Dumbo (1941)
Not Disney's greatest achievement, despite clocking in at a mere 61 minutes there's barely enough story to fill the running time which is padded out by a lengthy hallucinatory sequence which although well done adds nothing to the plot.
The crows which cause controversy as they are alleged racial stereotypes however are pivotal to the plot and also have the best and most famous song in "When I See An Elephant Fly".
The Dumbo baby elephant is the films redeeming feature as it's so bloomin' cute and you just want to cuddle him.
