As for “Dumbo,” Timothy Mouse steps up and proves again that Disney really does its best with mice. And, Lampwick shows Pinocchio what not to do when they are together on Pleasure Island. Jiminy Cricket is the first that comes to mind as he serves as Pinocchio’s conscience. “Pinocchio” has some of the best supporting characters of all time. This is tough because there are plenty of antagonists to choose from, but I’m going to give the edge to “Pinocchio.” I think Honest John has more of a direct effect on Pinocchio’s actions than any of the antagonists in “Dumbo.” Point to “Pinocchio.” Then, when Dumbo is made to perform with the clowns, they keep making him do incredibly dangerous stunts. The mean kids harass Dumbo to the point that Jumbo attacks them to protect him and forces the ringmaster to lock her up. Meanwhile, there are also many antagonists throughout “Dumbo.” The other elephants who hate Dumbo because of his ears keep putting him down. The whale swallows him whole, but Pinocchio is able to save Gepetto, Figaro and Cleo nearly dying in the process. Later, after Pinocchio has escaped Pleasure Island, he goes out on the sea to help rescue Gepetto from Monstro. Then, he leads Pinocchio to the boat to Pleasure Island. He leads Pinocchio away from school to be an actor. There are two main antagonists throughout “Pinocchio.” The first is Honest John who keeps leading Pinocchio astray. In the end, Pinocchio becomes a real boy by nearly dying to save his father, Gepetto, from the whale, “Monstro.” And, Dumbo figures out how to fit in at the circus when the crows teach him to fly using his ears and “the magic feather.” Both are very interesting protagonists, but I’m going to give the slight edge to Pinocchio. Dumbo is trying to fit in at the circus while other animals make fun of him, kids harass him and the clowns make him do the dangerous stunts. But, the other elephants call him Dumbo because of his big ears. Dumbo is actually Jumbo Jr., the son of Jumbo. ![]() ![]() He must prove to be honest, brave and true to become a real boy. Pinocchio is the main character of “Pinocchio,” while Dumbo is the main character of “Dumbo.” Pinocchio is a wooden puppet who is brought to life by the Blue Fairy. The main character of both of these films are obvious from the names. So let’s take a look at who wins this classic battle. This week, it’s a battle of two of the classic films of Disney’s Golden Age of Animation as “Pinocchio” faces off against “Dumbo.” “Pinocchio” is the second feature length animated film produced by Disney while “Dumbo” is the fourth.
