Full Plot Details

During the Vietnam War, a village that American forces are using to spy on the Ho Chi Minh Trail has its sacred elephant killed by the North Vietnamese Army because they were cooperating with the Americans. The villagers need an elephant for a ceremony that will occur within the week. Captain Sam Cahill, an easygoing man who is heading home, and his hotheaded replacement Captain TC Doyle scrounge up another elephant with the help of sneaky supply chief warrant officer David Poole, luckless farmboy Lawrence Farley, and short-timer Harvey Ashford, and transport it across South Vietnam to get it to the village on time, running into all sorts of transport problems, personality conflicts, and an NVA squad that wants the Americans out of the village.

Movie Reviews

USA Today - 9/10 by Mike ClarkPhotographed by the great Russell Boyd but looking drab and washed out for 108 minutes, the movie just gets by on heart and a conversation-stopping finale.
Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Gary DretzkaA well-crafted and entertaining pic with broad, cross-generational appeal.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Kevin ThomasAs a family movie, Operation Dumbo Drop is sort of entertaining. As history, it's shameless.
The Associated Press - 6/10 by Patricia BibbyThe whole concept, supposedly based on a true story, is weird — this is what Vietnam movies have come to? But at least the Disney quadruped has the grace to say nothing, and Leary, still an interesting motormouth, knows enough not to smoke or swear when there are elephants around.
Baltimore Sun - 5/10 by Chris KridlerOperation Dumbo Drop is painlessly good-humored by any lights, but the viewers most likely to enjoy all this are those most easily driven to giggles by the idea of elephant poop.
Washington Post - 5/10 by Hal HinsonOn the one hand, it's a diverting entertainment for children and young adults; on the other, it's a ludicrous fantasy about a war whose complexities cannot be contained by facile metaphors.
San Francisco Chronicle - 5/10 by Peter StackFortunately, the people save Operation Dumbo Drop, and it's their determinedly good-natured performances that keep the film moving through several well-paced misadventures.
The Hollywood Reporter - 4/10 by David HunterEven the most vigorous tear-duct manipulation, and a few funny scenes, cannot save Dumbo from its dominant tone of stilted corniness and prefab sentimentality.
Internet Reviews - 3/10 by Steve RhodesSlow and tedious ... All of the actors seemed to be on autopilot.
Spirituality and Practice - 0/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatEndearing message about the value of keeping one's word and the camaraderie that can grow out of doing something good during a very bad war.
