Dumbo

The emotional responses to Dumbo (2019) are primarily driven by its 'Family, Adventure, Fantasy' genres and the central plot of an outcast finding his place. Empathy is high due to Dumbo's initial struggles and the challenges faced by Holt's family and the struggling circus. This is closely followed by Sadness stemming from Dumbo's initial ridicule and potential separation. As Dumbo's unique ability is discovered and he begins to fly, Hope, Inspiration, and Awe become prominent, reflecting the magic and triumph over adversity. The film also evokes Joy and Happiness with Dumbo's successes and the eventual positive resolution. Elements of Anticipation and Excitement are present during Dumbo's performances and the unfolding adventure, while Anxiety and Anger arise from the manipulative actions of the entrepreneur V.A.
