* The opening scene with the various circus babies being delivered to their mothers.
* Just any scene with Dumbo and his mother. Every time Mrs. Jumbo looks at him, you can see how much she loves her baby.
* Dumbo's bath.
* "What's the matter with his ears? I don't see nothin' wrong with 'em. I think they're cute."
* Timothy's friendship with Dumbo. He becomes a sort of substitute parent, who looks after the little guy when he sees he needs a friend.
** How Dumbo always holds Timothy's tail, the same way a child would hold the hand of his/her caretaker. (And which young elephants will often do in real life, usually with their mothers.)
** Just the fact that Timothy managed to arrange a visit for Dumbo to see his mother, shows how much he cares for his friend’s well-being, especially given the abuse that the poor little elephant just went through with the clowns.
* For all its [[TearJerker heartbreaking factor]], the sheer amount of ''love'' in "[[ParentalLoveSong Baby Mine]]" is one of the purest and most beautiful moments in Disney history.
** Very, very much crosses over with TearJerker.
** The sequence was storyboarded by Creator/BillPeet, who explains in his autobiography that he drew inspiration from having just had his own first child at the time. Awwww.
* One of the clowns actually showing sympathy for Dumbo when the others suggest raising the platform of the house, when he says, "Don't hurt the little guy." However, this is immediately squashed when the others suggest that "elephants don't have feelings" and that "they're made of rubber".
* Dumbo finally discovering that his handicap-his large ears-give him the unique ability to fly. And the final scene where he loses his supposedly "magic feather" but still flies due to sheer will power, amazing everyone in the process and then punishing everybody who was ever mean to him: the circus ringmaster, the clowns, the other elephants...
* The end where they wave goodbye with their trunks.
** The entire ending. The elephants [[TookALevelInKindness are in a much better mood and not mocking Dumbo behind his back]], Casey Jr. is happily chugging along with the circus in a greater state of success, and Dumbo flies down into [[EarnYourHappyEnding his mother's arms]], covers her face with kisses, and throws his ears around her in a hug. Meanwhile, one of the crows is calling out, "Happy landings, son!"
* The skating scene in the "Pink elephants" sequence, as well as the big party. It was quite sweet until the part where [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext everyone turned into vehicles.]]
* Though they're initially mocking, the way the Crows rally together to help Dumbo learn how to fly after hearing of his troubles is really sweet.
** Just the fact that the crows weren't mocking Dumbo's ears like everyone else has. They were actually mocking Timothy's strange idea of an elephant flying. And judging from [[EverybodyCries their tears]] after being called out, it's pretty clear that if they knew about Dumbo's struggle to find his self-worth, they wouldn't have had mocked Timothy's idea.
** There’s also a Fridge Heartwarming for behind-the-scenes. Most of the 5 crows except 1 were voiced by actual African-Americans. Not only that, but they are also shown in a more positive and sympathetic way back in the day. For a work made in 1941, that’s truly great!
* Even though it only aggravates the situation, the circus employee who snatches Dumbo out from under the enraged Mrs Jumbo and carries him away. In Mrs Jumbo's mind it's somebody taking her child from her but their mind they probably just don't want to risk a baby animal getting trampled by its hostile mother.
