      Empire

      With its genuinely cute hero and appealing storyline, Dumbo's exactly right for younger children but not too milk-soppy for anyone over eight. Indispensible.

      The New York Times

      The most genial, the most endearing, the most completely precious cartoon feature film ever to emerge from the magical brushes of Walt Disney's wonder-working artists!...A film you will never forget.

      Time Out

      One of the best of Disney's animated features. An ugly duckling variation, lifted by those unforgettable characters.

      Chicago Reader

      Though it was made during a bitter artists' strike in 1941, it's one of Disney's most charming and perfectly proportioned films, uninflated by the cultural pretensions Uncle Walt was fond of slipping in.

      TV Guide Magazine

      A masterpiece of visual story-telling.

      The A.V. Club

      It's not only one of the best classic-era Disney features, but also one of the best animated films from any studio at any time.

      Time

      Although Dumbo offers no startling innovations in animated cartooning, it is probably Disney's best all-round picture to date. Though it lacks the bomb-burst novelty of Snow White, its craftsmanship is far beyond that memorable fairy tale's. Seldom has Disney articulated his characters so aptly. Dumbo is a most human little fellow, not bright, but willing.
