A Disney "classic" that actually is a classic, Dumbo should be part of your video collection whether or not you have children. The storytelling was never as lean as in Dumbo, the songs rarely as haunting (or just plain weird), the characters rarely so well defined. The film pits the "cold, cruel, heartless" world that can't accept abnormality against a plucky, and mute, hero. Jumbo Jr. (Dumbo is a mean-spirited nickname) is ostracized from the circus pack shortly after his delivery by the stork because of his big ears. His mother sticks up for him and is shackled. He's jeered by children (an insightful scene has one boy poking fun at Dumbo's ears, even though the youngster's ears are also ungainly), used by the circus folk, and demoted to appearing with the clowns. Only the decent Timothy Q. Mouse looks out for the little guy. Concerns about the un-PC "Jim Crow" crows, who mock Dumbo with the wonderful "When I See an Elephant Fly," should be moderated by remembering that the crows are the only social group in the film who act kindly to the little outcast. If you don't mist up during the "Baby Mine" scene, you may be legally pronounced dead. --Keith Simanton

Dumbo is a movie I remember as a child watching and watching, again and again. I believe I truly drove my family mad with the constant replaying. It has however been many years since I watched it. However I am reliving my childhood as I slowly expand my Disney DVD's for my child. Dumbo is a film that gives a good message of it is ok to be different and you should not allow bad things to hold you back. It is packed with a delightful range of characters from cheeky birds to loving and mean elephants. I would probably not recommend for very young children as the pink elephant sequence could scare them but if your child has loved other Disney movies I would say get it and they should love it too. Before you know it they will be singing along with all the songs. So sit back and enjoy!!

A Disney Classic For All To Love April 8, 2008

One of the Great Disney Classics. Enjoyable for the whole family, all generations will love the tale of a baby elephant that has ears a few sizes to big, and that when you accept yourself others will too. Growing up in a Circus town I love watching the behind the scenes of the circus and how things come together. Now being a mother and how protective you are of your children makes you completely understand how Dumbo's mother feels about her son.
