Dumbo (Two-Disc 70th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray / DVD Combo Pack in Blu-ray Packaging) Reviews

Dumbo was Walt Disney’s fourth animated feature film, and in many ways it constituted a landmark for the company. With it, Disney and his animators proved that an animated feature film could pack all of the possible entertainment value consistent with his previous films (humor, drama, terrific music, eye-popping visuals), feature a title character who never utters a word and yet is as expressive and endearing as any Shakespearean character, and all of this could be fit into a concise package that barely runs an hour and could be made for less than a million dollars (something that couldn’t be said for any of his previous three animated features). Dumbo was and is one of the zeniths of feature animation, and its boldly imaginative conception and execution leaves many animated films then and now in the proverbial dust.
