Okay, so I'm waiting for a friend of mine to finish her work out. Out comes the ol' video ipod and my newly purchased movie, Dumbo--one of my all time favorites. I know that Snow White and Bambi etc.. are considered the classics. But I find myself watching the more quirky offerings from Disney such as Robin Hood and The Jungle Book--the shorts always catch my interest as well. Anyone remember Small One?
So, I'm in public with my little ipod leaning against my knee, and I get to the scene where Dumbo goes to visit his mother in the 'mad elephant' cage she's been cruelly locked up in. Then it starts....I'm completely lost in the movie and the story, and I begin to tear up! Oh no! Not here....should I stop watching the movie? People are going to think I'm nuts looking at my ipod and crying. Luckily I was sitting in a quieter area of the gym and it was sort of late, so no one called security. :0)
The above image is someone else's photo, but I rode that exact ride when I was around 4 or 5. I still have a clear memory of it, and really felt like I was flying. My very patient parents waited in line for over an hour so I could ride Dumbo. On the control panel you could push a button that made you rise up while it spun around. Really neat!

One of my favorite songs is from Dumbo. The "Baby Mine" song, which I think is the one you're talking about here. (I haven't seen Dumbo in awhile, so I'm not exactly sure.) But, the movie version isn't my favorite. I prefer Allison Kraus' version. Her voice is so beautiful and the way she sings it makes it sound so much sadder, yet beautiful to me. :)
