One of Disney’s Most Tender Moments Captured as an Ornament
Disney has never shied away from making you
cry. Granted, I can cry easily, but there are many moments in Disney
films that will make you tear up. And one that still gets me is the
Baby Mine scene from Dumbo. That’s the scene that Hallmark chose to
make into an ornament this year, and it’s a winner.
Now purists will easily note that this isn’t a strict
recreation of the scene from the movie. In it, Dumbo’s mom was in
jail. They’ve opted to go with a tender scene of the mother and son
elephants cuddling instead. Dumbo is in Mrs. Jumbo’s trunk and she
is rocking him. They are looking at each other and
smiling. Honestly, it’s a very cute ornament.
However, it doesn’t stop there. This is one of
Hallmark’s magic ornament that includes sound. When you put the two
button batters in the bottom and press the button on the left side, you hear a
clip from “Baby Mine.” The clip lasts just under 30 seconds seconds,
and yes, it is directly from the movie.
You get the complete first verse of the song before it fades out rather
quickly.
I love Dumbo, and
I love this song, so getting this ornament was a no brainer for me this
year. And I was richly rewarded. The sculpt is so
incredibly cute, and the song clip adds so much to the fun.
Granted, this isn’t necessarily a Christmas scene, so you
could leave it out all year long to enjoy. The base is perfectly
flat, so you can set it out on any shelf or desk or table you might want to
display it on.
If you do plan to display it on your tree, you’ll find the
loop on the back of Mrs. Jumbo’s head. Slip a hook through it, and
you’ll see that the ornament hangs slightly to the left. If you are looking for it, you’ll definitely
notice it, but once it is hanging in your Christmas tree, you won’t notice at
all.
This is a great idea brought to life
perfectly. Any Disney fan, especially a fan of Dumbo, will be proud to display Baby Mine for years to come.
