Dumbo (70th Anniversary Edition) (Spanish Edition)

"Dumbo" is, quite simply, one of the greatest films of all time; animated or live-action. The movie is a masterpiece of animated, economical and, above all, emotional storytelling. On the surface, the story may seem simple, but the movie has more emotional impact than any other Disney film. Was there any other Disney character who suffered more abuse and mistreatment than Dumbo? Well, maybe Cinderella. And, like Cinderella, Dumbo rises (Dumbo literally flies) above his miserable circumstances and achieves a heartwarming triumph. Anyone who has felt like a misfit or an outcast from society will relate to the plight of poor elephant Dumbo; who is labeled a literal "circus freak" just because of his oversized ears. When his mother. Mrs. Jumbo, protects him from a bratty circus patron, she is jailed. Dumbo's only friend is Timothy, an enterprising little mouse who plans to make Dumbo a circus star. When the first plan goes disasterously awry, causing the Big Top to topple, Dumbo is furthur humilated by being turned into a clown. After Dumbo and Timothy accidentally drink from a water bucket filled with whiskey , they find themselves up in the treetops the next morning. A group of wisecracking crows suggest that Dumbo got up into the trees by flying up. Lacking confidence, Dumbo is told that a "magic feather" held in his trunk will make him fly. Back at the circus, the feather is dropped and Timothy reveals it was just a psychological device. Timothy tells him he could fly all the time, if he will just open up his ears and BELIEVE in himself. Thus, Dumbo becomes a star at last when his big ears, once considered to be his greatest liability, become his greatest asset. Dumbo's triumph is especially sweet, because the audience has suffered along with Dumbo. Our tears are honestly shed, and our smiles at his victory are joyous. "Dumbo" is Disney's most unpretentious classic; The animation style of "Dumbo" recalls the happy, vibrant spirit and colors of Disney's earlier "Silly Symphonies" short cartoons; before the "feature-length" sensation of "Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs." "Dumbo" is a perfectly emotionally balanced film; alternately heartbreaking and heartwarming. The music is another great aspect of the film. "Casey Jr." establishes the perfect circus mood. Three other moments, each very different in tone and mood, are memorable moments in music and animation. If you don't cry during the gentle lullabye "Baby Mine", your heart must be made of stone. "Pink Elephants On Parade" is a wild, surreal sequence. Finally, the crows big number "When I See An Elephant Fly" provides a pivitol turning point in the film. The 70th Anniversary Edition improves over previous DVD releases of the film, with better animated menus and more vibrant colors. A short segment on the popular "Dumbo Ride" at Disneyland and Disneyworld is included. Best of all is a 28 Minute "Making Of Dumbo" documentary, detailing how Walt Disney found "Dumbo" at a time of great financial crisis. Disney's first animated feature "Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs" (1937) was instantly acclaimed as one of the most groundbreaking films in cinema history and quickly broke box-office records. Disney spent all the money made from "Snow White" on "Pinocchio" and "Fantasia", neither of which returned a profit. To survive, Disney needed a shorter, smarter story and "Dumbo" was absolutely perfect. Lacking the "high art" pretentiousness of "Fantasia," "Dumbo" is, converesly emotional art, and the public took "Dumbo", released just before Pearl Harbor and America's involvement in World War II, to heart immediately. "Dumbo" was in production while an animators' strike was looming at Disney Studios. The animators must have felt a special emotional connection to "Dumbo"; because they completed it just before going on strike. "Dumbo" is always in my heart. I think every person should have "Dumbo" in their DVD collection, but you won't be able to watch it without a big box of Kleenex.

