| | Dumbo - Special Edition (Disney) | |
Description
Deceptively simple beautiful moving and hilarious DUMBO is often overlooked when considering Disneys greatest films because perhaps of its lack of extravagance its brief running time and its simple story. Baby elephant Jumbo Jr. is delivered by the stork to his elephant mother with much fanfare but soon receives a cold shoulder from the snobby female pachyderms and the rest of the circus due to his oversize ears. When his mother goes on a rampage in order to protect him from some snickering rubes she winds up locked away. Dumbo is left without a friend in the world until the street-smart Timothy Mouse decides to become his manager and a telephone line full of delightful jive-talking crows convince him he can fly. Highlights include Dumbo accidentally getting drunk and experiencing the surreal musical sequence Pink Elephants on Parade and a soundtrack packed with such priceless songs as the Oscar-winning Baby Mine and the crows soulful number When I see an Elephant Fly. Theres nary an imperfect moment to be found in this raucous tender sublime film which has been delighting audiences for generations.
