Dumbo

Parents need to know that Dumbo, Disney's short-and-sweet tale of a shy little circus elephant with supersized ears, is considered controversial because of its crow characters. On the one hand, critics claim the crows are animated minstrel parodies, while Disney apologists say the crows are the only likeable characters besides Dumbo, his mom, and Timothy the mouse. If you're OK with the representation of the crows, there are still a couple of disturbing scenes, particularly when Mrs. Jumbo is captured after defending Dumbo. Plus, Dumbo and Timothy accidentally get drunk and hallucinate the "Pink Elephants on Parade" segment, that's alternately trippy, creepy, and cute. Overall, the message is that we should celebrate and not mock each other's differences.
