Aww! I wish I wouldn't cry! Every time I see this part in the movie tears come to my eyes! Does any one else cry? I mean poor Dumbo's mother is in jail and when he sees her this song is played... It is so Beautiful! The beautiful relationship between a mother and her child... Aww I'm gonna CRY! :-(
shareim just the same!! i start cryin as soon as the elephants mention his ears at the beginnin n dont stop untill the end!!! how can summet sooo depressin be sooo entertaining?????
Nobodys perfect but im so close it scares me
I definitely cried a lot everytime I watch the movie and see that part. It is so sad. His poor mother, not to mention poor Dumbo. He can't even kiss or hug his own mother! It was a sad and beautiful part of an already wonderful movie. What a beautiful and touching song that was, as well.

As much as I cry during that part, what really makes me cry the most is when the mom has her trunk wrapped around him and you see this huge tear drop fall! Aww poor baby makes me sad... The other part is when the mouse gets his tear and drops it... Aww too sad for words!

It's so Beautiful! I can't watch it because I break down
shareYeah I know how you all feel. I always and always cry at this scene. When I was little, when the movie came to BETA tape VCRs and my family wanted to watch the movie while I was around to watch it with them too, my Mom would always distract me because of how many times I've cried and my siblings would get annoyed saying things like "Make her stay quiet! We're trying to watch the movie." And I would feel bad as it is...
But now I own it on DVD as of a year or two ago, and whenever that scene comes, it's a good time to cry. So sad. A mother not being able to see her own child Even the song from the whole scene just makes me... Just makes me cry everytime I hear it. Imagine if you were in Dumbo's case, you'd probably cry all the time.
Still, a heart-warming and powerful song it is indeed, I agree with you all. A good tear-dripper.
Tears well up in my eyes every single time I watch that scene! The parts of the scene that really get me are when Dumbo starts crying and the song is going "Baby mine, dry your eyes, baby mine don't you cry," and the end of the song when it goes, "From your head to your toes, your so sweet, goodness knows. You are so precious to me, cute as can be, baby of mine."
"To love another person is to see the face of God"
i've always cried at the end of dumbo!! when i first saw it as a little kid, the end made me cry and it still does. its so beautiful when he's reunited with his mother!!
I cry everytime as well. This is by far my favorite Disney movie of all times!
I know about the realtionship between mother and child, I have two girls and whenever we watch this movie and that sceen comes on I just hug and kiss and cuddle them, I can't help it!
STOP IT! STOP IT!! I'M GONNA' START CRYING AGAIN!! Oooooooh! That's definately the saddest scene in any Disney movie IMO...
shareNot only do I cry every time at the "Baby Mine" scene and song, I also cry in the beginning when Mrs. Jumbo wants a baby so badly and sees the stork bringing babies to so many of the other animals. Guess my Mom-ness is showing...
shareI never want children, I really don't like them, but dear god, my "Mom-ness" starts up like mad during that opening scene too!
Even the most useless person can serve as a bad example.
Movie girl: I agree. Who is the singer? She was fabulous and not even credited. Plus the musical soundtrack was super as well - in that part of the film especially. Dumbo is my favorite.
shareThe amazing thing about this scene is the fact that we're being moved to tears by DRAWINGS. These aren't real people being portrayed; it's an animated baby elephant and his mother. Yet the animation is so good that we forget that it's an animated film and we buy into the emotion of the scene. When the trunk wraps around Dumbo's face and that tear wells up in his eye, oh, boy, there go the waterworks. That is movie magic, truly. The music naturally adds to the entire scene, and when we hear it later, without the film image, we're reminded of the scene, simply because it's so very strongly crafted. And that scene was done by one animator - Vladimir "Bill" Tytla, one of Disney's greatest. Reportedly he based his animation of Dumbo on his then-two-year-old son, Peter.
sharereally the most emotional part of the film. really does make u all soft inside and break down and cry.im 13 yrs old and i still cry like mad on this scene and start to get soft when i hear the song alone.
shareThe scene is touching also because sadly, due to her chains, Mrs Jumbo can't see her son. And all she can go by is what her trunk can feel. The scene where she's kind of feeling his head and trunk, and you get the feeling she acknowledges it, and tries to console him. This is teh first time they've been close since she was locked away.
Of course at the end, there is the reuniting, as Dumbo has grown so famous he has his own private car, and his Mother is there waiting for him to come back.

Isn't it weird how songs like this don't seem to move us as much when we're kids, and then suddenly you grow up and you're like, wow, I totally don't remember being so moved!! This song definitely makes me cry now, the only Disney song to do so aside from La La Lu of Lady and the Tramp (don't ask me why; it just does).
If truth is stranger than fiction, where are the flying monkeys?
I kinda thought I was the only one who felt this way about that scene. This movie is kinda sad in general, but that scene is particularly sad.
COME NOT BETWEEN THE DRAGON AND HIS WRATH
I cry everytime I see that scene!Think about it.Being torn away from your mom like that,and as a child.I shed tears everytime i see that sce.....*sniffle*
<repeatedly>I'm not gonna cry,I'm not gonna cry,I'm not gonna....(Crying Loudly).
I need a moment.....
yup tru dat... the most beautiful scene in the movie... tears flow down my face and then I can't stop
shareI can't remember the song but I remember the scene.(I guess at five years old, I was pretty oblivious to sentiment)
And although Disney tended to make Saccharine loaded movies during the 1940's period, I like my sugar the way it is.
It was so..innocent with no implied scenes, no dubious winks,nods or cyniscism.
Just a simple scene where mother and child bond through touch alone.
Definitely a classic Disney moment!
first off, at the risk of being redundant, i'd have to agree, i get real effing teary eyed when i even think of this movie, always reminds me of my mom when i was little. however, my main point is that this thread totally rules, because although there isn't any awesome debate or anything going on here, it's nice to be able to go into a disney movie thread and not find a single sh*ttalker hell bent on pissing everyone off. anyway, awesome movie, great point about Tytla, Disney rules, 'nuff said.
shareGood point. It isn't just Disney threads, it's every thread on this whole web-site.
This thread alone is making me cry, haahah.
Oh my god, this is the saddest movie ever! I spend most of it crying and the rest of it Awwing about how damn cute lil dumbo is...so frickin adorbale! I cried when i was 3 and i still cry now...like 14yrs later haha
