DVD Reviews of Dumbo (Big Top Edition)
DVD Review: Dumbo is such a good movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved Dumbo since when I was a little kid, and I still like it. Dumbo is pretty much one of my life long favorite disney movies. My favorite song from this movie is pretty much "When I See an Elephant Fly".
Dumbo is Walt Disney's 4th Masterpiece.
DVD Review: Happy children are the best!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This classic movie is one of my daugher's favorites. She has watched it so much that we have had to replace the
disc once so far, and she is only 2 1/2!!!! I can't really stand this movie personally because she has watched it so many times, but since we have a portable DVD player, she can watch it anytime she likes. I realize many parents may think that I am neglecting her by allowing her to watch this movie, or any other, so often they need to replace the disc, but since her father is deployed to Iraq for this holiday season, I feel anything that can keep her in good spirits and happy is fine..:D:D
DVD Review: childhood favorite
Summary: 5 Stars
Dumbo is the story of a baby elephant born with enormous ears. When the other circus elephants reject him, and his mother is locked away as a "mad elephant" for trying to protect her baby, Dumbo's only friend turns out to be Timothy, the circus mouse. Together, they learn that huge ears can be an asset.
This movie has much to recommend it. It's only an hour long, which means it won't bore kids beyond their attention span. Its message of treating those with differences or handicaps fairly and kindly is important for everyone to hear.
Best of all, it has some wonderful musical numbers. "Baby Mine" still brings tears to my eyes all these years later, and "When I See an Elephant Fly" is hysterically funny to those old enough to understand the word play. But "Pink Elephants" has got to be one of the most inventive and clever numbers ever devised. The constantly morphing elephants of this sequence were all hand-drawn -- no computers used at all!
Caution: This movie was made in the 1950's, and there is some ethnic stereotyping that can be offensive. For instance, the ringmaster, who has a thick Italian accent, is somewhat of a buffoon. Also, the musical number "When I See an Elephant Fly" is sung by crows that are clearly meant to be African Americans. They use some poor grammar and in other ways conform to common stereotypes of the times. However, I believe that little children won't understand the stereotype, or it can be dealt with by explaining that the crows don't go to school, so they don't talk correctly. Adults will know better and will be able to enjoy the clever word play in the song.
Another caution is that the stork delivers the circus animal babies. That might take some explaining!

Description of Dumbo (Big Top Edition)
With high-flying entertainment and messages about friendship, acceptance, courage, and believing in yourself, Walt Disney's DUMBO is "a timeless classic for children of all ages. Walt Disney at his finest" (Us Weekly). Meet Dumbo, Mrs. Jumbo's sweet little "Baby Mine" who charms all who see him . . . until it's discovered that he has huge floppy ears! With the support of his very best friend, Timothy the mouse, Dumbo soon learns that his spectacular ears make him unique and special, allowing him to soar to fame as the world's only flying elephant. You'll love all the daring adventure, colorful characters, award-winning music, and a circus tent full of fun bonus features! Go behind the scenes with DisneyPedia's "My First Circus," an all-new activity where you can learn about your favorite circus animals. This Big Top Edition also features Sing-Along Songs, a DVD Storybook, a new digital transfer, and much more.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
