A Disney "classic" that actually is a classic, Dumbo should be part of your video collection whether or not you have children. The storytelling was never as lean as in Dumbo, the songs rarely as haunting (or just plain weird), the characters rarely so well defined. The film pits the "cold, cruel, heartless" world that can't accept abnormality against a plucky, and mute, hero. Jumbo Jr. (Dumbo is a mean-spirited nickname) is ostracized from the circus pack shortly after his delivery by the stork because of his big ears. His mother sticks up for him and is shackled. He's jeered by children (an insightful scene has one boy poking fun at Dumbo's ears, even though the youngster's ears are also ungainly), used by the circus folk, and demoted to appearing with the clowns. Only the decent Timothy Q. Mouse looks out for the little guy. Concerns about the un-PC "Jim Crow" crows, who mock Dumbo with the wonderful "When I See an Elephant Fly," should be moderated by remembering that the crows are the only social group in the film who act kindly to the little outcast. If you don't mist up during the "Baby Mine" scene, you may be legally pronounced dead. --Keith Simanton

Dumbo.......2007-06-21

Disney's fourth full length-feature (running just over one hour) remains a powerful, poignant family film, offering kids a clear and useful lesson on the virtues of tolerance. Dumbo's initial cruel treatment is still hard to watch, since we've all witnessed similar behavior. The empathy we feel for this misfit elephant only makes his ultimate triumph more satisfying. A defining classic in Disney's film legacy. Best for smaller fry.

Mixed feelings on this one.......2007-05-07

One of the interesting things about having children (among the many wonderful and interesting things) is getting the chance to re-experience childhood and to see movies I enjoyed as a child. I was somewhat disappointed with "Dumbo," though, because of the scene in which the baby elephant Dumbo (who is ostracized by other elephants for having oversized ears) gets drunk, making it seem as if underage drinking is a harmless, playful activity that produces fun and funky hallucinations of dancing pink elephants. Other than that scene, the movie had a good message about overcoming adversity and turning personal weaknesses into triumphant strengths.

Great movie..........2007-04-10

We bought this movie as a birthday gift for our 2 year old grandson and now it's his favorite movie...An old favorite renewed for us and for his parents!

Description

An exciting comedy adventure of enormous proportions, OPERATION DUMBO DROP was cheered by critics and audiences across America! A savvy veteran army captain (Danny Glover, LETHAL WEAPON I-IV, ANGELS IN THE OUTFIELD) is teamed with a by-the-book West Point officer (Ray Liotta -- NARC, HEARTBREAKERS) to lead the "weightiest" military maneuver ever. Their job: To secretly transport a full-grown elephant across 200 miles of rugged terrain -- fording rivers, scaling mountains, and crossing canyons -- to reach a remote jungle villlage! You'll discover laughter around every hilarious corner as these hardy Green Berets prove that with a little luck ... and tons of hard work ... no mission is impossible!

Customer Reviews:

My My When elephants can fly.......2007-01-10

This is a funny movie in the US Services with Danny Glover turning over his post to a new commander Ray Loita who is very green to the area of the jungle and the ways of the villagers. He learns real quickly all about elephants and many ways to travel with one. Lots of laughs through out the movie especially when you get to see an elephant fly.

Wonderful, funny story but...........2006-12-29

We purchased this DVD because we had the VHS tape and wanted the updated format. Sounds good, right? WRONG! The subtitles are not there! That is outrageous. What numbskull decided that? Who do I complain to? I hope there is a new widescreen edition in the works that has the bloody SUBTITLES, in English please!

Heartwarming Story During a Heartless War.......2006-03-31

Operation Dumbo Drop is a slightly funny, heart-warming tale of a group of American soldiers, fighting in the Vietnam War, trying to do the right thing.

The story revolves around two Special Forces Captains, Capt. Cahill (Danny Glover) and Capt. Doyle (Ray Liotta). Capt. Cahill is the older, more relaxed soldier who goes with the flow and isn't afraid to do things in an unconventional method. Capt. Cahill has assimilated into a local Vietnamese village while monitoring the Ho Chi Minh trail. Capt. Doyle is the younger, uptight, by the book soldier who is sent in to replace Capt. Cahill.

An unfortunate string of events tips off the Viet Cong to the fact the village is helping the Americans and kill the village's elephant in retaliation. The two Captains put together a small band of misfits to find a new elephant and deliver it to the village by the end of the week.

The movie is based on a true story. Violence in the movie is minimal. It is a refreshing change from the typical violent Vietnam themed movie. I think the movie is meant to be funny, but I would more describe it as "cute". Not much in this movie really made me want to laugh out loud. The acting in the movie wasn't bad. I thought Ray Liotta, Dennis Leary (Lt. Pool), and Dinh Thien Le (Linh) all did an excellent job with their parts. However, I wouldn't describe the acting by anyone as extraordinary.