I had loved Dumbo as a child and had not seen it for many years, so I got the special edition DVD. The special features on this edition are marvelous, with so many people expressing their sentiments about the movie and what it was meant to be and how much Walt loved it and what an important movie it was for the studio. There's also some deleted scenes including Timothy the mouse singing. The commentary is by 3 people who currently work for the Disney studios and they had a lot of things to say. Apparently Dumbo is a very special movie to many people. The movie is an extraordinarily simple story about the imbecilic reasons snobby people invent to hate someone or disregard someone or look down on someone--a guy has big ears that nobody else around him has and that makes them think he's worthless. His ears are not hurting anybody, they just look unusual. The reason they hate him is nothing but the fact that he's DIFFERENT from them in that one little way, in one aspect of his physical appearance. He has a physical trait that noone else around him has and that makes them act like he's a disgrace to them. I am really appalled at the little reasons that people use to hate others. And Dumbo's mother is punished for defending her son, for punishing a mean bully who was hurting her son, and she's classed as dangerous and chained as if she's evil. I too have been punished for violence when I was defending innocent ones against bully's meanness. Noone in the movie cared that she had a reason for what she did.Dumbo is about judgement and intolerance and oppression and unfair discrimination. From what I've seen, most of the time in real life victims of unfair societal views do not end up triumphing over the oppression the way Dumbo does in the movie. But I guess the movie is a message of hope that maybe we can hope to change some of the unfair things about the way society works, so that innocent people like Dumbo and his mother can have freedom. I don't know if the movie Dumbo can make the world a better place--there are a lot of hypocrites who love the movie Dumbo, they love the movie and spend money on it to buy it but they themselves are treating people and animals in rude unfair ways, so they love the movie but they themselves are cruel and bitter and judgemental and so they obviously have no regard for the messages of love and understanding in the movie--but I agree with the people on the DVD that it is one of the most beautiful movies ever made. I wish the movie Dumbo could have an effect on the way people are treated in society. There are so many people living in imposed situations that are not fair, but I guess when life is not fair they have to just go on living while the unfair situation is going on, and that's another message in the movie--Timothy tells Dumbo to go on living even before they learn that there's a way Dumbo can have victory over the situation. Before they ever knew that Dumbo could fly, they were already going to just continue living. I wish this movie could help spread goodness in the world. I love this movie.

Review of 1disc 'Special edition'(2007). While 'Dumbo' in my opinion is possibly not at the very peak of 'Classic Disney films'( eg Bambi or The jungle book), it's certainly not far off .This much loved film is a simpler story for all ages to enjoy .And being just over an hour in length (but with plenty of story & songs) means it should be fine for even the most restless of children. The 'special edition' has a good selection of 'extra features' -An art gallery with well over a hundred images ,a short appreciation of the film ,& an interesting audio commentary.And for younger viewers there's a couple of short cartoons,an informative game, an interactive storybook and a couple of songs to keep them (& yourself )entertained.The film packs plenty(visually& emotionally), the image quality is very good + has subtitles available & the 'Special edition' is available at a bargain prices -so don't miss out! .Definitely one for your DVD library & always worth a repeat viewing.

It is a small, intimate, emotionally powerful mother-son tale with terrific songs and characters and outstanding animation, in other words, perfect family entertainment.Released in New York in October, 1941 in Los Angeles, it premiered days after Japan attacked America. The brightly coloured circus picture is irrepressibly happy, even as it depicts an abnormal child's tale of woe. Opening with storks delivering new-borns in sacks to their circus animal mothers, expectant elephant Mrs. Jumbo looks up in anticipation of her special delivery. When the little fella finally arrives, the other elephants confer the cruel nickname.Along comes Timothy, a sprightly, city mouse who'd rather pal around with Dumbo than with a bunch of catty old show hacks. With a good sense of justice and showmanship, Timothy sets about convincing Dumbo that his handicap doesn't have to ruin his life and that what can't be changed can be cast to Dumbo's own personal interest. Watching his plans unfold is a pleasure.Dumbo, whose mother is branded mad when she comes to his defence, is assigned to perform with the clowns and a nasty, cynical lot they are to and, like most early Disney pictures, ‘Dumbo’ is embedded with clearly drawn, multi-layered characters. The clowns are oppressive, not funny; a bully with big ears acts out against sweet Dumbo; black crows are hip but they are also kind.It's a wonderful stunning timeless, seamless delightful story about being totally different. Highlights include Casey Junior's musical choo-choo train chugging the circus out of winter hibernation in Florida, Dumbo visiting his mother in solitary confinement, as Mrs. Jumbo sings "Baby Mine" and, of course, the hallucinatory "Pink Elephants on Parade," which remains one of the best animated sequences in history.