Pros: Uplifting message, fun songs Cons: Racial stereotype
Dumbo truly is an amazing film. I always forget just how long it is. Or should I say short. At only 64 minutes, it is the shortest animated movie Disney has released. Yet it is so full of emotion and laughter it feels like a much longer ...
Pros: that darling face and wonderful ears Cons: none
This classic Disney movie has always been one of my favorites because even though it is fully animated it is directed at adults. After all, what child [God forbid] would ever understand the Pink Elephant theory in this movie? Beautifully animated,...
Pros: great story and animal characterizations Cons: some may find the pink elephant sequence a bit disturbing
It's a big event when an elephant is born, and Mrs. Jumbo, the proud pachyderm parent on Casey Jr.'s circus train, is tickled to death with her youngster. The tiny elephant is as cute as can be, but there is one feature about him that makes the other...
Pros: Great animation. Sharply rendered characters. Kicky score. Cons: Some interpret the crows as a racist stereotype.
Madame Rose, my publicist, and Joseph, my manager, arrived by chartered water taxi in Roadtown, Tortola, in order to perform an 'intervention' with me following my recent negative experiences with Special K. I had been duped into recurrent drug use by...
It opens with the storks flying in the rain carrying different baby animals. They happen to land in Florida and begin dropping off baby animals like tigers, kangaroos, and bears there at a circus. Mrs. Jumbo the elephant, desperately wants a baby, but ...
Pros: Wonderful animation, great story for the kids Cons: Age hasn't been kind to the film quality
Confession: I'm 32 years old and I haven't seen Dumbo. With that out of the way, I figured it would be a good time to watch it with my kids ages 2 and 5. Needless to say, Dumbo is a classic and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Story The ...
Pros: The story, the color, the songs, the moral Cons: A few scenes necessitate parent-child conversation, to avoid misunderstanding.
Story: Mrs. Jumbo is a circus elephant who wants a baby. As the circus packs up and heads for the next town, a flock of storks arrives to deliver animal babies (see note below), but Mrs. Jumbo gets no bundle of joy. Wait! One stork arrives late, and ...
Dumbo is the fourth animated feature in the Disney animated features canon. It is based upon a children's book of the same name by Helen Aberson and illustrated by Harold Perl. Dumbo was produced by Walt Disney and first released on October 23, 1941 ...
Pros: Elephant-size charm Cons: Not all that ambitious
With Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Pinocchio, Walt Disney had established two story prototypes between which he would all but alternate for subsequent animated features. In 1937's Snow White, the titular heroine trusts that...
Dumbo is Disney's strongest animated film dramatically. The themes of abandonment, loss of a parent, and loneliness ring true for every child. We know this feeling from the first time we cry and our parents do not immediately appear. These themes are...
Pros: Sweet, lovely classic film Cons: Sad, may upset very small children
I always feel silly when I watch a Disney cartoon, because they almost always make me cry. Even as I'm sitting there blubbering, I'm telling myself," It's a CARTOON, you ninny!" I mean, Bambi and Dumbo and Lady aren't even three-dimensional,...
Pros: Emotional. Great morals. Cons: None that I can think of
Ages before animated movies became overstuffed, overblown, overrated, and overbudgeted affairs, a trend which The Emperor's New Groove thankfully reversed, at least momentarily, movies like this one were being made all the time. They were quiet and...
Pros: Good animation, good music, good characters, short length Cons: Older movie so the animation isn't quite as realistic as the newer videos
I had never watched Dumbo until my son was about 2 years old. Now I get to watch Dumbo at least 2 to 3 times a week because my son just loves the movie. What I like best about this movie is that it is relatively short (right around an hour in length),...
Pros: Not a single less-than-brilliant moment Cons: No cons. None.
Dumbo is one of the best examples of why Disney has been the greatest provider of animated entertainment in this century. It tells a fantasy story with a human issue everyone can identify with, has memorable and well-thought-out characters, and deftly...
Pros: Pink Pachyderms/Zoot-suit Crows/Train That Could Cons: None
I remember when DUMBO made its network premiere on NBC in the late 70s. It went up against the pilot of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA on ABC. I watched that in one room and my sister watched DUMBO in another after a little battle over who'd get the big TV. In...
