Sex & Nudity
-
- None of any concern.
Violence & Gore
-
- Dumbo's mother has a breakdown in one scene over some young elephant bullies and is restrained by circus actors. Maybe hard to watch for some people.
- Dumbo is ridiculed by a group of boys, causing his mother to spank one of them. She goes mad, and throws bales of hay at other people. Dumbo is later separated from her.
- The Pyramid of Pachyderms collapses, causing the elephants to destroy the circus tent. Later, they are shown injured and bruised.
Profanity
-
- None. Some racial stereotyping which has attracted criticism in recent years.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Dumbo gets drunk. An acid trip (involving "Pink Elephants") follows.
- Jim Crow smokes a cigar.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The psychedelic pink elephants may seem quite disturbing and intense.
- There is a scene implying a group of black elephants are slaves.
- Some outdated racial stereotypes such as a crow named "Jim Crow" who is a caricature of African American stereotypes of the time this film was made. However on Disney+ there is a disclaimer before the film denouncing this stating this was common at the time the film was made.
- Animal cruelty and the objectification of animals for entertainment is a recurring theme throughout the film, and can be emotionally distressing.
- Dumbo is repeatedly teased and treated with scorn by other characters for his appearance. Allies help him to understand his own self worth, but the journey to this conclusion can be upsetting for sensitive viewers, and might benefit from adult supervision to help in the processing of these themes.
- The infamous pink elephant scene.
Spoilers
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- The song "baby mine" can be tear jerking when Dumbo reunites with his mom.
- The film can be emotionally intense at times, such as when Dumbo's mom is taken away from him, they are both clearly upset and want to remain together, but can't. You should not tease someone for any reason, because anyone can reach their goal if they try.
