Disney Pictures seems to have made a special effort to avoid offensive elements in this film, probably because children from about 5 years of age and older will be its principal audience. The film has several rough words and one moderate obscenity, but no sexual content, nudity or sexually suggestive dialogue. A bit of crude humor is introduced when Capt Doyle must insert a suppository into the elephant’s rear, but this is brief and not actually shown. Also, some humor is developed around falling in elephant dung and the elephant vomits once. With all the action in the film comes some moderately intense hand fighting, shooting skirmishes and property destruction. None of the men want to be on this assignment, but develop a strong camaraderie and friendship over time, and all come to love and care for Linh who has lost his parents in the war. OPERATION DUMBO DROP uniquely presents a positive, light-hearted incident from the Viet Nam war, and is fine entertainment for the whole family.
