Description
During childhood, there are a lot of "What-the-flip?" moments that accrue. For a lot of us, specially the Disney VHS generation, one of the most craziest and controversial sights were The Pink Elephants from 1941's Dumbo.
This moment is known for two matters, frightening so many young children, even to this day, and... coming out of nowhere. However, I never was really afraid of these technicolor pachyderms. I did think the elephant-headed-limb walker thing may have looked scary, but overall, I was never bothered by this scene. In fact, I actually enjoyed this unnatural circus-ride. It isn't expected, the song is fun, and everything after the "scar" part is really pointless slowness. Then when all has been jazzed up, it BURST into an uncontrollable snap, and then BOOOOOOOOOOM! All because Dumbo & Timothy got drunk... which is the third factor it is controversial for. But remember kids, this is why we do not drink alcohol.
As a child (who knew drugs were bad... although not aware of how messed up a person can be after taking them), I never questioned this scene... until recently, with being informed and realzing that the moment contributed nothing to the story (well, maybe it did, but not in a positive way). It marched in for some reason, did some s... snot, and left! And what makes it crazier, is that the characters never bring it up again... okay, Timothy groaned over the event. This is what the Internet labels a "Big Lipped Alligator Moment".
Scenes like this (and the Heffalumps and Woozles) are so fun and psychedelically wild: I am kind of sad the modern cinema doesn't do these weird acid trips anymore. I mean, they were not just off, but also... creative.
I really really like how my illustration turned out. It's wild, high, and... well, to state the obvious, PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINK!
