You'll love him!"; "See Timothy Q. Mouse, the tiny terror of the big top - Dumbo's only pal!"; "See Pink Elephants on Parade - and believe it or not!"; "See The Five Black Crows, the raucous quintet that gives the blues the bird!"; "See The Biggest Littlest Show on Earth... in winter quarters, in training and giving performances on tour!"; "See all the wonders, excitement, and action... the clowns, menagerie.... the parachute battalion of storks... all the marvels of the circus plus the charm that only Disney can create when he lets himself go!"; "3-Ring feature length production"; "It's the screen's greatest adventure in enchantment!"; "Here's Disney with the brakes off... the Big-Top with the lid off. A three-ring circus that rings with laughter and song! With Dumbo heading a host of lovable creatures including: tiny Timothy Q. Mouse; the raucous 5 Black Crows; Casey Junior, the talking engine; the dive-bombing Storks; dancing Pink Elephants. All-out fun for all!"; "It's Disney on the loose in a circus of surprises. With Dumbo, the baby elephant, flying on floppy ears... cuter and dumber than Dopey! And tiny Timothy Mouse! And Casey Junior, the talking locomotive! The comical Black Crows, dive-bombing Storks, dancing Pink Elephants! You'll love them all!") featuring the voices of Sterling Holloway, Verna Felton, Herman Bing, Edward Brophy, and Cliff Edwards. Note that Mel Blanc is credited in IMDb as the voice of Dumbo, which is interesting, since the elephant has no lines of dialogue!

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had pretty minor wear on the fold and some slight darkening and tiny tears in parts of the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above.
