The Dumbo on the left? Sure. That is a cute, adorable Dumbo...how the character should be.
The Dumbo on the right? No thanks. Just look at those eyes & that facial expression.
Looks like he's about to devour that poor fellow standing next to him. Save that one for when the Tim Burton remake comes out.
Wouldn't that be great!

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
That is a very interesting meet n' greet. I'm not really sure why it seems so different from other characters! But I would love it

I want to say I'd rather see a Living Character Initiative version of the character...but I don't see it happening.
Nevertheless, if they offered this M&G I'd probably get in line!

Just to clarify... you would prefer a real, live baby elephant be presented in the parks as Dumbo?

Aww heck just re-air Dumbo's circus and give these characters the M&G they deserve.

I will never forget the time they brought out Dumbo for the opening of New Fantasyland but briefly during the opening performance. Dumbo hasn't been at the Disney Parks since the Disney Electrical Parade before the update in 2009.
In fact there was an unused soundtrack of the Circus unit. The audio can be heard at 9:32.
Also what location was the right picture of Dumbo at? I bet it's at Disneyland Paris, but I think it might be the Magic Kingdom but for a private event.

Especially Flower, while Thumper has been spotted at Animal Kingdom a few times in the past along with Miss Bunny. These days most of the public would mostly spot Thumper and Miss Bunny during the Easter pre parade at the Magic Kingdom.
Meanwhile Flower hasn't been seen at the parks since the 1970's and 1960's. At this point I'm going to bet he's (Still weird remembering that Flower's a boy and not a girl) only in Tokyo Disney Resort along with the chef from The Little Mermaid and Bianca and Bernard. Plus Bambi doesn't get that much representation at the Disney Parks besides being featured during the Epcot's International Flower And Garden Festival.

I heard The Ringmaster from Dumbo used to be meetable at WDW and Disneyland back in the 70's judging by seeing very old footage of the early years of the Main Street Electrical Parade. I remember seeing him pulling one of the flat Dumbo circus floats. If he ever returned to doing meet and greets I'm picturing him being a face character. These got to be photos of him somewhere online.The Dumbo on the left? Sure. That is a cute, adorable Dumbo...how the character should be.

I feel sorry for the guy inside that suit. Looks very cumbersome. How much does it weigh, I wonder?
Yeah, count me as a fan of the Living Character Initiative. I suppose the tech would be less reliable than the suits, though. BTW, whatever happened to the "fully-articulated" new Beast costume?

I agree, the Dumbo on the left is cuter.The Dumbo on the left? Sure. That is a cute, adorable Dumbo...how the character should be.

As in an Audio-Animatronic a la Lucky the Dinosaur? That'd be pretty neat.
