The picture of Stifler's mom immediately reminded me of Mrs Robinson. Yes....I've seen both. One only once. The other a dozen times or more. Take a guess which is which.

Sorry about the tears... at least they are happy ones ! Is the Dumbo story sharable, Nalkarj ? There was always something horrible happening to animated "mom" in the Walt Days Am racking my head to find a Happy Walt Era animated Mom … Cinderalla ? nope ~ evil stepmother Pinocchio ? none ~ good or bad Snow White ? fer shure no ! Sleeping Beauty - mom (what we see of her) isn't happy very long erm and argh ! But another time and thread for this, eh ?

Sara Allgood is a good choice.
I'm also fond of Cagney's mom in 'Public Enemy', Beryl Mercer.
And of course, Ma Kettle herself, Marjorie Main as Bogey's mom in 'Dead End'.

There’s nothing particular about Dumbo, I just remember watching it and being close to my mother, feeling bad for Dumbo’s mother as well and Mom humming the “Baby Mine” song to me. Mother’s Day is this weekend, so I suppose it’s a good time to be reminiscing. Just nice memories…
