6 Best Live-Action Dumbo Quotes

I finally had the pleasure of watching the new Dumbo movie and these are the best Live-Action Dumbo Quotes from the film! These movie quotes will give you all the feels.

I finally made the time to sit down and watch Disney's Live-Action Dumbo movie. Now, I wonder what took me so long. The film was so much more than I expected it to be. It was also much different than I'd imagined.

Unlike most Tim Burton films, 2019's Dumbo isn't dark, weird, or scary. In fact, it was absolutely beautiful. The scenes were filled with beautiful colors and crisp, clean settings.

The very best journey, my friend, is the one that leads home.

It's actually hard to believe that Dumbo isn't a real elephant in this live-action version of Dumbo. I guess that's why they call in “live-action” – they make it look as realistic as possible.

Many times, my eyes filled with tears. I barely remember the animated Dumbo. So, I didn't expect to feel so emotional as I watched this one. Apparently, many fans felt the same way.

I must say, the writers did a fantastic job at coming up with movie quotes that were inspirational and relatable. I also loved how the quotes weren't just shoved in places they didn't belong with an intention to strike a chord. They were well-placed and hit the right emotions at exactly the right time.

If you watched this film, you probably overlooked this quote because it's simple, right? However, I interpreted it much differently. To me, this quote tells children (and adults) that we don't need a crutch to make it. We can do it all by ourselves. Even if sometimes it doesn't seem that way!
