Under Wincer's intelligent direction it is a feel-good family adventure pitting man's bravery and humanity against the vicissitudes of nature and the inhumanity of war. [28 Jul 1995, p.3E]

The movie just gets by on heart and a conversation-stopping finale. [28 Jul 1995, p.5D]

As a family movie, Operation Dumbo Drop is sort of entertaining. As history, it's shameless.

Operation Dumbo Drop has the lumbering pace of a pachyderm. [28 Jul 1995, p.8]

Operation 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.
