Another orphan success story for Disney! Dumbo, the baby elephant born with genetically superior ears, becomes the disdain of all the elephants, then the entire circus. After attempting to protect her son, Dumbo's mother is thrown in the slammer (the circus jail). Dumbo learns he can fly quite by accident after drinking some water laced with booze (what is the message in this anyways?) I have issues with the Pink Elephant sequence...which really serves no pupose other than sending the message that when you get a buzz, you are able to do anything (flying). Also, Racial stereotypes toward the end of the movie are particularly evident. Considering the time period Dumbo the movie was born out of, such manifestations of racial stereotype were probably tolerated and accepted. Too bad that legacy lives on in these remastered versions. The saving grace of this movie is Dumbo, who becomes a flying star thereby freeing his mother from the clink.Read full review
This movie was my childhood favorite. At 37, of all the Walt Disney movies I've seen, Dumbo is still my all time favorite. It has a very special meaning that teaches people about being different and unconditional love. I highly recommend this movie.

Walt Disney (the boss) was trying for prestige in making artistic Bambi and running into all kinds of snags. To get some quick cash, he got some of his guys to do a plain old cartoon - Dumbo. This worked. The guys had some fun and Dumbo made money. The disk is flawless.

I purchased this movie for my two year old Grand daughter's birthday, I was VERY happy with 90% of this classic. How ever I do not condone alcohol consumption, (PINK ELEPHANTS on parade), for childrens viewing. It is such a long part of this movie. The G rating was not apporiate. I caution everyone to preview this movie. You can judge for your self. I can not think of another G rated movie that has such a long drinking and drunk segment. I would advise having the FFWD button at the ready.
