is named after a massive famous Elephant who died getting hit by a train in Canada.
As an aside, Caravan of Garbage is BY FAR the best video series on RUclips in my opinion. Every single episode is great, for so many reasons.
Show Mason Song of the South! Nothing wrong with that one, right?
Just mostly the animated parts would be very good, Thank you very much.
It had some good songs.
Who framed Roger Rabbit maybe? It has the same themes of racism and segregation.
6:50 what does an elephant do when it hates itself 😂😂

10:42 "Now this is the scene that uhh...." sometimes James just kills me lmfaooooo (in a good way)
the starkid parody musical is pure gold
I think Dumbo was really about interracial marriage. Elephants with small ears are Asian, and elephants with big ears are African.
damn. Forgotten how terribly SAD this movie is.... it's just too much xD

Dumbo does get revenge in the end, as "Living Well Is The Best Revenge" and Dumo ends up filthy rich. Kid's a Trust Fund Baby by the end.
wasn't the lesson in this movie supposed to be: Be nice to the "special" kid. ( no "or else!", just be nice)