‘Dumbo’ works primarily as a bonding fable, though he conquers his fears and eventually stops letting pain dominate his childhood and he does so by choice. Only then does Dumbo, deeply loved by his mother, encouraged by his friend, glide to his highest potential and he hits back at his tormentors before it's over. Cleverly mocking Hollywood especially with Timothy the capitalist rightly cashing in. Dumbo showers his mother with kisses in an ending that brilliantly integrates the story's theme that one's happiness is made not predetermined.Although it was directed by Ben Sharpsteen, every frame of this Walt Disney tale about the outcast elephant with huge ears was personally approved by Uncle Walt himself. On the animation side, the highlight is the parade of pink elephants after Dumbo and Timothy Mouse get tipsy. Made for a fraction of the cost of previous Disney animations, this may be one of the studio's shortest features, but it's also among the best. So don't miss this beautiful magical festive family Walt Disney Animation film treasure.Blu-ray Video Quality – The film’s original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.33:1 is preserved, as is the RKO title card for those who are interested, in this stunning 1080p encoded image transfer. Comparing this to the first DVD release is like a night and day difference. Contrast is much more solid, and it doesn’t cause a hazy coloured mist to fall over the image as before, colours are truer and more richly delivered without ever going too bright, and sharpness is much better overall. Though there is no obvious banding in those blue skies, there seemed to be just a trace of it late in the film, and some anomalies in the water colouring can occasionally be glimpsed showing how truly sharp and clear the image is.Blu-ray Audio Quality – The Blu-ray disc offers an awesome 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio sound mix and from original elements along with a Restored 2.0 Original Audio Soundtrack Mono mix for those who wish a historical audio track experience, plus 5.1 Disney Enhanced High Definition Theatre Mix Sound. The 7.1 mix has not been tricked out with extraneous obviousness. Music occasionally finds its way into the fronts and rears, and the several thunderstorms that happen during the movie provide the most obvious use of the rear channels for the rain and thunder effects. Overall, the audio track has a monaural presence despite the reworked sound, and it fits the unpretentious film just fine that way. No age-related artefacts like hiss or crackle are anywhere to be heard.Blu-ray Special Features and Extras:Blu-ray Feature Film + BonusDVD Feature Film + BonusAll-New Digital RestorationSpecial Feature: DisneyView Presentation [Expanded Viewing Experience]: DisneyView allows users to expand their viewing experience beyond the 1.33:1 original aspect ratio of the film by filling the otherwise dark edges of the screen with beautiful custom paintings by James Coleman, so you get the full 1.77:1 aspect ratio presentation.Special Feature: About DisneyView Presentation with James Coleman [2011] [1080p] [1.77:1] [00:53] The special brand of Disney magic has inspired the lives of many who have fallen under its spell. For artist James Coleman, it began when he started working in the Studio’s mailroom in the summer of 1969. His big break came when he entered one of his paintings in a studio art show. Several of the Disney Artists saw his potential and encouraged him to go into animation background painting. As the Background Department Supervisor, James Coleman was a strong creative influence in developing the look of over thirty shorts and twelve animated feature films. But with this delightful presentation, you actually see James Coleman in a small rectangle video screen at the top right of your TV screen, where he gives a very insightful talk about his time at the Walt Disney Studio. He also tells us that he worked on ‘DUMBO’ and it is one of his most favourite Disney Animation film. This is a must view extra.Special Feature: Cine-Explore Experience [2011] [1080p] [1.77:1] Here you get to view the whole of ‘DUMBO’ again, what you get to view while the animation film is in progress, is lots of rectangle images dotted about the screen, where you get lots of extra information about the animation film ‘DUMBO’ and the workings of the Walt Disney Studio in producing all of their animation work. But what is most interesting and fascinating aspect of this presentation is what you get to see with the main rectangle panel at the top right of your TV screen, is that you get to see and hear in a special viewing room Pete Docter [Director], Paula Sigman [ Disney Historian] and Andreas Deja [Animator]. We also get to see lots of rare image drawings relating to ‘DUMBO’ as well as Ward Kimball talk about his work on the animation film and also informs us that they were also working on ‘BAMBI’ at the same time. Another interesting aspect of this presentation, is