I remember watching the animated version when I was a kid, but I don't recall the contents of the film. I went in with zero preconceptions or judgements.
I really liked how they brought Dumbo and mother's characters alive, and made me feel sadness at their separation and treatment. Obviously, the idea of a flying elephant is plain silly, but they managed to pull it off without making it look too silly.