The DVD lacks any extras on it. As mentioned by previous posters, there are no subtitles when the people are speaking Vietnamese.

This isn't one of those movies I'd recommend scrambling out to get. If you find a good deal on the movie or can find it at a video store to rent, by all means give it a try. However, I do not think the movie is worth $15.00. This movie is probably a good compromise between a chick flick to watch with a date and a violent action movie you watch with friends.

Spanish Invades Again!.......2006-01-23

I really like this movie, USUALLY. However, what makes it worth watching is the subtitles for the Vietnamese. When I ordered this DVD, I was expecting subtitles I could read. The only options for subtitles were "Spanish" or "None". I was extremely disappointed and angry that I can't even get subtitles in my own language in America!!! The storyline is nice because it is based on a true story but when you don't know what the VC are saying, you lose a lot in the emotion of the movie.

Where are the subtitles????.......2005-05-29

This is a great movie, my only beef with the DVD is the missing subtitles. Everytime one of the Vietcong speak, you have no idea whats going on because of the missing subtitles.

Best jump scene ever!.......2003-07-21

What do you get when you combine:
- a near-retirement, throw-away-the-book officer that has been stationed in the middle of nowhere with no supervision and only Vietnamese for friends for years
- a hardcore airborne officer that goes strictly by the book
- a nearing ETS soldier who's scared out of his shoes that he will be killed just before he catches the freedom bird
- an Iowa farm boy that left the farm to get away from those doggone animals ... animals that never did like him
- a fast-talking romeo-type acquisitions officer
- a cantankerous female elephant
- a Vietnamese boy whose only remaining friend is a cantankerous female elephant

and send the group on a cross country journey through enemy territory?

You get a Walt Disney classic that will have you feeling every possible emotion. I have seen this movie hundreds of times and still end up in tears when I watch it. It is hilarious. Oddly enough, it is based on an actual true event. Only the 101st Airborne would do something like this.

This has my favorite parachuting scene. When they drop Botat out of the plane, her static line has been severed by a bullet and does not pull her chute. Geez, the next couple of minutes will stick with you for the rest of your life!

The casting was absolutely perfect. Each person played his role to the max! This is the movie that really brought Ray Liotta to our attention. Playing opposite Danny Glover was the ideal combination. They really rock in this movie.

Get this one for the entire family to enjoy! Also order the soundtrack. Once you see the movcie, you will picture Botat in the back of that old truck every time you hear "Hang On Sloopy" and you will see the flying adventure when you hear "Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher." Order both today.

A Masterpiece for the Whole Family.......2001-08-22

This movie provides an excellent example of how military occupation can not only democratize, but also civilize primitive societies. Even those satan - worshipping, slanty eyed cretans, and their treasured pachyderm. Our president should watch this movie every time he makes foreign policy decisions.

Very Funny and Entertaining!.......2000-05-29

I thought this movie was a wonderful production, and it is mostly because of the cast. Glover was wonderful as the caring soldier who comes to love the village that he is responsible for. Liotta is also great as the hard-nosed, by-the-book soldier who comes to replace Glover's character in the village. When the town's elephant is killed by the Vietcong, it is up to them to produce another one. With the supporting cast of Doug E. Doug, Dennis Leary, and Corin Nemic, it a fun and entertaining movie. My favorite parts are with the elephant tranquilizer and the whole boat scene. I know anyone who sees this will love it, and I recommend it highly to anyone who wants to see a truly good movie.

Accurate and funny Vietnam War movie, from Disney........1999-12-10

The movie is extremely accurate in its depiction of a US Army Special Forces by-the-book Captain, Ray Liotta, coming to a strategic hamlet in Vietnam to relieve his predecessor, Danny Glover. The movie is entertaining but at the same time accurate in many of the details about this time and war that the rest of Hollywood as chosen to ignore. To Hollywood there is no humor in the Vietnam War, except to deride and satirize the sacrifice of those that served there. Danny Glover is excellent as the SF officer who has served his time, but doesn't want to leave his second family. Ray Liotta gives an excellent performance as the new guy on the block who has his own view of how things should work. Even the performance of Dennis Leary is surprisingly controlled, compared to his other performances. The story concerns how these two American officers conspire to get a replacement elephant for the village, which views it as a good luck charm, after their own elephant is killed. The Americans try every trick in the book, and some not in the book, to get an elephant to this village. The story is a true one, although the elephant was not parachuted into the village as depicted in the movie. The villagers are not Hindu, as a previous reviewer claimed. They are Buddhist, with a strange smattering of animism, as were so many Nung tribesmen in that region. There is very little bad language, no overt violence, no gore, and no sex scenes. The movie tells a simple story of kindness, and heroism during wartime, which is seldom seen in theatres anymore.

great family movie.......1999-07-26

This movie was a very funny movie that left you with a good feeling.It had absolutely no foul language in it and had a good perspective on the Vietnam culture and religion.A great movie for the whole family to watch!Two thumbs up!!