that we get to see and hear Woolie Reithermann and his hard work and dedication on ‘DUMBO,’ plus we also get to see and hear other rare fascinating characters who helped to make ‘DUMBO’ the success it became. But we finally get to hear how ‘DUMBO’ came about and it was through Helen Aberson and Harold Pearl’s delightful little book entitled “DUMBO: The Flying Elephant” that Walt Disney really loved and brought the rights to the novel. But this is definitely a MUST view, as it is a fascinating introduction into the beautiful magical experience of the classic animation film ‘DUMBO’ and how it all evolved. But one word of warning, if you can only view this particular extra via the DVD disc, you do not get to view all the extra rectangle images popping up on your TV screen, but all you get is the audio commentary in the background.Special Feature: Never-Before-Seen Deleted Scene: The Mouse’s Tale [1080p] [1.77:1] [5:35] Here we get an introduction by Don Haan, at the Disney Animation research Library, where Don Haan goes into great detail on why this sequence was never used in ‘DUMBO.’ But what you get to view, with the help of the original script, very detailed rare drawings and the original audio voice recording, which gives you a sort animation feature of this lost deleted sequence and especially how it would of looked if it had been included in ‘DUMBO.’ Dan Haan at the end of the sequence informs us he is very puzzled why there is no information why Walt Disney decided not to include it is ‘DUMBO.’Special Feature: Never-Before-Heard Deleted Song: “Are You A Man Or A Mouse” [480i] [1.33:1] [3:53] Here also you get to see part of the animation sequence, like if it was included in the animation film ‘DUMBO,’ where the baby elephant is at the top of the burning building in the circus tent. But the rest of the sequence is provided by rare beautiful drawings and the voice of Timothy the mouse, telling Dumbo not to give up hope and always smile in the face of adversity. But can see why Walt Disney felt it would hinder the flow of the animation film.Backstage Disney Features:Special Feature Documentary: Taking Flight: The Making of Dumbo [1080p] [1.77:1] [28:08] This is a totally fascinating documentary into the history of ‘DUMBO’ and how it became the classic animation it is today. We get to see and hear from people like Eric Goldberg [Walt Disney Supervising Animator]; Jim Capobianco [PIXAR Animation Studios]; Jonas Rivera [Producer for ‘UP’ PIXAR Animation Studios]; John Canemaker [Animation Historian]; Paul F. Anderson [Author and Disney Historian]; Didier Ghez [Disney Historian]; Carol Grubb [Daughter of Joe Grant]; Richard P. Huemer [Son of Dick Huemer] and Michael Sporn [Animation Director]. With all of these contributors for this fascinating documentary, you get to hear all about the talented artists and musical directors who poured so much energy and talent into producing ‘DUMBO’ and making it such a financial success. This is also a must view extra and not to be missed.Special Feature: The Magic Of DUMBO: A Ride Of Passage [A Heartfelt Look At Disneyland's Most Popular Ride] [1080p] [1.77:1] [3:08] This is definite Disney Promotion on how people love the Dumbo Ride and how its appearance has changed over the years in operation notes from the likes of Imagineering Senior VP Tony Baxter. To me it is a bit too over the top in your face promotion and seeing all the ghastly over the top spoilt children, who are equally over the top gushing about the ride. Not one of my most favourite parts included in the extras.Classic DVD Bonus Features:Special Feature: Sound Design Excerpt from “The Reluctant Dragon” [1941] [480i] [1.33:1] [5:56] A five-minute and 56 second clip that actually comes from a minor 1941 feature called ‘The Reluctant Dragon.’ The premise of the film showed writer Robert Benchley as he toured the Disney studios. With this very rare insight into how they go about making all the sound effects for a Walt Disney Animation Cartoon. It is a fascinating rare archive film, with such amazing use of different items to make the sound effects and also the orchestration. This is a very unusual picture quality, as the print is totally in sepia, and is a totally MUST view.Special Feature: Celebrating DUMBO [480i] [1.33:1] [1:04] Here we get a collection of contributors that includes Leonard Malting; Andreas Deja; Don Haan; Ron Clements; Roy E. Disney; Rudy Behlmer; Lisa Keene; John Canemaker; Mike Gabrial; John Musker and Christy Maltese. But the outcome from all these people is how they love the ‘DUMBO’ animation film and give intimate detail of why it is top of their list.Special Feature: Original Walt Disney TV Introduction [1950] [480i] [black-and-white] [1.33:1] [1:04] This is a Walt Disney’s Disneyland Special on the promotion of the animation film ‘DUMBO.’ Here we get to see and hear Walt Disney giving great praise about their all-time favourite animation film. But what is a total shame, is why they couldn’t have allowed us to see the whole of this TV Special, very strange.Theatrical Trailers: Original Theatrical Trailer [1941] [480i] [1.33:1] [2:10]. Theatrical Re-Release Trailer [1949] [480i] [1.33:1] [1:16]Special Feature: Art Galleries Feature: Here you have Eight Galleries to view, which you can see listed below, and to access each Gallery you have to follow the following specific instructions, which are as follows:1.

