MY THOUGHTS:
When I was little I loved the movie “Dumbo,” and thinking about it now I probably haven’t seen the movie since. Now though that I have kids I love that I can re-live the Disney Classics with them, as well as the new movies that come out! First I will admit I had no clue “Dumbo” was 70 years old! I cannot believe it came out in 1941!
Now since I haven’t seen “Dumbo” for quite some years, I was super impressed with the quality remake on the Blu-ray edition. The colors are so vibrant and you would not think it is a 70-year old cartoon!
If you have never seen Dumbo before, it is a movie about an elephant who is “different.” Jumbo Jr. (Dumbo is a mean name he is called) has big ears and is teased terribly amongst the circus animals, even kids. His mother defends him and is punished for that by being chained up. A small mouse ends up being Jumbo Jr.’s only friend. I think “Dumbo” is a great movie for kids to see how awful it makes people (or animals in this case) feel when they are teased and how it is okay to be different.
With great animation, characters, and songs, “Dumbo” is a classic not to miss. With my boys being 3 and 4, having the 70th Anniversary Edition came at a great time! We have watched this Blu-ray a few times already, I still can’t believe the movie is only about an hour long. The Blu-ray + DVD combo is great because we now keep the Blu-ray inside and the DVD in the car! Seeing a circus via Blu-ray quality is pretty awesome! When you think too that this movie is 70 years old, I think that is pretty amazing!
BUY IT: You can buy “Dumbo” wherever DVDs are sold or check it out online.

I remember liking Dumbo when I was little and I wondered if my kids (ages 7 and under) would like it too. Your review makes me want to see it again with them. Thanks!
