December 16, 2011One of my all time favorite Disney flicks. Great animation, memorable story, and wonderful music. The crow gang are really cool characters and are entertaining to watch as they help Dumbo learn how to fly. What can I say? It's a Disney classic.

It's one of Disney's most charming and perfectly proportioned films, uninflated by the cultural pretensions Uncle Walt was fond of slipping in. Full Review

There's a pleasant little story, plenty of pathos mixed with the large doses of humor, a number of appealing new animal characters, lots of good music, and the usual Disney skillfulness in technique. Full Review

James Plath, Movie Metropolis
Dumbo was for Disney what The Old Man and the Sea was for Hemingway: a simple but powerful story that's brilliantly rendered and succeeds precisely because it is so simple, archetypal, and true. Full Review
