I have always loved this movie. The story is simple, but moves quickly and from heart felt emotion to laughter easily. The moral is simple, but isn't preachy. Watching this movie again recently, I was surprised again at how much of the early story to told in song. I usually forget "Look out for Mr. Stork" and the song they sing as they build the circus in the rain when thinking about the classic songs. "Baby Mine" is one of my favorite Disney songs because of its heartfelt emotion and I love all the puns in "When I See an Elephant Fly."

This is a truly remarkable movie. Pop some corn, sit back, and enjoy this classic tale.

Dumbo is the story of a baby circus elephant with ears so big, he can fly! He and his mother are teased by the other elephants about it, and Mother elephant is even put in the circus jail for trying to protect her son. A mother's love has never been so poignantly portrayed as in the scene where Dumbo's imprisoned mother rocks him on her trunk through the bars of her window. She cannot see him, but sings him a lullaby while he cries himself to sleep. Wow! This is a great movie...very touching...you'll never make fun of someone with big ears after seeing this gem!

This film is really a classic. Brought a tear to my eye. This film is awesome. As a DVD enthusiast, I was honoured to include this in my collection which includes T2: Special Edition and Man In Black. It is an awesome film and should be included in everyone's collection.
