Movie Reviews of Dumbo (Big Top Edition)
Movie Review: Timeless classic, animation that set the pace for everyone else.
Summary: 5 Stars
Disney has always been a leader in animated films, snow white through modern day Disney/Pixar. But Dumbo is a throw back to the old days, and a very good example of the art of cartoons at its best. Jumbo Jr. The little elefant with big ears and outcast of the paciderms becomes the hero of the circus. Does it get any better than that. Overcoming triumph. This film never gets old. And, it shows the values of the past, stokes delivering babies, and the ideal mother protecting their children. Also, Pink elephants as a representation of Drinking. Back then, nobody really talked about drinking, so they use terms such as "seeing pink elephants" to say that they were drunk. That part use to actually scare me as a kid. Anyhow, a must have DVD for the collection, I actually own the laserdisc copy, but did look at this DVD version, and it does have some good features on it. Fun for the whole family.Movie Review: Jumbo Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
Although I was quite small when first I saw Dumbo, I well remember the impressions it left me: crows singing (and a nice job of it, too) about butterflies, house flies and elephant flies; clowns acting in goofy and potentially dangerous ways; mean matronly elephants shunning a baby; knots coming inexplicably apart when babies landed by their intended parents; "pink elephants on parade" (raised in a mercifully moderate-drinking household, I just went along with the notion too much drink did odd things to us).
Seeing this version carefully applied to DVD is a delight all over again. Sometimes analog to digital suffers in transition: not so in this case. All the artistry, free-wheeling fun and pathos is sharpened and brightened in this DVD, which offers plenty of sidelights for the curious or enthralled. Well worth owning and re-visiting.
Movie Review: The big top for Disney
Summary: 5 Stars
Next to Toby Tyler, this is Disney's most beloved circus movie. And why shouldn't it be? It's also one his most tearful animated tearjerkers. "Baby Mine" is without a doubt a nerve strainer. It sounds like a lullabye, while giving joy to the small loved one in your grasp. That particular song sets the mood for the rest of the movie, and who Dumbo, the elephant . . . is. A somewhat orphan who lost his mother to not death, but punishment, banishment, and also captivity.
This is Dumbo's time to shine, and find the talents he knows not that he has. With the help of his little mouse friend who becomes his circus coach and manager, they pull Dumbo out of obscurity and into the big top limelight. Dumbo finds the wonderous elephant he can be, and always was. Thereby, giving his family profile a much better name!
Movie Review: For Children and the Child in Adults
Summary: 5 Stars
My review won't be helpful to anyone reading it, as I can only talk about it from pure feeling. I hide the fact that I own a copy of this film because I'm an older adult male. Shame on me for that, but that's how it is. I'm very glad to see so many reviews of high praise for "Dumbo". I always loved this film, but I always assumed it was taken for granted by most people and, like it's title character, considered the runt of the illustrious library of Disney classic feature cartoons. Many of these customer reviews prove me wrong. "Dumbo" is elegant in its simplicity, honesty, humor, and positive message of hope. As for the "Baby Mine" number....it's the reason I'll only watch "Dumbo" alone. No matter what your age, give "Dumbo" a chance. It may just become something very personal for you as it did for me.Movie Review: Loved it before and loved it now!
Summary: 5 Stars
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!!
