Dumbo coloring pages are featuring Dumbo, Timothy Q. Mouse, Mrs. Jumbo, The Ringmaster, Casey Junior, Mr. Stork, Jim Crow, Crow Chorus, Elephant Catty, Elephant Giddy, Elephant Prissy, Skinny and other characters from Disney's Dumbo animated film. Try to guess who is who.
Dumbo is a curious sort of thing, the kind of story that might accidentally find itself written down on a scrap of interstellar parchment and mistaken for a guide to the peculiar habits of Earth’s pachyderm population. It follows a baby elephant with ears so large they could double as solar panels for a moderately sized moon colony. And yet, instead of being utterly baffled by their purpose, young Dumbo eventually realizes these floppy appendages are his ticket to fame, fortune, and—presumably—a somewhat disorienting relationship with gravity. It’s a tale packed with so much heart and whimsy that even hardened space bureaucrats might consider approving an elephant-sized hug quota for all sentient species.
To begin with, Dumbo suggests that the things which make you stick out like a sore thumb—or in Dumbo’s case, a pair of extraordinarily aerodynamic ears—might actually be your superpower in disguise. Dumbo, initially mocked for his unusual appearance, eventually discovers he can use his ears to defy the laws of physics and, presumably, raise a few questions in the aviation community. This teaches children that their quirks, oddities and inexplicably large appendages might just turn out to be their greatest strengths. It’s a message so profound you’d expect it to be delivered by a philosopher—or, failing that, a mouse in a tiny jacket.
