Excitement Surrounds the Live-Action Adaptation: Complete YouTube Playlist of Wonderful BGM from Disney's "Dumbo"♡

Attention to Disney Movie Dumbo ♡

Released in 1941 in the U.S., Dumbo is a Disney animated feature film *

This is a touching story depicting the friendship and struggles of a gentle elephant named Dumbo with large ears and a circus mouse named Timothy.

In Japan, it was released in 1954 under the title "The Flying Elephant Dumbo" *

Dumbo is also making headlines as a live-action movie directed by Tim Burton that will be released simultaneously in Japan and the U.S. on March 29, 2019 ♩

I definitely want to see what kind of story the live-action Dumbo will portray! ♡

Here is the teaser movie that has been released *

I Want to Play Dumbo's Songs at My Wedding ♩

The songs featured in the movie Dumbo are all charmingly American and have that Disney magic *

Let me introduce them in the order they appear in the film *

Dumbo's Song ① Look Out For Mister Stork

Look Out For Mister Stork is a song called "Be Careful of the Stork" in Japanese ♩

This song plays during the scene when a stork brings each animal in the circus its baby.

It is a slightly sad scene because the stork does not come to Jumbo, the mother elephant,

but in reality, Dumbo is too heavy, causing the delivery delay... ♡

The melody is characterized by its calmness, not too bright nor too dark ♩

Dumbo's Song ② Casey Junior

Casey Junior is the name of the steam train that appears in the movie ♩

Although it's a train, it has been characterized as an animal lover and a hard worker *

The song plays while transporting the circus animals, featuring a cheerful and bright tune.

The sound of the whistle "Poo-Poo!" during the song is also a point of interest ♩

Dumbo's Song ③ Roustabouts

Roustabouts is titled "Tent Raising Song" in Japanese ♩

This song is sung while everyone works together to set up the circus tent in the rain.

The melody features repetitive lyrics like "Hike! Ugh!" making it catchy and fun *

There is a cute scene where little Dumbo is working hard among the adults ♡

Dumbo's Song ④ Baby Mine

Baby Mine is a beautiful ballad sung by Jumbo, the mother elephant, as she thinks of Dumbo ♩

It is a classic lullaby in America, with a gentle melody that evokes a mother's love ♡

However, in the story, Jumbo gets locked up while trying to help Dumbo, who is bullied for his big ears.

Since this song is sung after they have been separated, it is a genuinely heartbreaking moment that one cannot watch without tears...

Dumbo's Song ⑤ Pink Elephants on Parade

Pink Elephants on Parade is the name of the song in Japanese ♡

Dumbo, unaware that he has drunk alcoholic water, sees a hallucination where pink elephants march.

The sight of the pink elephants all marching together is a strange and amusing scene ♡

The song has a slightly peculiar atmosphere ♩

Dumbo's Song ⑥ Hit the Big Boss (For a Raise)

Hit the Big Boss (For a Raise) is called "Clown's Song" in Japanese *

It is a drunken song sung by circus workers while drinking, trying to ask for a higher salary, but

this scene actually hints at an underlying implication of a strike...!

It is painful to see Jumbo, the mother elephant, reaching her trunk toward Dumbo from the nearby cage...

Dumbo's Song ⑦ When I See an Elephant Fly

Finally, I'd like to introduce When I See an Elephant Fly, a song about "What if Elephants Could Fly?" ♩

At first, the crows sing, making fun of the idea that elephants could fly,

but the scene where Dumbo truly learns to fly is so moving ♡

It is a happy song perfect for the finale! *

All of Dumbo's Songs Are Wonderful ♩

Dumbo's story has its heartbreaking moments with Jumbo's farewell and Dumbo being bullied for his large ears, but

even more, the friendship with Timothy the mouse and Dumbo's struggles are inspirational, making it a truly beautiful story ♩

The songs featured in the movie make perfect background music for weddings, so please take the time to listen to them! ♡
