When l was younger l used to love collecting each Disney Film as it was released on video, By the time l was 15 l had quite a collection. Now l'm a Mum and felt it was about time my daughter started her collection, of course now it's DVD's rather than video. What better film to start off her collection with than Dumbo. THE PLOT:- The film starts with all the circus animal mums receiving their new bundles of joy from the storks. Baby giraffes, tigers, bears and hippo's settle into their new homes with their new mums. The only mum not to receive her new baby is Mrs Jumbo the elephant. It's only after the circus packs up from it's winter quarters and makes it's way to it's new location that Mrs Jumbo finally meets her tiny baby elephant, and he turns out to be the talk of the circus. Sadley the talk isn't good, with a pair of oversized ears, baby Dumbo is laughed at and ridiculed. Whilst trying to protect her baby Mrs Jumbo is restrained, chained up and caged, labelled a mad elephant. With remarkable courage, and with the help of his loyal friend Timothy the Mouse (who takes it upon himself to make Dumbo feel that he is special), Dumbo overcomes all odds in a triumphnat celebration of love and determination and discovers that what was initially the one thing he was ridiculed for turns out to be his greatest gift ,,, Dumbo can fly. THE SONGS:- There are some fantastic songs in this movie which after a couple of viewings you can't help but sing a long with. These include "When l see an elephant fly", "Pink elephants on parade", "Baby mine" and many more. BONUS FOOTAGE:- This is only a single disc but it does come with some bonus footage including:- Celebrating Dumbo - original documentary, Sing-a-longs, The flying mouse classic cartoon, Storytime with Dumbo, Dumbo art gallery and 'Baby mine' music video. INTERESTING FACTS:- When doing a bit of research on the film l came across a couple of interesting facts. Firstly, did you know that the name of the circus (seen on a sign as the train leaves the winter headquarters) is WDP (Walt Disney Productions). Secondly a bit of a goof can be found at the point when Timothy the Mouse is standing in front of Dumbo's face whn he wakes up after finding out that they are up a tree. When Dumbo falls off the tree in the very next shot, Timothy them Hope you enjoyed the review ........ with Christmas just round the corner, Dumbo would make an excellent stocking filler.

A totally excellent film.A must see film for walt disney fans of all ages.Run time is 61 minutes.Very Highly recomended,first saw this film when i was a small child and wanted my own children to enjoy this classic masterpiece.
I bought the product because I got rid of all my disney films on Video and am now buying them on DVD, dumbo is a great film, its quite sad but uplifting as well.
Love this film. My little boy found it a little upseting the first time he watched it but it is now definatley one of his favorites... Would recommend watching for the first time with younger children so you can explain that poor Dumbo will be ok and it has a happy ending...
