A true classic
Timothy Q. Mouse is a great role model, accepting Dumbo for who he is and helping him. Dumbo is adorable, and I admit to being more than a bit obsessed with Dumbo. Kids may be scared when Mrs. Jumbo gets locked up, but if parents watch the movie with their kids, it's fine. Watching it now and looking back, I realize that the crows represent racism, but at five, I didn't pick up on that (or however old I was when I saw it; my favorite stuffed animal is a Dumbo, and I've had him since I was 6 months old, so I may have been younger). I didn't pick up on Dumbo and Timothy getting drunk either (it was an accident how they did) and I just always thought they were acting silly. A classic, show it to your kids.

RACIST
im an african american girl and this movie may be cute but i dont like the racism. for example, how the crows acted. did you know the lead crow was named JIM CROW? and, the part where the black people were putting up the circus tent, look up the lyrics.

Now I Be Done Seeing About Everything!
Other than one scene where Dumbo drinks champagne that clowns spilled unknowingly, and the scene with Mrs. Jumbo tied up being sad there's nothing to really worry about. As for the crows being a stereotype, I agree it's wrong but children will think they're just animals with funny voices. It has a great message that being different is very fine. For what it's worth the drinking scene will probably make kids think that if they drink they'll have nightmares.

Good movie.
It's a great movie! :) BUT. Beware of the pink elephant scene! It may scare kids a little. It's even spooks ME a little still. O.O Other than that, great film.

Touching
Dumbo was created to get money back to Disney Studios after the box-office bombs Pinocchio and Fantasia.

The pure epitome of Disney magic
Wow. I initially thought "Up," Pixar's uplifting tale was the best animated film of all time. I've been on a Disney kick lately, rewatching all the animated classics, and so far this has been the absolute best. So many people can relate to being left out like "Dumbo" demonstrates. The beautiful colors (especially the pink elephant sequence) are so appealing your eyes are glued to the screen the whole 64 minutes. Watch "Dumbo" over and over again!!!!!

I love Dumbo!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :)
I have seen Dumbo millions of times. It is one of my favorite movies. The first time I saw it was when I was 2. There is only one part I found scary, and that was the pink elephants on parade. I thought it was creepy and weird. My favorite animal is an elephant. Great for elephant lovers of any age.

Racist? Really?
Do you know how old this movie is? It was just being realistic! It was made more than 20 YEARS before the Civil Rights Acts were passed, so this was the work black men had to do. It's sad but true, everything the song says when they're putting up the tent. Disney wasn't being racist. They were just not sugarcoating it. That's the way things were when this movie was made. Dumbo is a great Disney classic. And when you're little, you really don't understand anything they're saying. It did make me cry (it still does) and it's kinda scary, so I suggest for little kids to watch it with their parents.
