Walt Disney's Dumbo (1941) is a great animated film that deals with discrimination, self-esteem, and the importance of family and friendship. In the opening sequence, a stork delivers a baby elephant to Mrs. Jumbo, a veteran of the tough circus world. All the other elephants ridicule the newborn Jumbo for his gigantic ears. He is dubbed "Dumbo" and is shut out. After his mother has been locked up in a jaillike wagon for protecting him, Dumbo is all alone. Heartbreaking is the scene when Dumbo's mother in chains rocks him with her trunk from beyond the bars. Dumbo is relegated to the circus clown acts. It is up to his only friend, Timothy Q Mouse, to assist the little elephant to achieve his full potential. Dumbo learns that he can fly and becomes a star.

The 2nd episode, Davy Crockett Goes To Congress, was not included. The film depicts the legends (and myths) from the life of famed American frontiersman Davy Crockett (Fess Parker). Crockett and his friend George Russell (Buddy Ebsen) fight in the Creek Indian War and save the soldiers from being wiped out by the Creeks. The Appalachians of North Carolina where the Creek War skirmishes were filmed show beautiful mountain vistas and add realism to the film. Later, Crockett and Russell journey to Texas and fight with friends against the Mexican army in the famous battle at the Alamo. Originally, Buddy Ebsen was going to play Davy Crockett until Walt Disney saw Fess Parker in the Science-Fiction film Them! (Gordon Douglas. 1954). When he saw Parker, he said, "That's my Davy Crockett!"
