...them. There are glimpses of a forthcoming full-length cartoon about a baby circus elephant named Dumbo whose enormous ears mortify him to tears until he becomes an overnight sensation by learning to fly with them; of another full-lengther, Bambi, and its leading man, a little white-tailed fawn; of Donald Duck down on the farm...
