Summary: Dumbo gets drunk and experiences LSD-like trip!
Review: My 2 year old daughter loves this movie. She particularly loves the choo-choo (one of her obsessions right now). can't believe that in our pc world today that this was re-released--dumbo and the mouse get drunk (accidentally, of course, but this would never have happened if the circus clowns hadn't been boozing it up behind the tent); they experience this lsd like trip--pink elephants on parade (which is kind of scarey); and the black crows are definitely supposed to be black. Nonetheless, this music is enjoyable and the moral is sound. I don't think this is harming my daughter, but I cringe at the fact that she wants to watch it 24/7. I have to hold out for 2 times a week despite her protests. I just don't think its healthy for kids to watch the same thing over and over. . . .

Summary: Just Bonus Features This Time!!!
Review: Okay, so who wants to hear about a story that they already know in an Amazon.com customer review?? BLLAAAAADDY, BLLAAAAADDY, BLLAAAAADDY, BLLAAAAADDY, BLLAAAAA!!!!! Anyway, I'm going to tell you about the bonus features on this DVD. All right, so it isn't exactly the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs platinum edition DVD, but still, it does have three pages crammed with bonus stuff. Gee, I don't know where to start! Well, I guess we should start at the least important, and work ourselves up from there. First, there are two different Disney Sing - Along - Songs. There is Casey Jr. This is a combination Sing - Along - Song. Not only does it include Casey Jr., but also Casey Jones, the brave engineer. Then there is Look Out For Mr. Stork. I didn't really pay attention to this one, so I forget what it's like. Next, there is The Dumbo DVD Storybook (Dumbo's Big Discovery.) An interactive story about how Dumbo learned to fly. Well, in a newer version at any rate. All aboard!!, for the Michael Crawford Music Video (Baby Mine.) As featured on Michael Crawford: The Disney Album, this classic song becomes a wonderful work of art. You will love it!! After that, there is Sound Design (Creating The Voice Of Casey Jr.) This is one of the best with a capital B!! Right out of The Reluctant Dragon, this is a funny, outrageous, and an educational way to learn how all the great sound effects are put into your favorite movies. Afterwards, we come to two of Walt's classic Silly Symphonies. There is Elmer Elephant. A classic tale about how a little elephant learns to overcome the teasing of all of the bullies on the playground because of his big trunk, (with the help of a giraffe and his girlfriend, Tillie Tiger.) Then, there is The Flying Mouse cartoon. It's a little scary, so I don't recommend this animated short for audiences six and under. I thought I'd just get this next one out of the way. There's a DVD-ROM with DVD-ROM Weblinks. It won't work without a DVD-ROM drive on your computer, so that's why I can't explain it. During the movie you have a choice whether to watch the movie with Audio Commentary or not. You can turn it on and off in the DVD bonus features section when you come to it in the menu. After which there is an exclusive look at Dumbo 2. They're making it seem that they're continuing the original story as if it happened a day or two ago. My estimate is that this movie should come out in late 2003 or anytime in 2004. Now, unfortunately, we come to the best out of all of them. The last three. I don't know which one should end up on top though. Oh, I know!! Eenie, Meenie, Minie, Moe, catch a tiger by the toe. If he cries, let him go. My mom told me to pick the best one............okay, I've got it. Coming in third place is The Celebrating Dumbo Featurette. A story about Dumbo's history and origins. You will learn all about the making of this timeless film, while having fun, as well. Then, racing into second place is The Original Opening To Dumbo in Walt Disney's Disneyland. It really is kind of neat to see an opening to a movie in black and white. And Walt Disney introducing it on the old T.V. show Disneyland, too. Finally, soaring into what I think should be in first place is, drum roll please...The Dumbo Art Gallery. I think, STOP THAT DRUM ROLL!!! Eh, ha, ha, so sorry. I think that this is the best because I like seeing all of that old concept art, attractions at Disneyland, character sheets, Pink Elephants, and much more in that area. This DVD is fun for the whole family. This is definitely a must have for any Disney DVD collection. Well, that's it. I hope that this review has helped you and encourages to get this DVD.

Summary: An Absolute MUST HAVE!
Review: My 1-1/2 year old daughter loves this movie. The emotion expressed by each animal character is easily identified by her. One of the few long movies she will sit still through!

Summary: O Baby Mine
Review: This is without doubt one of the finest films to come out of Disney ever. Short(only 64 minutes long), but very to the point, and always pulling those heart strings. This is one of those rare films that makes me cry every time I watch it, and if you don't get all misty during the visit at the train car scene with Mrs. Jumbo, you need to seek professional help.
What moves me the most are two things: the special bond between mother and child, and Dumbo being an outcast because of his appearance. Being a tall person, I always stand out in a crowd, and that's not always been pleasant. I have tremendous love and respect for my mother, and it would hurt me terribly to have her removed from me, so I'm deeply moved by the whole film, even thought I know it's all just fantasy. But, isn't that what all film is? Fantasy?
This is just a short, sweet film with a whole lot of heart that proves that all is needed is a story, and believable charactors to fall in love with, and care for, and cheer for.
Add this one to your DVD collection soon, it's well worth it!

Summary: Not up to par with Disney Collector's Edition movies
Review: Although the bonus features on this DVD are good, they are not up to par with Disney Collector's Edition movies. The picture and sound quality are good, so this movie is a good buy.

Summary: A Minor Classic
Review: I understand there are many sentimental parents and grandparents who treasure this movie. Well a 3 year old doesn't care about that; they just want to be entertained. With that as my only criteria, I have to give this 3 stars. The movie is rather slow paced compared to what kids are used to. And there are those now politically incorrect moments, too (specifically racial overtones). They don't bother me, but they could bother some people. We all agree it's a classic, but I doubt all of our kids would.

Summary: Dumbo
Review: I like the cute elephant. He is my favorite character in the movie. I believe my dollars would be better spent on this film than any disney sequel.

Summary: A disney story that you will cherish for a life time.
Review: I love this sweet story everytime I watch it. Dumbo always gives me a tear in my eye because of how all the other elephants make fun of him and tease him because of his big ears!
Dumbo is a movie your entire family will love. It teaches you to always respect those who are different, and to not make fun of them because they look different than you!
That is what Dumbo, the movie is about.
I loved it because Dumbo becomes a "flying elephant"!
