Things I learned from watching Dumbo

Just watched Dumbo for a Disney story I’m working on.

I learned a lot:

The stork delivers babies to all the good animal boys and girls

Crows talk a little like Amos and Andy

The right kind of booze will make you hallucinate psychedelic patterns and pink elephants (Disney animators must have been into some serious ish back in the day)

Female elephants are horrible gossips

Clowns are evil

    Hmm, absinthe, maybe. Nah, too late, by the 1930s.

    By the way, I like the uh, Wagnerian title of this url.

    The sequence definitely has an absinthe kind of vibe. Then again you never know how elephants are gonna react to this stuff.

    It wasn’t Sterno was it?

    You’re right, I’m not conversant with the particulars of elephant alcohol metabolism.
