One of my favourite parts about Dumbo was how Joe and Milly will jump through hoops to help others. When they found out Dumbo could fly, they spent hours with him perfecting his craft. And the second the sweet little elephant was separated from his mother, the pair swore they'd do whatever it takes to reunite them down the road, proving a little empathy for others can go a long way.
Both Milly and Joe also have no qualms about standing up for causes they believe in. Although several adult characters tell Milly that science is something only boys can be interested in, she persists, using the scientific method to eventually get Dumbo off the ground. And Joe doesn't back down either: the second the adults suggested separating Dumbo and Mrs. Jumbo, Joe immediately fought back.
