History Heartwarming / Dumbo

** 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 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!"

* 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.

*** [[https://www.heraldtribune.com/news/20170713/peta-says-feld-closing-center-for-elephant-conservation The Ringling Brothers center is in the process of closing]] and dispersing the elephants to places with proper environments, and several elephant sanctuaries have spoken up offering to take them.
* The newspapers at the end have articles on UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, and one of the images shows "'Dumbombers' for defense". After the outbreak of WWII, Disney began designing military insignia. Dumbo was featured in several.

* Just any scene with Dumbo and his mother. Every time Mrs Jumbo looks at him, you can see how much she loves her baby.

** The entire ending. 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!"

** 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!

* Just any scene with Dumbo and his mother.

** The sequence was storyboarded by Bill Peet, who writes that he drew inspiration from having just had his own first child at the time. Awwww.

** Dear god, the entire ending. 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!"

** 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, I'm pretty sure if they knew about Dumbo's struggle to find his self-worth, they wouldn't have had mocked Timothy's idea.

** Just the fact that Timothy managed to arrange a visit for Dumbo to see his mother, especially given the abuse that the poor little elephant just went through with the clowns.
