With just a month to go until the release of Disney’s Dumbo movie on 29th March 2019, we are delighted to own this adorable Dumbo 15 cm plush from Just Play.
The movie is about Circus owner Max Medici who enlists Holt Farrier to care for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughing stock in an already struggling circus. But when Holt’s children discover that Dumbo can fly, persuasive entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere and an aerial artist named Colette Marchant swoop in to make the peculiar pachyderm a star. This is such a classic Disney film that will surely be loved by many! To be honest, I have forgotten most of the storyline from the original animated movie and can’t wait to watch it!
