Fly Dumbo Fly
Rewatching this classic animation movies now as a adult, its so great and wonderful and gives a whole new perception on this classic animation films that you wouldnt as a child. Dumbo being one of them.

The Plot: A young circus elephant is born with comically large ears and given the cruel nickname Dumbo. One day at a show, he is taunted by a group of kids, inciting his mother into a rage that gets her locked up. After Dumbo's ears cause an accident that injures many of the other elephants, he is made to dress like a clown and perform dangerous stunts. Everything changes when Dumbo discovers that his enormous ears actually allow him to fly, and he astounds everyone at the circus with his new talent.

Seeing Dumbo finally fly for the first time, made me cry. It was such a great moment.

A classic.

One of the really early Asterix stories (from 1964), where Asterix and Obelisk head off to Rome to rescue Cacofonix the bard, who has been captured by the Romans stationed around the village, and taken in chains to Rome to be presented to Caesar/fed to the Circus.

I've also only just discovered that this is the first book in the series in which Obelisk says "These Romans are crazy!"
