Dumbo (1941) [024 AS]

In 1941, Dumbo was released to box office acclaim. Telling the story of the elephant with big ears, this classic holds up as an adult just as much as it did as a kid. The film carries the distinction of the first Disney Animated Feature released on VHS, with a 1982 release date also matched by the first Laserdisc. In 1991, the disc was remastered with digital sound.

==Video==

The first thing you notice is that a Buena Vista logo plasters the RKO logo. Other than that, the picture is great, representing the painted cels in great detail. The Pink Elephant sequence stands out as having good picture quality.

==Audio==

The conversion of the mono sound to Laserdisc is really nice. Don't expect this disc to have high-fidelity audio like Fantasia.

==Package==

The artwork on this disc looks much better than the version released in 1982. My copy came with a business reply card, something you don't see on Laserdiscs very much.

This cartoon movie was one of my most favourite cartoon, I felt specially attached to its story as Dumbo was separated with his parents and begins his journey alone until he could finally use his ear to fly. It gives me so much emotion, it was sad and joyful at the same time.

Growing up, I knew people who had the 1991 Classics VHS, and I have it in my collection.
I loved Dumbo as a kid; I've soured on it a bit now that is still really good.
It helps that the film is in the Academy Ratio, so it's not losing any visual information.
I don't have Dumbo in my LaserDisc collection (I have it on VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray), and I don't think any of the releases have enough appeal to me.
