Note: It is not my place to decide what is and is not offensive. Fun fact: While the main crow, Jim Crow (could Disney not be anymore obvious), was voiced by a white male (Cliff Edwards) , the rest of the crow were voiced by African Americans which was extremely rare for its time. The song, "When I See an Elephant Fly", was also sung by an all African American choir (Hall Johnson Choir). Many speculate these choices were to help soothe racial controversies that would come with the obvious call to minstrel shows in the animation style of the crows. Also keep in mind this movie was released during segregation.

Dumbo already destroyed me as a kid.. up to the point where my mom had to confiscate the VHS tape for a while because the movie made me so sad. Excited to see what you think about it.

You were right with Dumbo being one of the earlier Disney animated movies. Dumbo is their fourth full length animated movie. Snow White was the first in 1937 then followed by Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo and Bambi was the 5th. So you have almost watched all of the original five or what some call the golden age of Disney animation :)

Fun fact: Dumbo is Disney’s only main protagonist in an animated film to not have any dialogue.
