Yesterday was another rainy day, so we found ourselves indoors for the day. Thankfully, the mail carrier brought a special package that took away the "I'm bored" saying from the girls, as we received the upcoming DUMBO live-action movie from the folks at Walt Disney Studios, to watch. We really wanted to see this movie when it was in theaters, but due to illness (isn't that always the case), we missed the movie, and have be patiently waiting for it to arrive on Blu-Ray and DVD. This movie will release not only Blu-Ray and DVD combo, but also on digital and 4K Ultra HD on June 25th --- so make sure you pre-order your copy on this must see summer movie, so that you can plan a fun-filled movie night soon with your family.
Like I said, I was raining most of the day yesterday, so the girls didn't want to be out in the wet weather. Right after lunch the doorbell rang and the mail carrier handed off a package, which turned out to be this movie. I wish I had my phone on hand to capture the girls screaming with excitement as they opened the package to see the DUMBO movie. They knew it was coming out, but had no idea I was being sent a screener copy to watch. So, before I could snap a photo of them with the movie, the girls rushed upstairs to put the movie in the DVD player. Then, they got their popcorn ready, and grabbed drinks, before heading to the living room to watch this movie. If you missed this movie in theaters, you really have to watch it. I had heard mixed reviews from people about the movie, as many (like me) prefer the classic animated movies over the live-action remakes, but after sitting with the girls to watch the movie, I really found myself enjoying it. The kids that star the movie do a wonderful job, and you can't help but smile each and every time you see DUMBO appear on the screen.
This is truly a wonderful heartfelt movie the whole family will enjoy, and want to watch time and again. And, if you are planning sleepovers or summer travel, this is one movie that add to the memories made this summer. We can't wait to watch it again, and I know you will love it, too!
In addition to the movie releasing to DVD and Blu-Ray, this new release also comes with a lot of great bonus content including deleted scenes, bloopers and even Easter Eggs on parade, just to name a few. My girls really got into the Behind the Scenes feature, as they were amazed at how the movie came to life.

In “Dumbo,” struggling circus owner Max Medici enlists former star Holt Farrier and his children to care for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughingstock.
