Summary: A classic for good reason!
Review: This movie is entertaining for people of all ages. Although it reflects some views that are not considered politically correct these days, it still has great value. Most importantly, my son LOVES all of the different types of animals that can be seen throughout the film.

Summary: Disney's Dumbo 60th Anniversary DVD
Review: What's amazing about Disney's 4th feature, "Dumbo", is that it is probably one of the most simple looking animated features of all time, yet it is one of the best. Proving that even the most detailed art is not required to carry a movie, most of the films backgrounds and characters are not as intricate and detailed as "Snow White" or "Pinocchio", they are VERY simple. "Dumbo" instead relys on a good story, that I'm sure you are fimiliar with. A simple, but rich 64 minutes telling the story of a baby elephant with big ears, that is an outcast. The reason that this movie has lasted for so long, aside from being Disney, is that everyone can relate to it, as said throughout the disc's extras and commentary.The DVD has a good Dolby Digital 5.1 mix, but I was rather disappointed with the picture quality. It claims to have a remastered picture, but there is so much grain, and dirt throughout the feature. After what Disney DVD did for "Snow White", I was expecting a little more for this release. The extras are great: the commentary is very informative, the concept arts are interesting, and "Celebrating Dumbo" is a good enough featurette. The only negative is that Disney Co. is continuing to ruin the classics, by attaching unnecessary sequels. Inferior by existing Disney video sequel reputation, "Dumbo II" is on it's way. "Dumbo", costing only $800,000, saved Disney from the WWII-caused financial failures of "Pinocchio" and "Fantasia". So it is one of the important stepping blocks of Disney's history and one of the most enjoyable animated features of all time.

Summary: Classic Disney movie for all ages...score: 80 (out of 100)
Review: The first time I came into contact with DUMBO (1941) was in Steven Spielberg's "1941", where a macho general (Robert Stack) is watching the "Baby Mine" scene. He starts to shead tears, and the audience uproars with laughter. When I rented the 50th anniversary edition, I knew why the general cried. I did the same, and then I started laughing, too. Here is a movie for all ages. It hasn't dated over the years, which makes it perfect. The message is clear - inner strength, friendship, and love conquers all. The "Pink Elephants" and "Baby Mine" scenes are still classics. The most touching scene in movie history, of course, is when Jumbo Jr. sees his mother in jail, and the song, "Baby Mine", is played. Although FANTASIA, SNOW WHITE, PINOCCHIO, and LION KING are much better animated films from Disney, DUMBO tugs more at the heart. Score: 80 (out of 100)

Summary: The Greatest!
Review: This movie is the greatest! I am 13 and still love this movie.(you should see my room Dumbo everywhere) When I was 4 or so I didn't know that he got drunk. I thought it was water in the bottle. Even though it's short, it is still a great movie. It's a great movie to watch if your kid has short attatand(sp) span.

Summary: Timeless Classic that's dated yet still great.
Review: My main compliant with this dvd is the fact that it's a short movie, yet still priced so high. Maybe they could have made a cool two disk set with tons of extras for this price, but maybe that's planned for the future.
In any case, the movie, as short as it is, is still a classic and is worth owning if you are into Disney films and have kids. Even though it lacks the adult humor and sophistication of today's modern animation and certainly isn't as polished the modern computer aided visuals are, the writing, especially in the movies songs, is well done and allows the movie to stand as solid entertainment.
The sequence Pink Elephants on Parade is perhaps one of animations greatest ever, and its dated art, while placing it the period it was done, is still outstanding and worth the price of admission by itself. The crows singing about never seeing an elephant fly is another great musical sequence. The musical portions coupled with the fairly basic plot line make this an attractive movie for young children, the story is endearing, and the main character lovable, a solid recommendation for the dvd library.

Summary: Great ,but sad
Review: I love this movie so much.I always cry.It's sad how they make fun of Dumbo just because of the his ears.It's sad, but great.
It teaches a lesson.Oh and your children are not going to care about the part when they get drunk.
They would think they are dreaming or something like that.Besides Dumbo did not know there are beer
in the water.Buy this.It's great!

Summary: A movie that I still love
Review: I loved this movie when I was younger. My mother say's that my favorite part was the pink elephants. Of course when I was a kid, I didnt understand the concept of drunkness. This will probably go over your child(rens) head.
Anyway, the movie is sad and yet an uplifting message about overcoming diversity and being all that you could be. Dont not allow your child to watch this for fear of "the wrong message" there are many positive aspects to this movie that you can go over with your child as you watch.
