Dumbo (1941)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: col 64m
Director: Ben Sharpsteen
Cast: animated

Synopsis:

An elephant with extraordinarily long ears is the laughing stock of the circus but shows himself to be uniquely different in another way.

Review:

Disney's fourth animated feature, and the first to appear on British network television, has some fine draughtsmanship and an excellent soundtrack of songs at the service of a simple and engaging story which we know so well (the Ugly Duckling in another guise). The drunken nightmare is a masterpiece of improvisation, but the early sequences involving the train and the raising of the big top are just as impressively inventive.
