Dumbo (2001, DVD)

Movie Description
Deceptively simple, beautiful, moving, and hilarious, DUMBO is often overlooked when considering Disney's greatest films because perhaps of its lack of extravagance, its brief running time, and its simple story. Baby elephant Jumbo Jr. is delivered by the stork to his elephant mom with much fanfare but soon receives a cold shoulder from the snobby female pachyderms and the rest of the circus due to his oversize ears. When his mother goes on a rampage in order to protect him from some snickering rubes, she winds up locked away. Dumbo is left without a friend in the world until the street-smart Timothy Mouse decides to become his manager and a telephone line full of delightful jive-talking crows convince him he can fly. Highlights include Dumbo accidentally getting drunk and experiencing the surreal musical sequence "Pink Elephants on Parade" and a soundtrack packed with such priceless songs as the Oscar-winning "Baby Mine" and the crow's soulful number, "When I see an Elephant Fly." There's nary an imperfect moment to be found in this raucous, tender, sublime film, which has been delighting audiences for generations.

    A classic for all. This is a great movie for young and old. I grew up to this one. One of the best. I would love for all children to watch Disney movies they are the best.

    Its and old favorite and I chose it for my grand daughter so she and I can watch it together. Since its a DVD in very good shape it is cheaper than ordering a new one and the DVD was in excellent shape.

      Not one of Disney's best
    Review created: 06/30/08

    This may be appealing to others, but simply wasn't a favorite of mine or my children. They couldn't get past teh 1st 20 mins before they were bored. I reccomend renting and viewing before actualy purchasing.
