« Fantastic! »

My daughter loves this movie! She is 2 years old and fascinated with elephants. .:. Rating: 4 / 5

 

« Disney's Dumbo »

My grandkids love to watch this movie (and I love to watch it with them).
It has great animation, and funny as well as tender scenes. When the mother elephant sings "Baby Mine, Don't You Cry" I always water up. A great song from a great movie. .:. Rating: 5 / 5

 

« Brings Me to Tears Every Time »

Jumbo? Don't you mean Dumbo!

And so the tearfest begins.

I loved this movie as a child and recently rediscovered it while visiting with my two year-old niece. As is typical for kids that age, we watched the movie everyday (sometimes twice) for a week.

Every time I cried.

I can't really think of another Disney movie that depicts such a wonderfully loving and sweet relationship between parent and child (no Bambi didn't do it for me).

Plus Dumbo is the self-doubting underdog throughout, which simply makes me love him even more.

Oh, and my niece, she squealed with delight for Dumbo's triumphs each time and paid serious attention to the sad parts where mother and child are separated. Never underestimate a two year-old.

The only reason I stop short of giving it a 5-star is the dated depictions of excessive alcohol use, smoking and the stereotyping of the crows...yeah I know you can't stereotype crows as such, but we can easily figure out to whom those stereotypes apply. Can't go back in time and undo the social circumstances that made this acceptable childrens entertainment.

Overall, though the touching story of an outcast only a mother could love and his triumph over his tormentors is timeless. .:. Rating: 4 / 5
