Overall Rating:
I liked this edition. It had been so long since I had seen Dumbo that I had forgotten how much I liked it. The voice actors were really good, especially the voice of the mouse(bad at names), which is the most commonly heard one throughout the movie. I have to admit I was a bit disturbed by the elephant hallucination music, but I don't know if it was because it was in Japanese, or if it's because it's just a bizarre scene to begin with. I kept laughing when the Japanese speaking elephants sang "Heepeety Hoopeety". The crow song was a challenge to translate because in Japanese they don't have the same plays on words as we do in English. So to make a song about seeing a "horsefly", "housefly", or a "dragonfly" just wouldn't make much sense in Japan. It was necessary to create another song that had the same message but not the same appeal to English speakers. I liked what they did with it. Check out the Song sample!
