Summary: My favorite disney movie
Review: How can ANYONE diss this movie? I first saw it when I was three years old, and I loved it (besides the pink elephant part). I was too young to compare Dumbo getting to made fun of to getting mocked at school for something physical. I just liked the elephants, the voices, and the music. If you show this movie to a young child, they will not know that the mouse and elephant are drinking alcohol. (I believe I thought they were drinking soap water.) I didn't know the crow's voices at the end sounded different for a reason.

Hold your kid's hand and let them watch this movie. It'll be good for them.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A kid in my class calls me that name when I act stupid
Review: It is really true. He goes. Face it, Dumbo. I think it is because I am really dumb, but not all the time. I didn't see this movie. Well, I'm going to buy it on DVD this Channukah. Hope it is great. Yup, Yup, Yup. Dumbo is a classic cartoon movie you should see. I have the book to it. You know there is a train there. I love trains because I love Thomas The Tank Engine and Friends.

Summary: Dumbo Is MAgic And Tears Everytime I See It.
Review: Dumbo is a classic. He is the ultimate underdog in all of us. What is amazing to me is that here is a character, the main character, who delivers such emotion and reality into his head and heart and he never speaks a word.

The Disney animators were brilliant in storyboarding and animating all these characters in the setting of a traveling circus. Dumbo and Mrs. Jumbo (Dumbo's mother) were persecuted because he was different. Being different was scorned and teased and tortured at this circus. What was different about Dumbo? He had overly large ears.

Thanks to one friend, a small mouse, with the spirit and attitude of a major general, Dumbo learns his value, his importance to his mother and what it means to have a true friend. This movie was very special. It has heart and feeling and the most emotive Disney animated character ever that actually never says a word.

The DVD extras on this release are one of the best of the Disney series; it includes a retrospective history of the making and the design of the film with some of the original artists and Roy Disney himself. There are two sing-a-longs for the kids and even two very cute shorts that were originally produced before Dumbo. One was actually the 'blueprint' for what Dumbo eventually came to be. There is also a music video with Michael Crawford singing Baby Be Mine.

This is a great DVD to have in anyone's Disney collection or animation collection overall. 8-6-02

Summary: Classic Disney Magic
Review: Memorable and touching Walt Disney feature cartoon, about the baby circus elephant with ears so big that he can use them as wings to fly. This project represents the Disney Studio at the peak of its creative years. Unforgettable scenes include the "Baby Mine" number, the "Crow's Song" and the drunken nightmare.

This is one of the classic Disney films making the every-seven-year appearances at movie theatres all over the world. I saw it at age 8 in Frankfurt, Germany, and it was a thrill then like it is so many years later. A true gem!*****

Summary: Sweet, sad, and loveable movie!
Review: I remember watching this as a VERY little girl! It always seemed so safe and innocent even though Dumbo was separated from his mom. As a little kid I didn't notice it so much, but now I can't help but shed a tear at the poor lonely baby with only that little mouse and the crows for companionship. And I definitely agree that adults, esp. parents or those with a maternal streak will cry at "Baby Mine" and also when Dumbo first arrives and his mom wants to protect him from the jeering of the other elephants.
It's kind of like a semi- social commentary. From cruelty to animals to prejudice, there are kind of a lot of issues you could drag out of these 60 minutes! But even if you choose not to, any little kid (or anyone at all, really!) can find something poignant and/or endearing in the movie "Dumbo"!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Wonderful Classic of Innocence and confidence comes to DVD
Review: Dumbo is the story of the World's cutest baby elephant, with the World's biggest pair of ears! Born into a circus life, Dumbo is shunned by the other elephants, with only his mother to provide love and protection. But when Dumbo's mother is carted away for protecting her baby from a mocking group of kids, the little elephant is left with no one. Not for long however, because soon Timothy Mouse comes along and befriends the little fellow. With the help of Timothy, and a local flock of crows, Dumbo develops self respect and self confidence, and learns that "the very things that held him down, are going to carry him up, and up, and up!" Dumbo becomes the world's first and only Flying Elephant!
Dumbo is a true Disney classic! A wonderfully simply and charming tale, told with great music and expert animation! The DVD looks gorgeous, and carries some nice extras. The classic Silly Symphony shorts "Elmer Elephant," (about a little elephant who is made fun of due to his nose while at a friend's birthday party, and yet manages to use that very nose to save the day when a fire breaks out), and "The Flying Mouse," (about a little mouse who wants a pair of wings more than anything, but learns that you are better off the way you are), are included, along with a behind the scenes feature about Dumbo and some other nice treats. This is the way ALL single disc Disney DVDs should be done! Get your copy right away!

Summary: Technical Trouble!!!!
Review: Lots of great features, but it doesn't play correctly on two of my three DVD players. It locks up on the JVC-XV-D723, and won't play on the Mac G3. The Imac G4 plays it fine. Nevertheless, it should work in all DVD players. I've contacted DisneyDVD about the problem, and we'll see how it goes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful!
Review: Dumbo is a great Disney movie and it's now found it's proper home on DVD. While the movie is not as fully-restored as Snow White was for the digital realm, the movie looks and sounds better than ever. Being a 60th anniversary edition, Disney also jam-packed the disc with extra features, including a disturbing look at the upcoming Dumbo II...hehehe, well, maybe that's not such a good thing...oh well. Dumbo is wonderful, and HIGHLY recommended!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Dumbo: A Sugary Tale
Review: Dumbo

running time 60 minutes

reviewed by Sera Elisabeth

Dumbo is Walt Disney's third film. This sweet and sugary tale of a baby elephant with awfully big ears who could fly was a sensational hit. It was also the very first animated feature to have the background painted in watercolor. So, sweet this movie is, it drifts off into a childish whimsy the young can truly enjoy. There is not much plot, but adults will shed a tear when Dumbo's caged mother takes out her trunk through the window, to rock her sweet baby. A very tender moment in Disney history that has been and will be appreciated in years to come.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You are so Precious to me, Cute as can be...
Review: A mother's love has never been so poignantly portrayed as in the scene where Dumbo's imprisoned mother rocks him on her trunk through the bars of her window. She cannot see him, but sings him a lullaby while he cries himself to sleep. Wow! This is a great movie...very touching...you'll never make fun of someone with big ears after seeing this gem!
