John Lasseter recommended Dumbo (1941) in Movies (curated)

Dumbo (1941)
1941 | Animation, Classics, Family

"Dumbo is my favorite movie of all time. A remarkable motion picture. Just over 60 minutes, it’s so tight in terms of storytelling. It’s like [snaps fingers]. When you have kids and you watch Dumbo, it really nails you because there’s that “Baby Mine” sequence. I like [Dumbo] because it’s the most cartoony of Disney features. I like it because the main character doesn’t talk. Such a wonderful film. It is very funny. Great music. It also really moves you. It has a really huge heart. Walt Disney always said that for every laugh, there should be a tear. I live by that."

A thriller I never got around to seeing back at the time. It starts well enough with 2 young kids going to live with their guardians after their parents are in an accident. Although are their guardians as nice as they think they are? It starts to unravel quite well with new bits of information being discovered, quite an intricate web of deceit. Just as it all builds up towards the finale it has an ending that feels rather rushed and not fitting the rest of the film. Could have been better. Currently on Amazon prime.

Album Favorite

"There’s just so much on this: It’s a double album and by the time you finish it—if you can finish it—you can’t remember what you heard at the beginning. I liked that,” he said of Beefheart. “It was anti-music in the most interesting and insane way, like kids learning to play violin—which I was going through at the time. So all the bum notes I was being told off for by the teachers were finally being released by well-known artists. “That was my confirmation. From then on, there was room for everything"