In this story, he is invited to Tillie Tiger's birthday party, bringing her a bouquet of flowers. Tillie loves Elmer, but the other animal kids make fun of his nose (trunk) and cruelly mock him when Tillie isn't around to defend him. Broken-hearted by their teasing, Elmer leaves the party and cries in front of the nearby pond. Elmer is reassured by a nearby elderly giraffe named Joe who admits to him that he used to suffer the same teasing about his neck. Just then, a fire breaks out at Tillie's tree-house with Tillie still in it. The rescue efforts by the other children as well as a monkey fire brigade prove futile. With the help of Joe Giraffe and some pelicans that resemble Jimmy Durante, Elmer successfully puts out the fire and rescues Tillie. Voices by Bernice Hansen and Directed by Wilfred Jackson.Special Feature: Walt Disney’s Silly Symphony Cartoon: The Flying Mouse [1934] [1080p] [1.33:1] [9:19] This Silly Symphony Cartoon short tells the story of a young mouse fashions wings from a pair of leaves, to the tune "I Would Like to Be a Bird." To the great amusement of his brothers. When his attempts to use them fail, he falls into the tub and shrinks his sister's dress and gets spanked by his mother. When a butterfly calls for help, he rescues it from a spider. When the butterfly proves to be a fairy, the mouse wishes for wings. But his bat-like appearance doesn't fit in with either the birds or the other mice, and he finds himself friendless; even the bats make fun of him, making a point that he is "Nothin' But A Nothin'" and the butterfly fairy reappears and removes the mouse's wings, telling him that it is best for him to be himself. Directed by David Hand and Music by Bert Lewis and Frank Churchill.Disney Family Play Feature:Special Feature: What Do You See?

Disney never did better than this 1941 production, lasting barely over an hour, which shows the travails of the poor rejected elephant in a remarkable adventure that saves its piece de resistance until the very end, when Dumbo does fly, and spectacularly! It's a reworking of The Ugly Duckling, really, but Dumbo does at least have one friend, and in the end becomes further removed from normality, although we don't see what happens after that! I think Disney was at his best with animal characters, and even no humans at all, making this, The Jungle Book and Bambi his best films, I think. The animals fully come to life and have great voices - the female elephants here are priceless - whereas his human characters are bland and stereotyped, with Ken and Barbie heroes and plenty of demonised older women characters, who are too frightening for children in any case. In Dumbo there is none of this, but it is full of humour and pathos and the final coup could only work in a drawn medium, so it is about the most perfect cartoon ending, as well as a superbly gravity-defying one. I wish they would release the one about the operatic whale - it also looks very good on youtube!

The incomparable “ Dumbo” is a wonderful family film and is enjoyable for young and old. A sensitive child needs to be warned that the scene where Dumbo’s mother is locked up is upsetting. One of my daughters was distraught and in floods of tears and was not allowed to watch “ Bambi” until she was much older!

This is another one of my favorite Disney films great to sing along too (oh did i say that)...I think that all the older Disney films like jungle book, sword in the stone etc, are the best, as they are really great family films to watch, and good for singing along to.. admit it, you do sing along to it... i dun seen everything when i see an elephant fly!...a true classic and a must for all Disney collections. Happy viewing and singling!
